✓ Lung expansion - pleura: two thin, smooth layers of tissue with thin film

of fluid in between allow frictionless movement across one another.

Inhalation: Chest expands, creates negative pressure in thoracic cavity, parietal pleura pulls

the visceral, which pull the lungs.


Exhalation: Diagphragm/intercostals relax, thoracic cage contracts, pressure in cavity rises,

air is expelled. Normally passive. No energy required. Exhaled air contains 16% o2.


Diaphragm: primary muscle for respiration. Usually involuntary but can be controlled

voluntarily. Esophagus and great vessels pass through the diaphragm. Dome shaped until

contraction during inhalation; moves down and expands the size of the thoracic cavity.


Intercostal muscles.




Alveoli


✓ All airway structures serve to get air to this point. Only place where o2

and co2 are exchanged. Contact w/ pulmonary capillaries. Pulmonary

capillaries diffuse cabon dioxide from the body to the alveoli. Alveloi

diffuse o2 from respiratory system to the body. Surfactant is: a substance

that helps keep the alveoli from collapsing.




What each number in BP represent


✓ Systolic: the pressure exerted during contracted of the left ventricle.

Diastolic: the pressure between contractions. The resting phase. This is constant.
