    Study Notes

    Digestive System

    • HCl activates pepsinogen to pepsin and kills microbes
    • Pepsinogen is a precursor to pepsin
    • Gastrin stimulates acid secretion
    • Intrinsic factor is essential for B12 absorption

    Respiratory System

    • In emphysema, alveolar walls are damaged, reducing surface area for gas exchange
    • Internal respiration is the process of exchanging O2 and CO2 between the blood and tissues
    • The three large cartilages of the larynx are the Thyroid, Cricoid, and Epiglottis
    • Type I alveolar cells and Type II alveolar cells are found in alveoli
    • The respiratory membrane consists of alveolar epithelium, capillary endothelium, and basement membrane

    Pleura and Respiratory Movement

    • The visceral pleura covers the surface of the lungs
    • The parietal pleura lines the inside of the chest wall, covering the thoracic cavity
    • The negative pressure in the pleural space helps in lung expansion
    • Pleura functions include lubrication, protection, and pressure gradient creation
    • The primary muscles of quiet inhalation are the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles

    Gas Exchange and Transport

    • O2 moves from the alveoli into the blood during external respiration
    • O2 moves from the blood to the tissues during internal respiration
    • CO2 moves from the tissues to the blood during internal respiration
    • CO2 moves from the blood into the alveoli during external respiration
    • Oxygen is primarily transported bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells
    • Carbon dioxide is transported as bicarbonate ions in plasma, bound to hemoglobin, or dissolved in plasma

    Respiratory Control

    • Respiratory centers are located in the medulla oblongata and pons of the brainstem
    • The medullary respiratory center, specifically the pre-Bötzinger complex, initiates the basic respiratory rhythm
    • The pons respiratory centers modulate the rhythm generated by the medulla to smooth the respiratory pattern
    • Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the carotid and aortic bodies and respond to low O2, high CO2, and low pH
    • Central chemoreceptors are located in the medulla and respond to changes in CO2 concentration or pH changes in cerebrospinal fluid

    Respiratory Acidosis and Hyperventilation

    • Breathing becomes deeper and more rapid to expel CO2 and increase pH during respiratory acidosis
    • Hyperventilation is rapid or deep breathing leading to decreased CO2 levels
