MECHANISMS OF RESPIRATION
Gas Exchange

· Gas crosses the respiratory membrane


by diffusion
· Oxygen enters the blood
· Carbon dioxide enters the alveoli
· Macrophages add protection
· Surfactant coats gas-exposed alveolar
surfaces

Mechanics of Breathing

· Two phases
· Inspiration – flow of air into lung
· Expiration – air leaving lung
Inspiration

· Diaphragm and intercostal muscles


contract
· The size of the thoracic cavity increases
· External air is pulled into the lungs due to
an increase in intrapulmonary volume

Exhalation

· Largely a passive process which depends


on natural lung elasticity
· As muscles relax, air is pushed out of the
lungs
· Forced expiration can occur mostly by
contracting internal intercostal muscles to
depress the rib cage

Events of Respiration
· Pulmonary ventilation – moving air in and
out of the lungs
· External respiration – gas exchange
between pulmonary blood and alveoli
· Respiratory gas transport – transport of
oxygen and carbon dioxide via the
bloodstream
· Internal respiration – gas exchange
between blood and tissue cells in
systemic capillaries
External Respiration

· Oxygen movement into the blood


· The alveoli always has more oxygen than
the blood
· Oxygen moves by diffusion towards the
area of lower concentration
· Pulmonary capillary blood gains oxygen

External Respiration

· Carbon dioxide movement out of the


blood
· Blood returning from tissues has higher
concentrations of carbon dioxide than air in
the alveoli
· Pulmonary capillary blood gives up carbon
dioxide
· Blood leaving the lungs is oxygen-rich
and carbon dioxide-poor

Internal Respiration

· Exchange of gases between blood and


body cells
· An opposite reaction to what occurs in
the lungs
· Carbon dioxide diffuses out of tissue to
blood
· Oxygen diffuses from blood into tissue
