Respiratory System Function
Use of oxygen and formation of carbon dioxide during metabolism by body cells. The process is called respiration.
External ventilation (breathing): Oxygen passes from lungs to blood (capillaries) and carbon dioxide passes from capillaries back into lungs to be expelled.Internal respiration: The body cells take on oxygen from the blood and give back carbon dioxide, which is transported back to the lungs.

Organs of the Respiratory System
7
Structures of the Nasal Passages and Throat
8
Respiratory System
nose: lined with mucous membrane and fine hairs; acts as a filter to moisten and warm the entering airpharynx (throat): serves as a food and air passageway
adenoid: lymphoid tissue located behind the nasal cavitytonsils: lymphoid tissue located behind the mouth
9
Respiratory System (cont’d)
larynx (voice box): location of the vocal cordsepiglottis: flap of cartilage that automatically covers the opening of the larynx during swallowing and keeps food from entering the larynxtrachea: passageway for air to the bronchi

11
Normal vocal folds visualized with an endoscope
12
Respiratory System (cont’d)
bronchus: one of two branches from the trachea, which conducts air into the lungs, where it divides and subdivides (referred to as a bronchial tree).
bronchioles: smallest subdivision of the bronchial treealveolus: air sacs at the end of the bronchioles; oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged through alveolar walls and capillaries

16
Respiratory System (cont’d)
lungs: 2 sponge-like organs in the thoracic cavity (right lung has 3 lobes; left lung has 2 lobes)
pleura: Serous membrane covering each lung and lining the thoracic cavity
diaphragm: Muscular partition that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity; aids in breathingmediastinum: Space between the lungs

The right lung is atelectatic and floating in bloody fluid filling the right chest cavity as a consequence of trauma.
This is a hemothorax.

Types of Diagnostic Procedures
radiography: x-ray images of internal organs using ionizing radiationnuclear medicine: scans using radioactive material to determine the functional capacity of an organultrasound: sonograms, or echograms, using high-frequency sound waves to create an image of body organs
33
Types of Diagnostic Procedures (cont’d)
computed tomography (CT scans): computerized images of body organs in slices, horizontallymagnetic resonance imaging (MRI scans): gives information about the body’s biochemistry by placing the patient in a magnetic field
34
Types of Diagnostic Procedures(cont’d)
endoscopy: endoscopes, which are lighted, flexible instruments, are used for visual examination of a hollow organ or body cavitylaboratory: diagnostic procedures performed on specimens such as blood, tissue, sputum, and urinepulmonary function tests: diagnostic tests performed to determine lung function

This radiograph demonstrates patchy infiltrates consistent with a bronchopneumonia from a bacterial infection. Typical organisms include
Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Hemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, among others.

This chest radiograph demonstrates a nodular pattern resulting from multiple metastases in the lung from a carcinoma. (The plate and screws in the cervical spine
repaired a pathologic fracture from metastasis).

Here is an example of diffuse alveolar damage in which the lung is diffusely firm and rubbery. Clinically, this is known as adult
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Diagrammatic view of the respiratory unit (respiratory bronchiole, alveolar ducts, alveolar
sacs, & alveoli).
51
Microscopically at high magnification, the loss of alveolar walls with emphysema is demonstrated. Remaining airspaces are dilated.
52
On cut section of the lung, the dilated airspaces with
emphysema are seen. Although there tends to be some scarring
with time because of superimposed infections, the
emphysematous process is one of loss of lung parenchyma, not
fibrosis.
53
This cast of the bronchial tree is formed of inspissated mucus and was coughed up by a patient during an asthmatic attack. The
outpouring of mucus from hypertrophied bronchial submucosalglands, the bronchoconstriction, and dehydration all contribute to the formation of mucus plugs that can block airways in asthmatic
patients.
54
Bronchiectasis is seen here. The repeated episodes of inflammation can result in scarring, which has resulted in
fibrous adhesions between the lobes. Fibrous pleural adhesions are common in persons who have had past episodes of inflammation of the lung that involve the
pleura. With extensive involvement, the pleural space may be obliterated.

At the left the alveoli are filled with a neutrophilic exudate that corresponds to the areas of consolidation seen grossly with the
bronchopneumonia. This contrasts with the aerated lung on the right of this photomicrograph.
