Physiologie musculaire

Physiologie respiratoire

• Respiration encompasses the mechanics of breathing, regulation, and gas exchange.
• The respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and associated structures, facilitates this process.

Mécanique De La Respiration

• Breathing is a cyclical process involving inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation).
• Inspiration: The diaphragm contracts, expanding the thoracic cavity, and decreasing intrapulmonary pressure, allowing air to flow in. External intercostal muscles also contribute.
• Expiration: The diaphragm relaxes, reducing thoracic volume and increasing intrapulmonary pressure, forcing air out. Internal intercostal muscles may aid in forced expiration.
• Lung compliance and elasticity are crucial factors in breathing efficiency. Reduced compliance can lead to increased effort.
• Airway resistance is influenced by factors such as bronchiole diameter and mucus, impacting airflow. Constriction or obstruction can impede breathing
• Lung recoil is the elastic tendency of the lungs to return to their initial size after stretching.

Régulation De La Respiration

• Respiration is primarily regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem (medulla oblongata and pons).
• Chemoreceptors (sensitive to O2, CO2, and pH) in the medulla, carotid bodies, and aortic bodies detect changes and adjust breathing rate and depth accordingly.
• Increased CO2 levels trigger a faster respiratory rate, aiding in eliminating excess CO2 from the blood.
• O2 levels, when dangerously low, also stimulate an increase in breathing rate.
• Other factors, like emotions (anxiety, fear), and pain, can influence breathing rate and depth.
• The respiratory center integrates these inputs, and adjusts the breathing pattern to maintain homeostasis.

Échanges Gazeux

• Gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) occurs across the respiratory membrane in the alveoli.
• Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the pulmonary capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin.
• Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
• Partial pressures drive this diffusion, with oxygen being higher in the alveoli and carbon dioxide being higher in the venous blood.
• Hemoglobin plays a crucial role in oxygen transport, binding to it reversibly.
• Efficient gas exchange requires adequate surface area (large alveolar sacs) and thin membranes for diffusion.

Anatomie Du Système Respiratoire

• The respiratory system involves the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
• The nose warms, filters, and humidifies inhaled air.
• The larynx contains the vocal cords and is crucial for speech production.
• The trachea and bronchi transport air to and from the lungs.
• The bronchioles are progressively smaller airways, ending in the alveoli.
• Alveoli are the primary sites for gas exchange.
• The lungs are enclosed within the pleural membranes, which facilitate lung expansion and contraction.
• The diaphragm is the primary muscle responsible for lung movement.
