Chapter 37 35.1 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Respiration results in gas exchange between the body’s cells and the environment In terrestrial vertebrates, respiration includes: Ventilation (i.e., breathing) External respiration - gas exchange between the air and the blood within the lungs Internal respiration - gas exchange between the blood and the tissue fluid

Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Gas exchange takes place by diffusion For external respiration to be effective, gas-exchange regions must be: Moist Thin Large in relation to body size Effectiveness of diffusion is enhanced by vascularization Delivery to cells is promoted by respiratory pigments (e.g., hemoglobin)

Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Overview of Gas-Exchange Surfaces Gases of air can dissolve in water However, When saturated, water contains a small fraction of the O2 in same volume of air Water is much more dense than air Aquatic animals expend more energy to breathe than do terrestrial animals

Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Hydras and planarians Small animals with a large surface area Most of their cells exchange gases directly with the environment Larger aquatic animals Often have gills Finely divided vascularized outgrowths of the body surface or pharynx Gills of bony fishes Outward extensions of pharynx Ventilation is brought about by combined action of the mouth and gill covers (opercula) Utilize a countercurrent exchange system to transfer oxygen from the environment to their blood

Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Insects and other terrestrial arthropods A respiratory system consisting of branched tracheae Oxygen enters tracheae at spiracles Tracheae branch until they end in tracheoles that are in direct contact with body cells
11
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader
Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Terrestrial vertebrates have evolved lungs Vascular outgrowths from lower pharyngeal region Lungs of birds and mammals are elaborately subdivided All terrestrial vertebrates, except birds, use a ventilation mechanism whereby air moves in and out by the same route

Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Lungs of Humans As air moves through upper respiratory system It is filtered to free it of debris Warmed Humidified When air reaches lungs It is at body temperature, and It is saturated with water

Chapter 37 Gas Exchange Surfaces Respiratory Systems Lungs of Humans Air passes from pharynx through the glottis Larynx and trachea Permanently held open by cartilage rings Facilitates movement of air When food is swallowed The larynx rises The glottis is closed by the epiglottis Backward movement of soft palate covers the entrance of nasal passages into the pharynx

35.2 Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 35.2 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Breathing Inspiration in mammals Creation of negative pressure in lungs The rib cage is elevated The diaphragm contracts and lowers Thoracic pressure decreases to less than atmospheric pressure Atmospheric pressure forces air into the lungs
17
Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Breathing Expiration in mammals Creation of positive pressure in lungs The rib cage is lowered The diaphragm rises Thoracic pressure increases to more than atmospheric pressure Forces air out the lungs
18
Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Ventilation All terrestrial vertebrates, with the exception of birds, utilize a tidal ventilation mechanism for breathing Volume of thoracic cavity and lungs is increased by muscle contractions that lower the diaphragm and raise the ribs Create negative pressure in the thoracic cavity and lungs, and then air flows into the lungs during inspiration

Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Ventilation (continued) Birds use a one-way ventilation mechanism in lungs Fresh air never mixes with used air Increases gas-exchange efficiency

Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Modifications of Breathing in Humans Normally, adults have a breathing rate of 12 to 20 ventilations per minute The rhythm of ventilation is controlled by a respiratory center in the medulla oblongata of the brain Sends out impulses to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles of the rib cage so that inspiration occurs When the respiratory center stops sending neuronal signals to the diaphragm and the rib cage, expiration occurs

Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Gas Exchange and Transport Partial pressure The amount of pressure exerted by a gas Gases diffuse from areas of higher to lower partial pressure Ventilation causes the alveoli to have a higher partial pressure of oxygen and a lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide than the blood in the pulmonary capillaries This accounts for the exchange of gases in the lungs The opposite occurs in the tissues of the body
24
Breathing and Transport of Gases
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Breathing and Transport of Gases Respiratory Systems Transport of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide External Respiration Most oxygen entering the pulmonary capillaries from the alveoli combine with hemoglobin in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin Internal Respiration Oxyhemoglobin gives up oxygen, which diffuses out of the blood into the tissues where it is taken up by cells A small amount of carbon dioxide enters the blood from the tissues and binds with hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin Most of the carbon dioxide is transported in the form of bicarbonate ion

Respiration and Human Health
Biology, 9th ed, Sylvia Mader Chapter 37 Respiration and Human Health Respiratory Systems Disorders Affecting the Lungs Cystic fibrosis (CF) Defective gene results in accumulation of mucus secretions in the lungs Secretions become sticky and form plugs that interfere with breathing Treatment involves clearing mucus from airways administering mucus-thinning drugs and vigorously slapping the patient on the back
