Respiration Self-review Topics

• Location & Function of structures of human respiratory system– diaphragm, alveoli, lungs, bronchioles,

bronchi, trachea, larynx, epiglottis, pharynx, nasal cavity, mouth, cilia, mucus, mucous membrane

• Mechanical control of breathing– role of diaphragm and rib cage

Respiration topics for discussion

• Chemical control of breathing– Role of CO2 levels in blood– Blood chemistry & pH

• Oxygen delivery by Hemoglobin & the Bohr effect

• Adaptations to breathing at altitude• Dangers of carbon monoxide, altitude

sickness, & smoking

Chemical control of breathing is controlled by CO2 levels in blood

The medulla controls the breathing rate by monitoring blood pH

Oxygen Delivery by Hemoglobin & the Bohr Effect

Altitiude Adaptations:Hb O2 saturation in different species

Circulation & Blood Self-review Topics• Evolution of vertebrate circulatory systems

– comparative anatomy of fish & mammal heart/ circulation• hearts with 2 & 4 chambers respectively• single circuit blood flow v. dual circuit blood flow (pulmonary &

systemic) respectively

• Location & Function of structures of human circulatory system– Heart structure (chambers, valves & blood vessels) and

path by which blood flows through it (deox. & oxygenated blood)

– Cardiac cycle (systole/diastole, how happens, role of SA node, AV node, Bundle of His)

– Systemic & Pulmonary circulation– Blood vessel structure & function (arteries, veins,

capillaries)

Circulation topics for discussion

• Blood pressure & velocity

• Cardiovascular disease (types & causes)

• Blood makeup & function

• ABO Blood typing

• If time: Fetal circulation

Blood Pressure in Various Vessels, Blood Vessel Area & Blood Velocity

Types of Cardiovascular Disease

• CV Disease Risk Factors:– – – – – –

• Examples of CV disease:– Hypertension– Atherosclerosis– Angina pectoris– Coronary thrombosis– Stroke

CV Disease: Atherosclerosis• What is it?

– A good definition & description of arteriosclerosis & atherosclerosis: http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00038850.html

Occlusion (blockage)

Remaining opening

Other Manifestations of CV Disease

• Angina pectoris • Coronary thrombosis• Stroke

Treatment of Atherosclerosis in Coronary Arteries

• Angioplasty

• Angioplasty with Stent insertion

• By-pass surgery
