• Respiratory and circulatory system are closely coupled
• Also functions in olfaction and speech
Respiratory System
• Respiration involves four processes1. Pulmonary ventilation
(breathing): movement of air into and out of lungs
2. External respiration: exchangeof O2 and CO2 between lungs and blood
3. Transport of O2 and CO2 in blood

Capillaries
Respiratory membrane is combination of alveolar squamous cells and capillary endothelial cells • 0.5 µm thick blood-air barrier
• Type I alveolar cells = simple squamous supported by thin basement membrane, dominate• Type II alveolar cells = scattered surfactant-producing cuboidal cells, produce antimicrobials also.
Surfactant decreases cohesiveness (surface tension) of water on surface, reducing tendency to collapse
• Alveolar pores share air between adjacent alveoli• Alveolar macrophages move along surface eventually being swept out
Pulmonary Ventilation• Boyle’s law: relationship between pressure and
volume of a gas• Gases always fill the container they are in
• If amount of gas is the same and container size is reduced, pressure will increase
• So pressure (P) varies inversely with volume (V)
• Mathematically:• P1V1 = P2V2
When atmospheric pressure and intrapulmonary pressure are the same, no air moves• muscles acting on the lungs change the intrapulmonary
pressure

• Normal inspirational muscle contractions lead to 500 ml change in volume
• Diaphragm is dominant inspirational muscle
Forced inspirations recruit the scalenes, sternocleidomastoids, pectoralis minors, and erector spinae
Normal expiration is passive
Gas Exchange:Basic Properties of Gases
• Dalton’s law of partial pressures• Total pressure exerted by mixture of gases is equal to sum of
pressures exerted by each gas
• Partial pressure• Pressure exerted by each gas in mixture
• Directly proportional to its percentage in mixture
• Henry’s law• For gas mixtures in contact with liquids:
• Each gas will dissolve in the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure
• At equilibrium, partial pressures in the two phases will be equal
• Amount of each gas that will dissolve depends on: • Solubility: CO2 is 20 more soluble in water than O2, and little N2 will
dissolve
• Temperature: as temperature of liquid rises, solubility decreases

Oxygen Transport
• Association of oxygen and hemoglobin• Each Hb molecule is composed of four polypeptide
chains, each with a iron-containing heme group• So each Hb can transport four oxygen molecules
• Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2): hemoglobin-O2
combination
• Reduced hemoglobin (deoxyhemoglobin) (HHb): hemoglobin that has released O2
The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve will
help you understand how the properties of
hemoglobin (Hb) affect oxygen binding in the
lungs and oxygen release in the tissues. In the lungs, where PO
2is high
(100 mm Hg), Hb is almostfully saturated (98%) with O2. This axis tells you how much
O2 is bound to Hb. At 100%,each Hb molecule has 4 boundoxygen molecules.
If more O2 is present,more O2 is bound.Howev er, because ofHb’s properties (O2
binding strengthchanges with saturation),this is an S-shaped curve.
This axis tells you the relativeamount (partial pressure) ofO2 dissolv ed in the fluidsurrounding the Hb. In the tissues of other organs,
where PO2 is low (40 mm Hg), Hbis less saturated (75%) with O2.

Oxygen Transport
Influence of other factors on hemoglobin saturation
• 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) is produced by RBCs during glycolysis• BPG levels rise when oxygen levels are low
• Increasing BPG binding to Hb: release more O2
• As tissues metabolize glucose, they use O2, causing:• Increases in PCO2
and H+ in capillary blood
• Declining blood pH (acidosis) and increasing Pco2 cause Hb-O2 bond to weaken
• Referred to as Bohr effect
• O2 unloading occurs where needed most
• Heat production in active tissue directly and indirectly decreases Hbaffinity for O2
• Allows increased O2 unloading to active tissues
Changing Delivery of Oxygen by Hemoglobin
• At rest, hemoglobin carries more oxygen than it actually delivers to tissues• Only 23% of what is carried is delivered
• Tissue Po2 determines % liberated
• Hemoglobin saturation (all hemes carrying oxygen) changes with changing conditions• temperature and pH-related conformational shift in
hemoglobin, ↑BPG reduces its capacity to carry

Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Occurs primarily in RBCs, where enzyme carbonicanhydrase reversibly and rapidly catalyzes this reaction
• In systemic capillaries, after HCO3– is created, it quickly
diffuses from RBCs into plasma• Outrush of HCO3
– from RBCs is balanced as Cl– moves into RBCs from plasma • Referred to as chloride shift

Carbon Dioxide Transport
Encouraging CO2 exchange at tissues and at lungs
• Haldane effect - amount of CO2 transported is affected by PO2• The lower the PO2
and Hb O2 saturation, the more CO2 Hbcan carry
• Unsaturated Hb buffers H+ and forms carbaminohemoglobin more easily
• Bohr effect - at tissues, as more CO2 enters blood, more oxygen dissociates from hemoglobin • As HbO2 releases O2, it more readily forms

• What causes change?
• Responses:• Reserve capacity built in
• In volume – structure of conducting passages, muscular involvement, lung involvement
• Dilation
• Recruitment
• In blood flow – adjustment in heart rate and lung involvement
• In hemoglobin – changes in affinity for O2
• In respiratory rate – stimulation from the brain
