STEPS IN PULMONARY RESPIRATION

 Breathing or pulmonary ventilation


 Diffusion of gases( O2, CO2 ) across the alveolar
membrane.
 Transport of gases in blood.
 Diffusion of O2 from blood into tissues and CO2 from
tissues into blood.
 Utilisation of oxygen in tissues

MECHANISM OF BREATHING
INSPIRATION

 Occurs when intrapulmonary pressure is less than


atmospheric pressure.
 Contraction of diaphragm muscle which move
downward that increases volume of thoracic chamber.
 Contraction of intercostal muscles causes ribs and the
sternum to move upward and outwards increasing
thoracic chamber.

MECHANISM OF BREATHING
INSPIRATION

 Increase in thoracic volume causes decrease in intra-


pulmonary pressure, as a result air rushes into the
lungs i.e. inspiration.

http://schools.aglasem.com
EXPIRATION
 Occurs when intra-pulmonary pressure is higher than
atmosphere.
 Relaxation of diaphragm and moves upward.
 Relaxation of intercostal muscles causes ribs and
sternum to move inward and downward decreasing
the volume of thoracic chamber.

http://schools.aglasem.com
EXPIRATION
 Air pressure in thoracic cavity increases above
atmospheric pressure.
 Air rushes out of lungs i.e. expiration.

EXCHANGE OF GASES
 Alveoli are site of gaseous exchange.
 Gases (O2, CO2 ) are exchanged by diffusion basing
on their pressure or conc.
 Thickness of membrane and solubility of gases are
two major factors that affect rate of diffusion.
 The thickness of membrane is about 0.2 mm.
 The factors are favourable for (i) oxygen into blood
from alveoli (ii) carbon dioxide from blood into
alveoli.

TRANSPORT OF GASES IN THE BLOOD
(a) transport of oxygen

 97 of O2 is transported by RBC in the form of


oxyhaemoglobin.
 3% of O2 is carried in dissolved form in plasma.
 O2 binds with iron part of Hb in a reversible manner
to form oxyhaemoglobin and each Hb molecule can
carry 4 O2 molecule.

(a) Transport Of Oxygen

 HighPO2, low PCO2, H+ conc. and low temp. favour


binding of O2 with Hb.
 OxyHb dissociates at tissue level where reverse
condition is found.
 100 ml blood can transport 5 ml oxygen.

http://schools.aglasem.com
(b) Transport of carbon dioxide
 100 ml blood transport 4 ml carbon dioxide.
 It is transported in 3 forms.
 (i) dissolved form-(5-7%)
 (ii) as carbaminohaemoglobin in the RBC.
 (iii )in the form of bicarbonate in RBC and plasma.

http://schools.aglasem.com
(b) Transport of carbon dioxide

*Dissolved form in plasma


(i) 5-7 % of CO2 is carried in dissolved form in the
plasma.
*As carbaminohaeboglobin
(ii) about 20- 25 %of CO2 combines with amine
radical of globin part of Hb and forms
carbaminohaemoglobin.

(c) As Bicarbonate
 RBC has high conc. Of the enzyme carbonic
anhydrase combines CO2 +H2O = H2CO3
 Carbonic acid dissociates into H+ and
bicarbonate ions.

http://schools.aglasem.com
(c) As Bicarbonate
 Some bicarbonate ions diffuse into cytoplasm (in
exchange of Cl-) and are carried in the form of
sodium bi-carbonate.
 The remaining bicarbonates ions in the RBC are
carried as potassium bicarbonate.

RELEASE OF CO2 IN ALVEOLI

 At alveoli Po2 is high andPco2 is low, O2 binds to Hb.


 This oxygenation provides H+ and promotes the
release of CO2.

http://schools.aglasem.com
RELEASE OF CO2 IN ALVEOLI

 The reactions catalysed by carbonic anhydrase occur


in reverse direction.
 Since oxyHb cannot carry as much CO2 as deoxyHb,
carbaminoHb also dissociates and release CO2.
 As PCO2 becomes higher than that of alveolar air,
CO2 diffuses from the blood capillaries into alveoli.
