Study Notes

Gas Exchange

  • Oxygen enters the blood while carbon dioxide is expelled.

Regulation of Blood pH

  • Blood pH is influenced by changes in carbon dioxide levels.

Voice Production

  • Sound and speech result from air movement across vocal folds.

Olfaction

  • Smell is triggered by airborne molecules entering the nasal cavity.

Protection

  • The respiratory system protects against microorganisms by preventing entry and aiding in their removal.

Nervous vs Endocrine Systems

  • Nervous system utilizes neurotransmitters; endocrine system uses hormones for signaling.

Hypothalamus Functions

  • Does not stimulate hormone release from the posterior pituitary; it produces ADH and oxytocin, and regulates the anterior pituitary.

Antagonistic Hormones

  • Glucagon and insulin function as antagonists in regulating blood glucose levels.

Hormones Secreted by Adrenal Medulla

  • Releases epinephrine and norepinephrine in response to stress.

Hormones from Thyroid Gland

  • Secretes thyroxine and triiodothyronine, crucial for metabolism.

Pancreatic Hormones

  • Produces insulin and glucagon, regulating blood sugar levels.

Pineal Gland Function

  • Secretes melatonin, regulating sleep-wake cycles.

Parathyroid Gland Hormones

  • Releases parathyroid hormone, vital for calcium homeostasis.

Adrenal Cortex Hormones

  • Secretes various steroid hormones, important for metabolism and immune response.

Anterior Pituitary Hormones

  • Releases thyroid-stimulating hormone and growth hormone, influencing growth and metabolism.

Endocrine Histology

  • The pancreas has both endocrine (insulin, glucagon) and exocrine functions but not in the manner described in option B.

Surfactants

  • Act to reduce surface tension in the lungs, enhancing lung compliance.

Lung Compliance

  • Refers to how easily the lungs can be inflated.

Lung Volumes

  • Tidal Volume (TV): Air exchanged during quiet breathing.
  • Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Air forcefully inhaled after TV.
  • Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): Air forcefully exhaled after TV.
  • Residual Volume (RV): Air remaining in the lungs after maximum exhalation.
  • Inspiratory Capacity (IC): TV plus IRV.
  • Functional Residual Capacity (FRC): Air in lungs after tidal expiration.
  • Vital Capacity (VC): Total air exchanged (TV + IRV + ERV).
  • Total Lung Capacity (TLC): Total air in lungs (TV + IRV + ERV + RV).

Airflow Changes

  • Decreased radius reduces total airflow; addition of surfactant increases airflow.

Conducting vs Respiratory Zones

  • Conducting Zone: No gas exchange; ciliated for debris removal.
  • Respiratory Zone: Site of gas exchange; respiratory bronchioles lead to alveoli.

Rat Metabolic Rates

  • Normal rat shows highest baseline metabolic rate due to intact thyroid and pituitary glands.
  • Injection of thyroxine boosts metabolic rate and O2 consumption.

Thyroid Regulation

  • TSH increases metabolic activity by stimulating T3 and T4 secretion.
  • Proplthiouracil decreases metabolic rate by inhibiting thyroxine production.

ECG and Heart Waves

  • ECG (electrocardiogram) records heart's electrical events.
  • P wave: Atria depolarization.
  • QRS complex: Ventricular depolarization.
  • T wave: Ventricular repolarization.

Autonomic Nervous System Effects

  • SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System): Increases heart rate, causes vasoconstriction, and boosts metabolic rate.
  • PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System): Decreases heart rate, promotes vasodilation, and stimulates digestive functions.

Blood Circuits

  • Pulmonary Circuit: Transports blood to/from lungs.
  • Systemic Circuit: Transports blood to/from body.

Blood Vessels

  • Types: Arteries (carry blood away from heart), veins (return blood to heart), capillaries (exchange materials).

Coronary Circulation

  • Supplies blood and nutrients to heart muscle.

Blood Flow Regulation

  • Changing vessel radius significantly affects blood flow compared to viscosity.

Viscosity

  • Refers to the thickness of the blood, influencing its flow.

Extrasystole and Heart Rhythm

  • Compensatory pause resets the heart rhythm following an extrasystole.

Vagus Nerve Effects

  • Released acetylcholine slows down the heart rate.

Cardiovascular Agents

  • Atropine increases heart rate by blocking acetylcholine.
  • Epinephrine boosts heart rate as part of the "fight or flight" response.

Major Arteries and Supply Regions

  • Brachiocephalic artery: Supplies right arm and head/neck.
  • Celiac trunk: Supplies upper abdominal organs.
  • Renal artery: Supplies kidneys.
  • Axillary artery: Supplies axilla and pectoral girdle.

Veins and Drainage Regions

  • Renal vein: Drains kidneys.
  • Splenic vein: Drains spleen, stomach, pancreas into hepatic portal vein.
  • Internal jugular vein: Drains brain, face, and neck.
