Intro to the Human Respiratory System
Brainstorm With a small group of students, answer the questions on your handout.
You will have 5-10 minutes to think about these questions and answer them.
I. Purpose of Gas Exchange Obtain oxygen for cellular respiration (to make ATP, a form of energy) Get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration
What is the function of mucus and cilia?
These parts contain mucus, but no cilia:
Bronchioles
Alveoli—respiratory surface, where gas exchange takes place
Alveoli are surrounded by capillaries
Diffusion takes place between the alveoli and the blood vessels
Diffusion and the Role of Blood:
A. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and drops it off at body cells.
B. Blood picks up carbon dioxide at from body cells and drops it off in the lungs.
Diseases of Membrane Transport and the Respiratory System
OBJ 24/25
Cystic Fibrosis - youtube
Genetic disorder common in Caucasians ◦ recessive gene
Sodium pump in cells of the lungs don’t work (example of active transport!)◦ Sodium builds up, creating a hypertonic cell◦ Water osmoses into the cells from the mucus◦ Mucus becomes thick and difficult to move
What happens as a result?
Cystic Fibrosis – 9 second animation
OBJ 24
Asthma Severe allergic reaction Bronchioles go into spasms, constricting the air passages
Pneumonia Alveoli become filled with fluid◦ Prevents exchange of
gases
Caused by an infection
Smoking-related disorders Smoking:Causes cilia to stop moving (for 20 minutes)Increases amount of mucus in the air passagesDecreases the amount of oxygen carried by blood
Smoking Hot Facts (from NIH)
2004: 29.2% of the U.S. population 12 and older(70.3 million)used tobacco
Cigarettes contain formaldehyde, cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and nicotine
Carbon Monoxide binds to hemoglobin (oxygen has to compete with it)
Nicotine stimulates release of epinephrine-- glucose raised in blood, gives “kick”
Quitting is difficult: withdrawal includes impaired language comprehension, increased irritability
Smoking Slides – Web MDSmoking affects how your appearance and odor . . . Age spots are blotches of darker skin color that are common on the face and hands. While anyone can develop these spots from spending too much time in the sun, research suggests smokers are more susceptible.In this image, the twin on the right spent decades smoking and sunbathing, while her sister did not.
Emphysema - youtube Primarily caused by smoking Lungs lose elasticity (difficult to exhale) Alveoli become damaged Lose surface area for gas exchange
Why is this associated withheart problems?
OBJ 24
OBJ 24
Bronchitis Linings of the bronchial tubes become irritated and swollen.◦ May clog with mucus
Severe coughing and difficulty breathing
Caused by an infection or by pollutants
Lung Cancer Tumors form in the lungs
What chemicals are in cigarette smoke? What do these chemicals do?
What are carcinogens? Are there carcinogens in cigarette smoke? Name them.
How much does a smoker spend per year on cigarettes?
How are lungs affected by cigarettes?
How are infants born to smoking mothers affected?
What is second hand smoke?
What is third hand smoke?
What diseases are smokers more likely to have? Why?
Are cigarettes addictive? What chemicals make them habit forming?
What happens to the body when you smoke?

Breathing Air vs. WaterAir
210 mL O2/L air
Lighter
Dry! – It needs to be dissolved in water
◦ May lose water through evaporation
◦ How can we fix that?
Water
5-10 mL O2/L water
Heavier
Already dissolved in water (like your cells)
