Respiratory System Concept Map

The document defines various lung capacities and volumes including total lung capacity, functional residual capacity, expiratory reserve volume, residual volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, dead space volume, inspiration capacity, and vital capacity. It also outlines the major functions of the respiratory system such as gas exchange between blood and the external environment, inspiration, expiration, breathing mechanism, respiration, and pulmonary ventilation. Finally, it provides an overview of the anatomy of the respiratory tract including differences between the right and left lungs and primary bronchi.

Total lung capacity

Sum of all volumes

Functional Residual capacity


residual volume+expiratory reserve volume

Expiratory reserve volume


Additional air forced out during maximum expiration
Residual volume
Amount of air left in aveoli after forrced expiration
Definitions of Lung Capacity defenitions Tidal Volume
Air moved in one respiration

Additional air taken in during maximal inhalation


Inspiratory reserve volume
Air remaining in conducting zone
Dead Space Volume
tidal volume+inspiratory reserve volume
Inspiration Capacity
inspiratory reserve volume+ tidal volume+expiratory reserve
volume
Vital Capacity

Expiration
Flow of air out of the lungs
Gas exchanges between blood and external environment

Inspiration
Flow of air into the lungs
Major Functions of Respiratory System

Breathing Mechanism

Passageways to lungs purify,warm,and humidify the


incoming air Entire process of exchanging gases between atmosphere and
body cells
Respiration

Movement of air in the Lungs


Pulmonary Ventilation

Diaphragm

Left/Right Bronchus
Right Primary Bronchus
Wider,shorter, and straighter than the left bronchus Larynx
Right Lung Difference between Right/Left Lungs and Right/Left Oral Cavity
2 lobes
Primary Bronchi Anatomy of the Respiratory Tract
Respiratory System Concept Map Nasal Cavity

Nostril

3 lobes Pharynx
Left Lung
Trachea
Longer,thinner, and crooked than the right bronchus
Left Primary Bronchus Left/Right Lung

Asthma
Chronic inflamed hypersensitive bronchiole passages

External Respiration
occurs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and
carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveolar air. Lung Cancer
1/3 of all cancer deaths in the US and is associated with smoking

External and Internal Respiration Emphesyma


Alveoli enlarge as adjacent chamber break through causing
chronic inflammation which promotes lung fibrosis
COPD
Labored of difficulty breathing becomes progressively more
painful
Sinuses Disorder of Respiratory System
Upper Respiratory Tract
occurs in the metabolizing tissues, where oxygen diffuses out of
the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cells Nose
Internal Respiration Mucosa becomes inflamed which also increases production and
Nasal Cavity impairs ventilation
Chronic Bronchitis
Pharynx
Unexplained infant death which may be cause by neural
Organs of the Respiratory System respiratory control center
SIDS
