pontine respiratory group
In Pons
sending input to DRG
Helps to accomodate : exercising, speakings
mechanoreceptors
slowly adapting receptors -Hering Breuer reflex
rapidly adapting receptors
found in larger airway epithelium; respond to noxious gases, cold air, inhaled particles
Peripheral chemoreceptors
carotid sinus and aortic arch
-respond to changes in arterial blood
stimulated by :
central chemoreceptors
medulla oblongata (IN CNS)
-respond to changes in brain extracellular or Cerebrospinal fluid
stimulated by:
-increased brain PCO2 generating brain H+
temporarily stop breathing under voluntary control
= Apnea
voluntary actions
come from cerebral or motor cortex of brain
tidal volume
amount of air inhaled or exhaled in one breath
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
amount of air in excess of tidal inspiration that can be inhaled with maximum effort
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
amount of air in excess of tidal expiration that can be exhaled with maximum effort
residual volume (RV)
amount of air remaining in lungs after maximum expiration
-keeps alveoli inflated between breaths and mixes with fresh air on next inspiration
vital capacity
amount of air that can be exhaled with maximum effort after maximum inspiration
inspiratory capacity
maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal expiration
functional residual capacity (FRC)
amount of air remaining in lungs after a normal tidal expiration
total lung capacity
maximum amount of air lungs can contain
forced vital capacity (FVC)
volume of air expired forcefully after maximum inspiration
forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1)
volume of air expired forcefully in the 1st scond of FVC
FEV1/ FVC
percentage of total FVC expired in 1st second
obstructive lung disease
hard to exhale all the air in lungs
-low FEV percentage
restrictive lung disease
difficulty fully inspiring air into lungs
-higher FEV percentage or same as in normal
ventilation
combine tidal volume (depth of breathing) and breathing frequency (rate of breathing)
during increased breathing (exercise)
tidal volume increases (depth)
inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume get smaller
residual volume remains the same
vital capacity remains the same
hyperpnea
increased ventilation in response to metabolic needs of exercise
changes : pre-exercising (resting)/ anticipatory increase/ exercise rapid increase/ exercise gradual increase/ exercise steady state/ recovery rapid decrease/ recovery slow decrease/ post-exercising (resting)
