Artificial respiration Breathing and Cellular Respiration Breathing Cellular respiration Oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide is exhaled out of the lungs Breakdown of food using oxygen to produce energy which is used by cells to carry out cellular function No energy is produced during the process Energy is released in the form of ATP Takes place in respiratory organs Takes place in cells Physical process Biochemical process © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Types of Cellular Respiration Types of cellular respiration Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration In the case of aerobic respiration, the oxygen inhaled during breathing is utilised for the breakdown of food, while the carbon dioxide that is generated is exhaled during breathing. In the case of anaerobic respiration, the breakdown of food occurs in the absence of oxygen, and lactic acid or ethanol is produced. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Mechanism of Gaseous Exchange in Various Organisms  Sponges, coelenterates, flatworms etc. rely on the movement of water through them for gaseous exchange.  Gills are special vascularised structures used by most aquatic arthropods, molluscs and fishes for breathing.  Earthworms breathe through their moist cuticle.   Insects use a network of tracheal tubes to transport air throughout the body. Most terrestrial organisms such as reptiles, birds and mammals have lungs for gaseous exchange.  Amphibians can respire through their moist skin as well besides using lungs. E.g. – frog. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. Human Respiratory System © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.  Nasal passage Air enters the respiratory system through the nostrils.  Nasal cavity It then travels through the nasal passage. o The nasal passage is separated into two chambers by the nasal septum. o It is lined with hair, which filters the dust particles present in the air.  Presence of rich vascular supply allows the nose to change the temperature and the humidity of the inspired air. Nasopharynx  It helps to keep the air entering the nose from drying out the lungs and other parts of our respiratory system.  The nasal cavity is at the farther end of the nasal passage.  It leads to the nasopharynx. Human Respiratory System Trachea/ Windpipe    Bronchi   Bronchiole  Alveoli     © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. It is a straight tube extending up to the mid-thoracic cavity. It is surrounded by incomplete cartilaginous rings that provide support to the trachea and prevent it from collapsing. At its farther end, it divides into left and right bronchi, which are referred to as the primary bronchi. Bronchi divide into numerous branches, which again sub-divide further into bronchioles. These are the passages that carry the inhaled air from the trachea to the bronchioles. Bronchioles carry air to the millions of alveoli present in the lungs. Bronchioles eventually terminate into alveoli. Alveoli are small sac-like structures that swell when air enters them. Alveoli are in close contact with the blood capillaries. Hence, alveoli are sites where the gaseous exchange between blood and lungs occurs. Conducting and Respiratory Parts The human respiratory system can be divided into a conducting part and a respiratory part.  Conducting part o It extends from the external nostrils up to the bronchioles. o It conducts air in and out of the lungs. o It clears the air of foreign particles. o It humidifies the air and brings it to the body temperature before it reaches the lungs.  Respiratory part/ Exchange part o It includes alveoli and its ducts. o It is involved in the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Trachea Primary bronchi Conducting system Smaller bronchi Bronchioles Exchange surface Alveoli Process of Exchange of Gases in Body  Alveoli Veins bring carbon dioxide-rich blood from all over the body to the heart. o This carbon dioxide is released during the process of cellular respiration. C6H12O6 Heart Systemic veins Tissue © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Glucose + 6O2 Oxygen 6CO2 Carbon dioxide + 6H2O Water Energy + stored in ATP  The heart then pumps this CO2-rich blood to the capillaries, surrounding the alveoli.  The gaseous exchange occurs between the capillaries and the alveoli, where CO2 diffuses into the alveoli, and O2 from the alveoli diffuses into the capillaries. Process of Exchange of Gases in Body Flow of freshly oxygenated blood Flow of oxygendepleted blood A capillary network covers the surface of the alveolus to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.  Now, the oxygen-rich blood from the capillaries is carried to the heart, which pumps it throughout the body via arteries.  Meanwhile, the CO2-rich air is exhaled by the lungs.  Now, the cells of the body utilise the supplied oxygen to generate energy and release CO2 in the process.  Meanwhile, the lungs inhale the O2rich air and the cycle repeats itself. Location of the Lungs Pleural cavity Pericardial cavity Diaphragm Abdominal cavity Pelvic cavity © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Thoracic cavity  Lungs are located in the pleural cavity inside the thoracic cavity.  Lungs are surrounded by double layered pleural membranes.  The thoracic cavity is covered in the following ways: o Dorsally by the vertebral column o Ventrally by the sternum o Laterally by the ribs o On the lower side by the domeshaped diaphragm  Any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity reflects in the volume of the lungs. Abdominopelvic cavity Mechanism of Breathing    Breathing is a physical process that takes place in the lungs. It involves the inspiration of oxygen and the expiration of carbon dioxide. It does not release energy. Inspiration Muscle that contracts Diaphragm External intercostals © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. Spirometer Alveoli  Alveoli are the primary sites of exchange of gases.  They are tiny air sacs located at the distal end of the bronchial tree.  They are thin-walled, moist, and richly supplied with blood capillaries.  The moistness helps in the dissolution of the gases and facilitates easy exchange of the gases. Gases move across the alveolar membrane through diffusion. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Alveoli From pulmonary artery Capillary Fluid Layer Alveolar membrane Respiratory membrane Air CO2 O2 Respiratory membrane (Diffusion membrane) © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.  The surface of the exchange of gases is known as respiratory membrane (diffusion membrane).  The alveolar wall and the capillary wall, along with their basement membranes, form the respiratory membrane.  The gases have to cross this membrane in order to enter into the bloodstream in the blood capillaries. External Respiration   Exchange of air that takes place between the blood capillaries and alveoli. Diffusion of O2 occurs from alveoli to the blood due to partial pressure difference. Oxygenated blood (pO2 = 95 mm Hg) Deoxygenated blood (pO2 = 40 mm Hg) Alveoli pO2 = 104 mm Hg O2 in © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. Factors Affecting the Rate of Diffusion Solubility of gases Partial pressure © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.  A gas having a high solubility diffuses at a faster rate than a gas having a lower solubility.  The solubility of CO2 is 20–25 times higher than that of O2.  Partial pressure is the pressure contributed by an individual gas in a mixture of gases if it occupies the same volume on its own.  pO2- partial pressure of oxygen  pCO2- partial pressure of carbon dioxide  A gas always moves from a region of high partial pressure to a region of lower partial pressure. Factors Affecting the Rate of Diffusion Diameter of the respiratory membrane Diffusion of gases across the alveolar membrane © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.  The thinner the membrane involved in diffusion, the faster is the diffusion of gases.  The total thickness of the respiratory membrane is less than a millimetre.  The pO2 is higher in the alveoli than the deoxygenated blood.  So, there is diffusion of O2 from alveoli to the blood.  This turns the deoxygenated blood to oxygenated blood.  The blood that has higher concentration of oxygen is known as oxygenated blood.  The capillaries bring the deoxygenated blood to lungs, which has low oxygen concentration.  Due to this low concentration of oxygen, the partial pressure of oxygen within the capillaries will also be low. Internal Respiration Alveolar air pO2 = 104mm Hg Exchange of gases occurs between the blood and the tissues.  The pO2 of oxygenated blood is 95 mm Hg same as what it was when it left the lungs.  Now the pO2 of the tissues is much lower at 40 mmHg. So, the oxygen diffuses from the blood to the tissues.  The O2 is consumed and CO2 is released out from the tissues.  The pCO2 is higher in the tissues compared to the oxygenated blood so, the CO2 moves from tissues to the blood. Alveolus Pulmonary artery Pulmonary vein Systemic vein pO2 = 40 mm Hg Systemic artery pO2 = 95 mm Hg O2 © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.  Internal Respiration Alveolus Alveolar air pCO2 = 40 mm Hg  The carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the alveoli via external respiration. Systemic artery (carrying oxygenated blood from heart to tissues) Systemic vein (carrying deoxygenated blood from tissues to heart)  The addition of carbon dioxide along with the removal of oxygen makes the blood deoxygenated. So, the pCO2 changes from 40 to 45 mm Hg in the blood. Pulmonary vein Pulmonary artery pCO2 = 45 mm Hg  O2 pCO2 = 40 mm Hg The pCO2 of deoxygenated blood is 45 same as what it was when it left the tissues. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Transportation of Gases in Blood Transport of gases Oxygen Carbon dioxide Oxyhaemoglobin Carbaminohaemoglobin Dissolved form Dissolved form Dissolved form (3%) Carbamino haemoglobin (23%) Haemoglobin (97%) Bicarbonates (70%) © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Bicarbonates Dissolved form (7%) Transport of Oxygen Dissolved form  Oxygen is dissolved in the blood plasma.  The blood plasma, a component of blood, can also dissolve oxygen in it.  However, oxygen is not very soluble in blood, so only 3% of oxygen is transported in the dissolved form. Oxyhaemoglobin  Since the majority of oxygen cannot be transported in the dissolved form, our bodies have evolved another system to transport oxygen. i.e. as oxyhaemoglobin.  The red blood cells have a respiratory pigment, that is, haemoglobin.  Haemoglobin comprises globin and haem.  Globin is the protein molecule and haem is the red pigment that gives blood its red colour.  There are four protein chains and four haems.  Each haem has an iron atom at its centre. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Transport of Oxygen Oxyhaemoglobin  Haemoglobin has an affinity for oxygen.  It carries four molecules of oxygen.  The haem part of haemoglobin combines reversibly with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin.  Oxyhaemoglobin formation takes place in the alveoli.  In tissues, this reverses and the oxyhaemoglobin releases oxygen. Hb Free haemoglobin © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. + O2 In alveoli HbO2 In tissues Oxygen Oxyhaemoglobin Transport of Carbon Dioxide Carbaminohaemoglobin      Just like oxygen, four CO2 molecules can bind to the Hb molecule. However, they do not bind to the iron atom. Instead, they bind to the amine groups on the protein chains. The haemoglobin picks up CO2 from the cells and transports it as carbaminohaemglobin all the way from the tissues to the alveoli, which is an unstable molecule. CO2 is dropped at the alveoli, and O2 is picked up from the alveoli. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved.

Therefore, 7% of carbon dioxide dissolves in the blood plasma and is transported to the lungs. Bicarbonates      The largest fraction of carbon dioxide is converted into bicarbonate ions. When carbon dioxide diffuses into RBCs at the tissues, it combines with water, forming carbonic acid. Since carbonic acid is unstable, it quickly dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. Although, this reaction also occurs in plasma, it is a thousand times faster in RBCs because they contain the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase. This enzyme reversibly catalyses the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. The ratio of amount of oxygen combined with haemoglobin to the amount of oxygen that haemoglobin is capable of carrying gives the percentage saturation of haemoglobin.  The saturation percentage and the partial pressure of oxygen are represented in the form of a curve known as the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve.  It is also known as the oxygen dissociation curve, and is sigmoid or Sshaped. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Volumes (%)  Haemoglobin saturation (%) Saturation of Haemoglobin Pressure of oxygen in blood (PO2) (mm Hg) Factors Affecting Oxygen-Haemoglobin Dissociation Curve In alveoli: ○ There is high pO2, low pCO2, less H+, and less temperature. ○ This favours oxyhaemoglobin association.  In tissues: o There is low pO2, high pCO2, high H+, and high temperature which favours the dissociation of O2 from oxyhaemoglobin. o As the partial pressure of oxygen increases, the affinity of Hb for O2 also increases. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S.

Volumes (%)  Haemoglobin saturation (%) pO2, pCO2, H+ concentration and temperature Pressure of oxygen in blood (PO2) (mm Hg) Factors Affecting Oxygen-Haemoglobin Dissociation Curve CO2 concentration When there is increase in CO2 concentration in blood CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO3- Increased carbon dioxide in blood reacts with water to form carbonic acid, giving more hydrogen and bicarbonate ions. Higher H+ lowers the blood pH High H+ ions lower the blood pH and induces oxyhaemoglobin to give up more oxygen to the cells easily. O2 - Hb dissociation curve shifts right © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S.

It is an airborne disease and spreads by inhalation. It results in destruction of lung tissue which then gets replaced by fibrous connective tissue. Symptoms: o Coughing and chest pain o Loss of appetite o Chills and fever o Night sweats o Fatigue Emphysema      © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S. All rights reserved. Emphysema means shortness of breath. It is caused by smoking and inhalation of toxic gases and smoke. This condition results in o Loss of elasticity in lungs as elastic tissue is replaced by connective tissue. o Alveoli becoming weak and their walls break down. o As a result, lungs remain inflated, and expiration becomes difficult. Symptoms: o Inflammation of bronchioles and alveoli o Expiration becomes difficult Preventive measures: o No smoking o Use pollution masks Respiratory Disorders Occupational respiratory disorders  It is any lung condition that arises due to the role of the person at the workplace.  It occurs because of repeated exposure to certain toxins over a period of time such as gas fumes, dust, silica and asbestos.   Often seen in individuals working in mining, stone grinding and stone breaking industries. It results in o Fibrosis of upper lung and inflammation due to the damage to lung tissue. The lung tissue becomes scarred, thickened and stiff, making it difficult for the lungs to work properly.  Symptoms: o Difficulty in breathing  Protection masks can help in keeping the workers safe. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S.
