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
