    Study Notes

    Cardiorespiratory System Overview

    • Summarize the structures of the cardiorespiratory system. Include respiratory system organs/structures (pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, oral cavity, trachea, bronchial tree, bronchioles, lungs, alveoli) and cardiovascular system organs/structures (heart, blood-fluid connective tissue, arteries, veins, capillaries).
    • Describe the anatomical location of the cardiorespiratory system. Include where the lungs and heart are located (thorax), associated tubes (extending to neck), location of heart in mediastinum, and lungs positioned in pleural cavity.
    • Describe the key functions of the cardiorespiratory system. Include conducting oxygen-rich air to alveoli, allowing gaseous exchange, and conducting carbon dioxide out of the body; olfaction, speech, and noise production.
    • Explain physiological considerations of how both the systems (respiratory and cardiovascular) work together. Include blood flow to lungs for oxygen exchange, flow to other organs, and return to the lungs. Include how veins are away from organs, and arteries towards organs.

    Functions of the Respiratory System

    • Conduct oxygen-rich air to the lungs' alveoli.
    • Enable gaseous exchange.
    • Conduct expired air containing carbon dioxide out of the body.
    • Olfaction (smelling)
    • Speech/noise production

    Cardiovascular System Functions

    • Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation
    • Transport nutrients, oxygen, immune substances, hormones, and chemicals to tissues and organs.
    • Carry away waste products (carbon dioxide).
    • Regulate blood pressure and supply of blood to tissues.
    • Regulate body temperature.

    Pulmonary Considerations of Cardiorespiratory System

    • Air flows into the lungs due to pressure differences (mainly due to negative pressure of the pleural cavity).
    • Blood reaches the lungs due to heart pumping.
    • Mammals have two pumps and two circulations, while amphibians have one pump and one circulation.
    • Two pumps (left and right sides of the heart) must pump equal volumes of blood for lung and body flow.

    Summary of Histology of Cardiorespiratory System

    • Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells (respiratory epithelium).
    • Epiglottis, vocal cords, and vestibular folds are lined with stratified squamous epithelium.
    • Trachea is comprised of respiratory epithelium, fibrocartilaginous layer of C-shaped cartilage, and outer adventitia.
    • Bronchi are similar to trachea but contain plaques of cartilage and a muscular layer.
    • Bronchioles are similar to bronchi but have Clara cells instead of goblet cells.
    • Alveoli are comprised of inner squamous epithelium (type I pneumocytes) and type II pneumocytes, with surrounding elastic tissue and endothelial cells (from capillaries).
    • Blood vessels have an internal lining of endothelial cells (epithelial tissue).
    • Capillary walls are thin, composed of a single layer of endothelial cells and a basement membrane.
    • Tunica adventitia is the supportive tissue layer.
    • Tunica media is the muscular layer..
    • Tunica intima is the endothelial cells with basement membrane, and connective tissue.

    Pathogens and the Respiratory Tract

    • Endogenous pathogens - animal's own flora (bacteria). These pathogens require predisposition for disease.
    • Exogenous pathogens - from another animal (obligate) or the environment. These pathogens can only reproduce inside a host
    • Viruses, bacteria (e.g., Mannheimia, Bordetella, Pasteurella, Chlamydia), and fungi (e.g., Aspergillus, Mucor) can cause respiratory infections.

    Public Health Implications of Respiratory Infections

    • Diseases associated with Bordetella bronchiseptica:
      • Pigs - Atrophic rhinitis
      • Dogs - Kennel cough
      • Cats - Feline Respiratory Disease Complex and Bronchopneumonia
    • Mycotic respiratory infections (Aspergillosis), often affects birds and mammals.
      • Avian aspergillosis commonly related to stress, unsanitary conditions, overcrowding, and malnutrition.

    Upper Respiratory Tract Structure and Function 1

    • Nasal cartilages determine the shape of the nostril (e.g., in brachycephalic breeds).
    • Alar cartilage is significant in relation to the false nostril in horses.
    • Meatuses are the spaces between turbinates and leads to the nasal cavity.

    Upper Respiratory Tract Structure and Function 2

    • Describe the bones of the hyoid apparatus and their anatomical location (stylohyoid, epihyoid, ceratohyoid, basihyoid, thyrohyoid).
    • Explain the function of the hyoid apparatus (attachment for tongue and larynx).
    • Describe the location and function of the guttural pouch.
    • Name and explain structures indenting the guttural pouch and their clinical significance (glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal nerves, sympathetic trunk, internal carotid artery, medial retropharyngeal lymph nodes, facial nerve, external carotid artery, maxillary vein).
    • Explain the larynx's location relative to surrounding structures (ventral and caudal to pharynx, cranial to trachea).
