Paola Rodriguez BIOS 255 Week 6 Respiratory System-Anatomy Learning Objectives: Describe the gross anatomical features of the respiratory tract. Trace the flow of air into and out of the lungs. Explain how Boyle’s law relates to the changing intrapleural and alveolar air pressures and volumes during respiration. Define various pulmonary volumes. Introduction: The respiratory tract carries air to and from the lungs. Air drawn in through the nose or mouth passes through the pharynx and larynx and continues through the trachea, bronchial tree, and the lungs. Inhalation relies on decreasing the pressure in the lungs below the atmospheric pressure to draw air in. Pressure in the lungs is decreased by increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity; The lungs move with the chest wall because the cavities which contain them are closed spaces. Each lung is protected by a double membrane called the pleural membrane. We can assess a person’s lung function by performing spirometry which allows us to measure pulmonary volumes. Don’t hold your breath, let’s go learn about this essential system! Assignment: Part 1 Complete the activities in Anatomy.TV Respiratory System: Introduction, Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract, Pulmonary Ventilation, Lung Volumes and Capacities. To access Anatomy.TV: Resources tab>Library>Library Resources-Database A- Z>Anatomy.TV>Titles: Choose Respiratory system>choose assigned sections You will then work through the material and activities by scrolling down on the right. This will allow you to see and work through all activities for that section. As you complete the lab activities, have the lab report ready to record data.

3. Label the following structures by indicating which letter they correspond to in this image of the larynx: thyroid cartilage. C cricoid cartilage. D epiglottis. A (1/2 point per identification; 1 ½ point total) B C D E A
4. Identify the following by indicating the letter that corresponds to the structure. (1/2 point per identification; 3 points total) Inferior lobe of the right lung. F Apex of the right lung. A Superior lobe of the right lung. B Middle lobe of the right lung. E Secondary (lobar) bronchi of the left lung. C Tertiary (segmental) bronchi of the left lung. D B. Pulmonary Ventilation 5. According to Boyle’s law, how are pressure and volume related, given a closed container? (1 point) If an ideal gas had a constant weight and a constant temperature, the pressure would be equal to the volume. But if the temperature and number of particles are the same, the volume won't be equal to the pressure. F E D C B A
6. a. What happens to the volume of the thoracic cavity when the diaphragm contracts/flattens? (1 point) When your diaphragm is contracting, your lung volume increases. This means the pressure inside your lungs will decrease and the air will flow in, which is what we call breathing. Your lung volume increases because your diaphragm is contracting and your intercostal muscle is contracting, which means your thoracic cavities are expanding. b. How does this volume change affect the pressure in the thoracic cavity, and the flow of air ? (1 point) When you inhale, your lungs get bigger because the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, which pushes more air into your lungs. The more air there is, the more pressure there is, which is based on Boyles Law. 7. Describe the role of surfactant in the lungs. (1 point) Surfactant helps reduce the stress on the surface of the lung. This is important because it helps keep the alveoli in place. At a constant stress, the smaller alveoli will hold more pressure than the bigger ones. C. Lung Volumes and Capacities 8. Define tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume . (2 points) The amount of air going into or out of your lungs during each breath is called the "tidal volume" and the "inspiratory reserve volume" is the extra air you breathe in when you breathe in more than the tidal volume. 9. Choose 4 of the blanks below to identify with the appropriate labels. (1/2 point per identification; 2 points total) A. Residual Volume B. Expiratory reserve volume C. Total lung capacity D. Vital capacity E. Functional residual capacity
