Study Notes
Biology II - Session 1: Animal and Human Part
- The session was presented by Dr. Noura Abou Zeinab
- Email address: [email protected]
Respiratory Systems - Outline
- Gas Exchange Surfaces
- Breathing and Transport of Gases
- Respiration and Human Health
Gas Exchange Surfaces
- Respiration involves gas exchange between the body's cells and the environment.
- In terrestrial vertebrates, respiration includes: ventilation (breathing), external respiration (gas exchange between air and blood in lungs), and internal respiration (gas exchange between blood and tissue fluid).
- Effective gas exchange requires moist, thin surfaces with a large surface area relative to body size and vascularization.
- Respiratory pigments like hemoglobin facilitate oxygen delivery to cells.
Overview of Gas Exchange Surfaces
- Gases dissolve in water, but this process happens less efficiently than in air.
- Aquatic animals need to expend more energy for breathing than terrestrial animals due to water's higher density compared to air.
Gas Exchange Surfaces - Specific Examples
- Hydras and planarians: Small animals exchange gases directly with the environment. Larger aquatic animals often have gills.
- Gills of bony fish are finely divided vascularized structures that use a countercurrent exchange system to maximize oxygen transfer from water to blood.
- Arthropods (e.g., insects): Respiratory systems involve branched tracheae that deliver oxygen directly to cells. Oxygen enters through spiracles.
Respiratory Organs
- Different animals have various respiratory organs, including gills, tracheae, and lungs.
- Earthworms exchange gases through their moist skin and vascularized blood vessels.
- Diagrams illustrate variations in respiratory organs between different species.
Anatomy of Gills in Bony Fish
- Water passes over the gills in a direction opposite to blood flow. This maximizes oxygen transfer.
Lungs of Humans
- Air passes through the upper respiratory system, where it's filtered, warmed, and humidified.
- When air reaches the lungs, it is at body temperature and saturated with water.
- The trachea divides into two primary bronchi, which further branch into bronchioles ending in alveoli.
- Air moves into and out of lungs with changes in thoracic cavity pressure through diaphragm and rib cage movement.
Breathing and Transport of Gases - Ventilation
- All terrestrial vertebrates (except birds) utilize a tidal ventilation mechanism.
- Volume of the thoracic cavity and lungs increases with muscle contractions and movement of ribs to create negative pressure. This permits air to flow into the lungs during inhalation.
- Birds have a one-way ventilation mechanism where fresh air never mixes with used air and efficiently facilitates gas exchange.
Breathing and Transport of Gases - Human Modifications
- Adults typically have 12-20 breaths per minute.
- The respiratory center in the medulla oblongata of the brain controls breathing rhythm.
- The center stimulates the diaphragm and intercostal muscles for inhalation, and stops sending signals for expiration occurs.
Breathing and Transport of Gases - Gas Exchange and Transport
- Gas exchange is driven by partial pressure differences.
- Gases diffuse from high to low partial pressure areas.
Breathing and Transport of Gases - Transport of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
- External respiration involves oxygen binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin.
- Internal respiration involves oxyhemoglobin releasing oxygen into tissues.
- Most carbon dioxide is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ion.
Respiration and Human Health - Disorders of the Upper Respiratory Tract
- Colds are mild viral infections, characterized by sneezing, runny nose, and mild fever.
- Strep throat is an acute pharyngitis caused by bacteria (Streptococcus pyogenes), characterized by sore throat, high fever, and swollen tonsils.
Respiration and Human Health - Disorders of the Lower Respiratory Tract
- Choking occurs due to blockage of the trachea.
- Acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis are infections of primary and secondary bronchi with inflammation and mucus buildup
- Asthma involves inflammation of the airways with constricting airways.
Respiration and Human Health - Disorders Affecting the Lungs
- Pneumonia involves infection of the lungs with buildup of fluid.
- Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, resulting in lung damage.
- Pulmonary fibrosis results from the buildup of fibrous tissue in the lungs.
- Emphysema involves damage to alveoli, reducing the surface area for gas exchange.
- Lung cancer begins with thickening of cells in the airways.
- Cystic fibrosis involves mucus accumulation in the lungs, interfering with breathing.
Common Bronchial and Pulmonary Diseases
- Diagrams illustrate anatomical features and causes of different diseases.
- Various respiratory illnesses are visually presented in different diagrams.
Smoking and Lung Disorders
- Diagrams compare healthy lungs with lungs affected by smoking.
