Study Notes

Neural Controls of Respiration

  • Breathing patterns are governed by regulatory mechanisms.

Arterial pH Influence

  • Respiratory rate is affected based on acidity levels.

Partial Pressure of Oxygen

  • Oxygen availability for respiration is determined.

Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide

  • Breathing is regulated based on CO2 levels.

Lung Reflexes

  • Automatic responses to lung irritants or changes occur.

Volition in Respiration

  • Conscious control exists over breathing patterns.

Emotions Affecting Respiration

  • Breathing rate is altered by stress or excitement.

Hyperpnea

  • Breathing depth increases during exercise.

Hyperventilation

  • Rapid breathing leads to decreased CO2 levels.

Acclimatization to Altitude

  • Physiological adjustments occur due to reduced oxygen levels.

Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases

  • Airflow obstruction is caused by conditions such as asthma.

Restrictive Pulmonary Diseases

  • Lung expansion is limited by conditions such as fibrosis.

Chronic Bronchitis

  • Inflammation of bronchial tubes causes mucus production.

Emphysema

  • Destruction of alveoli leads to reduced gas exchange.

Asthma

  • Airway inflammation causes wheezing and breathlessness.
