move

Lung mechanics during breathing work is done to move around the lungs
air through the airways

Слайд 3

Lungs and thorax

form a mechanical system
lungs tend to collapse
and are held at

Lungs and thorax form a mechanical system lungs tend to collapse and
larger volume by
the pleural seal

Слайд 4

Pleural fluid

a thin layer of fluid
between visceral and parietal pleura
ensures that lungs

Pleural fluid a thin layer of fluid between visceral and parietal pleura
fill thoracic cavity
and change volume as thorax does

Слайд 5

Pneumothorax

if the integrity of the pleural seal is broken
lungs will tend to

Pneumothorax if the integrity of the pleural seal is broken lungs will tend to collapse
collapse

Слайд 6

Equilibrium of forces

lungs pull in and up
thoracic cage pulls out
passive stretch of

Equilibrium of forces lungs pull in and up thoracic cage pulls out
diaphragm pulls down

Слайд 7

At the resting expiratory level

all forces in balance
like a set of springs
if

At the resting expiratory level all forces in balance like a set
disturbed will spring back to
the resting expiratory level

Слайд 8

Breathing in

from resting expiratory level
is active
mainly by contraction of diaphragm
and intercostals

Breathing in from resting expiratory level is active mainly by contraction of diaphragm and intercostals

Слайд 9

Breathing out

to resting expiratory level
is passive
just stop breathing in

Breathing out to resting expiratory level is passive just stop breathing in

Слайд 10

In quiet breathing

inspiration is active
expiration is passive

In quiet breathing inspiration is active expiration is passive

Слайд 11

Forced expiration

breathing out beyond resting expiratory level
requires force
exerted by abdominal muscles
then inspiration

Forced expiration breathing out beyond resting expiratory level requires force exerted by
to resting expiratory level is passive

Слайд 12

Work of breathing

in quiet breathing
most effort required to stretch the lungs
if
diaphragm cannot

Work of breathing in quiet breathing most effort required to stretch the
easily move into abdomen
pregnancy
obesity
corsets

Слайд 13

Lung compliance

the stretchiness of the lungs is known as compliance
volume change per

Lung compliance the stretchiness of the lungs is known as compliance volume
unit pressure change
higher compliance means easier to stretch

Слайд 14

Elastic properties of the lungs

airways have elastic walls
but elastic tissue cannot explain

Elastic properties of the lungs airways have elastic walls but elastic tissue
how stiff the lungs are
compliance reduced by surface tension of lining fluid

Слайд 15

Surface tension

interactions between molecules at surface of a liquid
makes the surface resist

Surface tension interactions between molecules at surface of a liquid makes the
stretching
the higher the surface tension the harder the lungs are to stretch

Слайд 16

Surface tension in the lungs

at low lung volumes much less than expected
if

Surface tension in the lungs at low lung volumes much less than
lungs lined with saline
something is reducing surface tension

Слайд 17

Detergents

reduce surface tension by disrupting interactions between surface molecules
lung has a mixture

Detergents reduce surface tension by disrupting interactions between surface molecules lung has
of detergents
surfactant
produced by type 2 alveolar cells

Слайд 18

Surfactant

reduces surface tension when lungs are deflated
but not when fully inflated
so little

Surfactant reduces surface tension when lungs are deflated but not when fully
breaths are easy
big breaths are hard

Слайд 19

Bubbles

formed when a film of fluid surround gas
film shrinks to compress gas
until

Bubbles formed when a film of fluid surround gas film shrinks to
eventually
equilibrium between tension and pressure

Слайд 20

Laplace’s law

pressure = 2 x surface tension/radius
big bubbles have low pressure
little bubbles

Laplace’s law pressure = 2 x surface tension/radius big bubbles have low
have high pressure

Слайд 21

Law of bubbles

if a big bubble is connected to a small bubble
air

Law of bubbles if a big bubble is connected to a small
will flow from high pressure to low
small bubble collapses into big
‘big bubbles eat little bubbles’

Слайд 22

Bubbles in the lung

alveoli form an interconnecting set of bubbles
if Laplace’s law

Bubbles in the lung alveoli form an interconnecting set of bubbles if
applied
big alveoli would eat little ones
and the lungs become a physical impossibility

Слайд 23

Surfactant

as alveoli get bigger
surface tension in their walls increases because surfactant is

Surfactant as alveoli get bigger surface tension in their walls increases because
less effective
so pressure stays high
and stops them eating little alveoli

Слайд 24

Respiratory Distress Syndrome

babies born prematurely
have too little surfactant
lungs very stiff
few, large alveoli
breathing

Respiratory Distress Syndrome babies born prematurely have too little surfactant lungs very
and gas exchange compromised

Слайд 25

Moving air through airways

remember Poiseulles law
small tubes have high flow resistance
many airways

Moving air through airways remember Poiseulles law small tubes have high flow
very small
so individual resistance high
but

Слайд 26

Over the whole tree of airways

at each branch
the increase in the number

Over the whole tree of airways at each branch the increase in
of airways
in parallel
compensates for the increase in their resistance

Слайд 27

Airway resistance

at normal lung volumes in normal lungs
highest resistance in the trachea
lowest

Airway resistance at normal lung volumes in normal lungs highest resistance in
in the small airways
so breathing is easy

Слайд 28

Forced expiration

when the lung is compressed
small airways are narrowed
resistance increases dramatically
and air

Forced expiration when the lung is compressed small airways are narrowed resistance
is trapped
in the alveoli

Слайд 29

Obstructive airway disease

if the small airways
are narrowed by disease
asthma
chronic bronchitis
resistance increases much

Obstructive airway disease if the small airways are narrowed by disease asthma
earlier in expiration
breathing out can become very difficult
