Functional Requirements

? The Respiratory System has tubular components for air/gas

conduction

? Plus respiratory components for gas exchange.
? Inspiratory pressure tends to collapse the conducting tubes. They

must be held open.

? Other essential functions include: warming; moistening; cleansing by

removal of particulate matter; detoxification by absorption of harmful

gases; and entrapment of harmful bacteria and viruses.

Conduction

? The nasal cavity is held open by bone and cartilage.
? Most of the additional functions are carried out by

pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelial cells and goblet

cells (mucous secretors).

? The cilia beat rhythmically in one direction only
? Move debris and pathogen-laden mucous to the oropharynx

and mouth where it is expectorated or swallowed.


Continued.....

? Air temperature control is by the profuse capillary beds that

are beneath the epithelium

? Which warm or cool inspired air.
? Extensive venous plexus, largely replace capillaries in the

nasal cavities to modify air temperature

Trachea

Bronchus and Bronchial Tree

? The trachea typifies the

conducting system.

? The cilia are paralyzed by

cigarette smoke.

? At rest, smooth muscle

contraction decreases

tracheal (and bronchial)

diameter to decrease

respiratory dead space.

Continued......

? Bronchioles - lumen of 1mm or less in diameter.
? The epithelium ciliated columnar.
? Cartilage and glands disappear
? Bronchiole is held open by the surrounding lung tissue.
? The smooth muscle in the wall may excessively narrow the

lumen in asthma.




Bronchiole

? Bronchioles with a lumen of 1

mm or less in diameter.

? Epithelium becomes ciliated

columnar.

? Cartilage and glands disappear

? The bronchiole is held open by

the surrounding lung tissue.

? The smooth muscle may

excessively narrow the lumen in

asthma.

Bronchiole

? Bronchioles continue to

divide and decrease in size

? Terminal Bronchioles
? Respiratory Bronchioles ,

which give the alveolar

ducts, alveolar sacs and

alveoli.

Terminal and Respiratory Bronchioles

? Epithelium - non-ciliated

cuboidal and goblet cells

disappear.

? Gas exchange - in the

respiratory alveoli

? That bud from the

respiratory bronchioles.

Alveoli

? The alveoli - functional unit
? Out-pocketings of respiratory

bronchioles, alveolar ducts and

alveolar sacs.

? The most conspicuous feature of

the alveolar wall -Presence of

many small capillaries in the

septae between them.

? Opposite the septae the alveoli

are open to allow air entry.


Epithelium

? Type I are the flattened epithelial cel s

(squamous pneumocytes) that have

cytoplasmic extensions about 0.1 - 0.3

um thick and have no microvil i.

? In some areas the basal lamina of the

type I cel is fused to the capil ary

? Endothelium - possible areas of gas

exchange.

? Type I , the large alveolar cel s (granular

pneumocytes) are cuboidal without

broad cytoplasmic extensions and

occupy about 5% of the alveolar surface.

Epithelium

? Type II Cells produce Surfactant, a stabilizing, surface-active material

consisting mainly of the phospholipid lecithin.

? Surfactant is crucial to lung function
? Its high viscosity and low surface tension, stabilizes the diameter of

alveoli preventing collapse after expiration, while retaining residual

air in the alveoli after each breath;

? Because alveoli are already partially open, energy expenditure in

subsequent inspirations is much less.

Continued....

? Acting as a detergent surfactant facilitates the removal of amniotic

fluid from the lungs at birth, before the first breath.

? Dust cells (macrophages) usually lie free in the alveoli and air

passageways.

? Their role is to clear the lungs of invading bacteria and inspired

particulate material (e.g. dust and carbon particles).




Summary

? Massive surface area for gas exchange (75 square metres)
? As lumen decreases so do cartilage, cilia, epithelial height and mucous
? Smooth muscle controls diameter, but excessively narrowing in

asthma

? Surfactant is thick in polycystic fibrosis

Emphysema

Bronchiectasis
