Respiratory Physiology
Lung recoil - causes the alveoli to collapse and
it results from
1. Elastic recoil caused by the elastic fibers in
alveolar walls.
2. Surface tension of the film of fluid that lines the
alveoli.
Respiratory Physiology
Surfactant - mixture of lipoprotein molecules
form a layer over the surface of the fluid
within the alveoli to reduce surface tension.
Significantly reduces the tendency of the lungs to
collapse.

ways
7% is transported dissolved in plasma.
23% transported in combination with blood proteins.
70% transported in the bicarbonate form.
Regulation of Respiration
(Cerebral and Limbic System Control)
Possible to voluntarily or involuntarily to
control rate of breathing through the cerebral
cortex.
Apnea absence of breathing.
Voluntary apnea increases a greater and
greater urge to breathe due to increasing
PCO2 levels.
Regulation of Respiration
(Chemical Control of Ventilation)
The Chemoreceptors involved with the
regulation of respiration responds to changes
in hydrogen ion concentration and PO2, or
both.
Chemosensitive areas are located in the
medulla oblongota.
Peripheral Chemoreceptors are found in the
carotid and aortic bodies.
Regulation of Respiration
(Effect of Carbon Dioxide)
The major regulator of respiration.
Hypercapnia greater than normal levels of
carbon dioxide in the blood.
Hypocapnia lower than normal carbon
dioxide levels.
