00:03 All right, y'all. Um Today got a lot of ground to

00:06 We're gonna be trying to play a bit of catch up. Uh When

00:09 left on Thursday, it was right. Uh We, we were

00:14 about, we were talking about uh in the capillaries, we have fluid

00:18 leaves, the capillaries joins up and with the interstitial fluid and then rejoins

00:25 with, with the fluid of the with the plasma. All right.

00:28 in this process, about 20 liters moved, but of those 20 liters

00:33 about a liter of that is still in the interstitial space. And if

00:38 can imagine if your blood is about liters, roughly, it wouldn't take

00:42 long before your blood would turn into and it would move. So,

00:47 there needs to be a mechanism to that fluid back to uh the,

00:53 capillaries into the bloodstream. So, purpose of the or the structure that

00:57 gonna look at here is the All right. So the lymphatics are

01:01 with uh the cardiovascular because of that reason. This is the point where

01:06 returns back. But it has other which we'll just kind of point out

01:09 of in a superficial way to hey, this is also going

01:13 But what we're looking at here is looking at the structure of the

01:16 So it's this, it's this network vessels that begin with what are called

01:21 ended capillaries. All right. These the initial lymphatics. So a blunt

01:26 capillary would be like my finger, finger is blunt. Thank you.

01:31 what we're looking for. That's where starts. All right. And what's

01:35 about these capillaries is that their structure different. So remember when we

01:38 when we were describing the endothelium of , we said it was kind of

01:41 this. So there's like a point contact and there's a type, a

01:45 type junction, remember that. So kind of like this. This would

01:48 a better way to see that, . So the cells are aligned like

01:52 . But in the initial emphatic, not like that. Instead, the

01:57 have uh these endothelial cells that overlap other like shingles. All right.

02:03 it serves two purposes. First, way we drive fluid into the initial

02:08 is simply by the pressure in the fluid. All right. And so

02:11 can imagine out here this is the space, right? And so that

02:16 space, if I have pressure press the one, right, what

02:22 it opens up fluid can flow and it again. So everyone can see

02:26 , you see the saw that over . Ok. So what we have

02:30 is we have a valve system that created, right? So just simply

02:34 pressure outside that lymphatic vessel allows for fluid to drive it. But here's

02:38 cool thing when the pressure inside the lymphatic gets big, look what

02:44 it can't open. And so we that fluid inside that initial lymphatic.

02:48 so now that pressure inside the additional drives the fluid forward in the lymphatic

02:54 . And so those initial capillaries which embedded in the, in the capillaries

02:59 the blood or the vasculature, they're in the same location. So

03:02 that fluid leaking out immediately goes back that into that space. All

03:08 then the initial lymphatics turn into larger . These are the collecting lymphatics.

03:12 very similar to the small veins. actually have one way valves. So

03:15 fluid flows in one direction towards the instead of away from the heart.

03:20 then that final level of lymphatic is going to be the large lymph

03:24 These drain into the right and left vein respectively. And it's actually kind

03:29 weird when you do the anatomy, learn that the one on the right

03:33 only drains like the upper right arm this portion of the thoracic cavity.

03:38 then the left one is responsible for rest of your body, you don't

03:42 to know that. It's just weird when you see that. All

03:45 So again, what I want to here is I want to emphasize,

03:48 want to emphasize flow. All So pressure is driving the flu the

03:55 . So if the pressure is greater here, it opens up fluid flows

03:59 when the pressure becomes greater on the , it closes that, that pseudo

04:04 , that space. So pressure now driving fluid away from the initial lymphatic

04:09 the collecting lymphatic, ultimately to the uh lymphatics through those uh those um

04:14 valves. And because this is fluid stuff in it, the stuff in

04:20 fluid follows the fluid. All So what do we catch there?

04:26 , if there are escaped proteins from plasma, the escaped proteins get

04:30 If you skin your knee and bacteria into that space and now are creepy

04:35 around your body, they're going to with the fluid. That's the interstitial

04:40 and they'll get caught up in the lymphatics and they'll think it's like a

04:44 little river ride like. All Yeah. Here we are, we're

04:46 going to move and go with the and they move along and so we

04:50 trap debris and plasma proteins and all of stuff in the initial lymphatics and

04:56 directing it towards the heart. But there's more to the lymphatics than just

05:02 fluid, it's also a surveillance uh or organ that is responsible for,

05:08 plays a role in defense against All right now, just to point

05:15 there's no pump, this is all , just like the flow in and

05:18 of the capillaries is all passive, ? What drove fluid out of the

05:23 , capillary pressure? What drove fluid the capillaries, interstitial fluid pressure and

05:30 change between those two spots. That's we were talking about on Thursday.

05:34 right. So just like your there's some extra help. So you'll

05:42 uh vasomotion by the nearby arteries. , when the arteries are expanding and

05:46 , they're pushing up against the lymphatics helps to push stuff. Um skeletal

05:50 contraction, there's also some smooth muscle uh activity as well. That's kind

05:55 just massaging, but it's not actually . It's just just generic, smooth

06:01 . So this is ultimately what the do. So it accounts for that

06:07 or two. Well, I have 2 to 4 liters per day,

06:10 books, different things. So I your book talks about there being about

06:13 2 to 4 liter uh loss of . So it's just taking that fluid

06:17 you lost into your interstitial space and it back into circulation. So that's

06:23 one thing that it does. We spend a lot of time. In

06:27 , we spend no time talking about immune system, but you're familiar with

06:31 nodes? Have you ever been sick said my glands are swollen, like

06:33 glands are swollen. Have you ever that? Right. Those are lymph

06:37 , all right. And they sit this path along the pathway of the

06:42 lymphatics. And so what happens is as the fluid flows, it flows

06:46 a lymph node and inside the lymph are your immune cells and your immune

06:50 are sitting there surveilling everything that passes . So when you're sick, what

06:55 is you typically your B cells start really, really quickly so that you

06:58 create an army of cells to fight . So what's gonna happen to

07:02 Lymph node gets big and so that's going on. That's why they

07:07 my glands are swollen. Those aren't salivary glands. Those are your lymph

07:11 . All right, fats have to transported through the lymphatics. When you

07:16 fats, they're packaged with other And so they cannot be transported across

07:22 cell membrane like glucose can. So get packaged up and put into vesicles

07:27 then they get released out in the space. And then those get picked

07:31 through the initial lymphatics in the digestive and then are circulated through your

07:36 We call those lymphatics around the digestive , the lacteals, lacteals because the

07:44 in those is white, looks like . Why would it be white?

07:49 color's fat? Fat is white? why it's not actually milk. It's

07:53 white because there's fat that's in All right. And then of

07:57 I mentioned also the last thing which proteins that escape out through the

08:02 For whatever reason, if they over or whatever, this is the way

08:05 you can turn plasma proteins back to the blood back to the plasma.

08:12 it has multiple functions and this is the generic list. So that was

08:20 wrap up lymphatics. And, and last thing I want to talk about

08:23 has to do with the cardiovascular If you can just stop me,

08:27 there's ever a question, just stop because I'm going fast today. You

08:31 to see me pre-covid. All I talk really fast. All

08:37 So the last thing has to do how do we accomplish arterial resistance?

08:41 what is the things that creates arterial ? So, arterial remember is it's

08:45 bitsy tiny arteries and so it can done locally or we can use sympathetic

08:51 , which we already kind of talked a little bit or we have hormones

08:54 can have this influence. And so we talk about local control, what

08:57 really doing is basically saying, there's a metabolic need and the cells

09:01 are in that area are going to the arterials whether to dilate or constrict

09:06 upon that need. All right. there is two different aspects that are

09:10 to play a role in this, is both going to be the Perrin

09:12 . So, signaling molecules as well myogenic controls, which we'll go into

09:16 little bit of detail here in just second. Sympathetic is simply just neural

09:21 to make sure blood's going where it to go. Lastly, it is

09:24 be the hormones. So we're gonna about the catecholamines. We'll also talk

09:27 little bit about uh how we're regulating through the kidney. So it's kind

09:31 our introduction to the kidney and blood . But when we come back to

09:35 kidney, we're going to spend more talking about the specifics of those particular

09:42 . So there's a lot of words here and it looks very, very

09:44 . It's not so hard. in terms of local control, we

09:48 active hyperemia, active hyperemia, just says when I lack oxygen, I

09:53 oxygen. So vasodilate. So how I know I need oxygen?

09:58 measuring actual oxygen is a really bad . What you want to do is

10:02 want to measure metabolic activity of the . So how do you know your

10:05 are being metabolically active? Do they co2? So we're looking for things

10:12 are a result of an increase in activity. So we're going to be

10:16 carbon dioxide levels. We're gonna be at ph we're gonna be looking at

10:19 and these all have an effect on , our basically statements of,

10:24 we are going through increased metabolic meaning we're burning through oxygen and so

10:30 need more oxygen delivered so we can doing our activity. So notice it's

10:34 the front end, it's the back that you're measuring. And that's something

10:37 should just go right now. Just of put in your brain because we're

10:40 be dealing with this over and over over again. All right. So

10:44 gonna happen is, is these things gonna be signals from the cell to

10:49 , hey, let's dilate reactive hyperemia a little more interesting. Um I

10:54 to be able to do this a more fun. Um I don't have

10:58 good in here to do this Um, let me see. I'm

11:03 see if I actually have a rubber . Go into the Mary Poppins

11:06 We'll find out. Nope. No band you don't need to get.

11:16 , do you have a rubber Was that what you're reaching? Reaching

11:19 ? If you don't have one? OK. I'll, I'll just,

11:22 just steal this real quick. Uh oh yeah, that'll be great.

11:26 watch my finger fall, fall We're gonna, we're gonna watch my

11:30 follow up. This is really OK. Is this allowed to

11:35 OK. All right. I'm just make sure OK. Ever did this

11:41 you're a kid? Take like a band, put it on there.

11:44 right. I'm gonna go ahead and my finger while I'm talking. So

11:47 can imagine. I got a whole of cells that are going on that

11:49 in here that are in desperate need oxygen. Right. I'm sitting here

11:53 my fingers so the muscles are working hard. They're burning through their oxygen

11:57 up that carbon dioxide. But what I done is I've occluded the flow

12:00 blood by wrapping this rubber band Right. I didn't do it very

12:04 this time. Normally I can get nice and purple but not like that

12:08 , like like more of a maroon . All right. And so what

12:12 doing is those cells are now starting get a little desperate and they start

12:15 out that signal. Hey, look all this carbon dioxide we've made,

12:18 need oxygen. So please will you the blood vessels are going?

12:22 Ok, I'm dilating but no blood's . Is it? So what's happening

12:28 , is now the cells are gonna more and more desperate and they start

12:31 out stronger and stronger signals. And like telling the blood vessels,

12:34 please, please, we are in need and they keep vasodilating, vasodilating

12:39 does not come. And you can the cells are gonna start getting really

12:42 and they're gonna start dying soon. , not soon, like maybe in

12:46 hours. But you know, just in terms of like how that cell

12:51 there is blood still getting in But you can kind of see,

12:53 mean, my finger is kind of purple, right? Used to make

12:56 really nervous when I did this. guys don't seem particularly concerned just

13:02 Thank you for considering my welfare. right, but what will happen

13:06 is over time, you know, keep dilating, keep dialing, nothing's

13:10 . And then eventually what will happen I'll get my relief. Thank you

13:14 much. Uh See, look at , you know, for those who

13:19 interested, see, I was, was o including the flow of

13:22 right? See, look at Isn't that cool? Right? And

13:26 all of a sudden we got blood in, they got all the blood

13:29 it needs, all the oxygen needs the glucose it needs. And so

13:32 happening? Is it like? we got everything. So we're gonna

13:35 ahead and just relax. No, blood vessels are gonna remain open because

13:40 do not know when blood is gonna flowing again. In other words,

13:44 are reacting to uh that um that that they've received or sorry, you

13:52 that it's basically, hey, we're . We don't know when it's gonna

13:55 . So we're just gonna overwash, gonna keep flowing in blood and we're

13:59 keep this dilated until we're 100% certain happy. So it's not just

14:05 a simple. Oh OK. You what you needed. Now, we're

14:08 move on to the next section, maintaining it. It's gonna be like

14:11 for a little while. All Last. Yeah. Um, it's

14:17 , it's gonna be depend upon the and again, it's, it's

14:20 it's, the difference is in seconds minutes. How about that?

14:24 So, like when, when you're with active hyperemia, that would be

14:29 in seconds or milliseconds, whereas reactive be seconds to minutes. Like,

14:35 , we're just gonna allow this area wash over in, in, in

14:39 so that the cells can get exactly they need. We can make sure

14:42 everyone is caught up and is completely in. Last is a myogenic

14:48 And simply what this says is, , um we're gonna make uh sure

14:53 the blood is flowing in a more less constant fashion despite normal changes.

14:58 you've heard of, of uh for , um I'm now blanking on the

15:05 uh the Hypo Hypo osmotic pressure, ? When you sit down and you

15:10 up and the blood pressure drops, not dropping, right? Blood pressure

15:14 not dropping, your blood pressure is same. It just hasn't risen to

15:17 your need when you stand up. right. So that's an example of

15:22 activity is that the blood vessels go there's a drop in pressure or,

15:28 the the amount of pressure inside this should be this, but instead it's

15:32 . So what we're gonna do is going to increase or decrease pressure to

15:37 what the body is supposed to be . All right. So, um

15:43 will be vasoconstriction or vasodilation. if the blood vessels have higher pressure

15:48 them, they're gonna start feeling that . So what are they gonna wanna

15:53 ? They want to relax to reduce pressure, right. Oh The pressures

15:57 inside this vessel. I'm no longer the same pressure that I want to

16:01 . So what do I wanna I wanna constrict. So that would

16:04 auto regulation. They are responding to pressure that they're receiving in that vessel

16:10 than being told whether or not to or decrease their pressure. Yeah.

16:20 an inclusion would be to literally clamp close, not through normal means the

16:25 of blood, right? So like I did there is I wrapped it

16:29 and, and I prevented blood flowing the end of my finger,

16:33 Think about the single mammon oer. you see how I said that without

16:36 about it, if I think about , I'm not gonna be able to

16:39 it ever again. All right. that was the same thing. What

16:41 we do is we occ include the of blood through that artery and then

16:45 relax it. So that would that's what the occlusion is. Another

16:48 is you could put a, you , like a bolus in it.

16:51 that's what a stroke would be, be an occlusion. So, just

16:55 , uh, i impeding the flow blood in an unnatural way. All

17:00 . Now, there are the local . What do we have here?

17:03 Nitric oxide. It's a vasodilator, . It's released by the endothelium is

17:08 vasoconstrictor. All right. That's all gonna need to know if you have

17:12 know these at all is just which the dilator, which one's the

17:16 All right. So these are released the endothelial cells in response to.

17:21 you'd release nitric oxide in response to so that you get vasodilation in

17:27 you would uh what you do is release in in response to a dilated

17:32 that needs to produce more pressure. also has an effect. We mentioned

17:37 already that's a by product of metabolic . And um and sheer force

17:43 that's basically the pressure against the walls the cell, autonomic control. We've

17:49 about this already. I just, am going to point this out.

17:54 again, we are dealing primarily with . There's uh for the most part

17:59 , I think there's like one system has parasympathetic, but everywhere else,

18:02 all sympathetically controlled. So if I sympathetic activity, I'm going to increase

18:09 . If I decrease sympathetic activity, gonna uh cause vasodilation. So there

18:14 a tonic level of stimulation and that's this is trying to show you up

18:18 at the top that's the tonic So it's always firing at a specific

18:23 . And what I do if I rate, I'm getting the vaso

18:26 If I decrease it, I'm getting . All right. Um S I'm

18:39 ignore the actual uh uh types a , alpha one so on and so

18:45 in terms of arterial resistance when it to hormonal control. Again, these

18:50 the catecholamines, epi and nor epi generally speaking, uh alpha ones which

18:55 everywhere, these are gonna be causing . Beta two's cause dilation.

19:01 this is why I'm trying to avoid because this becomes a little confusing.

19:05 right, when my heart beats blood flows faster, right? Why

19:11 blood flow faster? Well, the is beating more frequently. But the

19:15 thing that I'm doing is I'm constricting blood vessel, I'm constricting the

19:19 When you think of constriction, what you think of? What's, what

19:22 the word that would go with Flow resistance or pressure resistance is what

19:29 right. So if I constrict, gonna increase resistance, right? But

19:34 , I'm increasing resistance, but I'm increasing the flow rate. Blood is

19:39 quickly through those tissues to get to they need to go. Now,

19:43 the weird part in skeletal muscle. where you'll see beta twos,

19:48 So generally everywhere you're going to have alpha receptors that are constricting to increase

19:54 speed at which the blood is getting a place and then what happens is

19:58 get into those tissues, like the and they dilate. So what would

20:03 to the flow rate is decreasing? . So you can imagine it's like

20:09 to get the blood to where it to go and then it's slowing down

20:12 that it can go through exchange. then as you get back out of

20:16 capillaries again, constriction get right back the heart, get pumped back

20:20 slow down again. All right. you can see here that when it

20:28 to the catecholamines, that some catecholamine the catecholamine will act differently in different

20:35 is what I'm trying to get at right. They accomplish the right goal

20:40 . I'm speeding things up through but then I'm slowing things down to

20:44 so I can get exchange. That's weird thing. So it's not like

20:48 everywhere. All right, you do dilation. The two hormones I want

20:55 to be interested in right now. vas suppressant also known as anti diuretic

20:58 or a DH. Uh The way can think about this is antidiuresis anti

21:04 against diuresis is peeing. So it's peeing hormone now, is it making

21:11 not pee? No, what it's is it's not allowing you to make

21:17 . All right. And so the that you would normally pee out right

21:21 form urine with stays in the So you be are creating a

21:27 uh you're always creating urine at a rate. But how much water you

21:31 in that urine is gonna be dependent the presence of a DH. All

21:35 . So here, what a DH doing is it is um uh basically

21:40 water balance by promoting water retention. right. So that's the antidiuresis

21:45 But the other thing that it does it plays vasoconstrictor. So both of

21:49 things together are increasing pressure, If water doesn't leave my body,

21:55 pressure stays high, right? If constrict a blood vessel, what happens

22:03 the pressure it goes up? So two things are being accomplished through a

22:08 , the other one here is angiotensin . Why it's not angiotensin one?

22:13 a long process, it starts off angiotensinogen goes through A T one becomes

22:18 T two and then we don't talk it any further after that, but

22:21 becomes A T three and A T . We don't talk about it.

22:24 like Bruno. All right, because primarily don't know what it does after

22:31 . But what A T two is also a vasoconstrictor. All

22:36 Angio refers itself to the cardiovascular So usually heart but also some of

22:42 vasculature, tension is two words jammed , tension and protein. So it's

22:49 increaser of pressure. Now, what does, it also regulates water salt

22:54 . Basically, what it does is promotes water retention. So, that's

23:00 we're doing two different ways. Con constriction and keeping water in the body

23:06 of peeing it out. Those are jobs. All right. So that

23:10 20 minutes to get through the last bit of that lecture from Thursday.

23:15 , my goodness. All right. you have a question? Go ahead

23:18 ask away. Uh huh. Different though. Yeah. We'll get to

23:27 house when we talk about the All right. So I'll just,

23:31 give you a preview. Kidney has hormones. They all start with the

23:34 A, three of them. Do same thing. One does not.

23:38 this is where we're gonna fall back Sesame Street. One of these things

23:42 not like the others. Yeah. we go. Yeah. OK.

23:48 , but I don't wanna, I wanna get into it now,

23:50 Yeah. So ready for respiratory Ok. You spent most of your

23:57 career learning about cellular respiration, cellular is just half the story. All

24:03 , respiration is getting air into the and then moving it to the

24:08 Not all our cells are in direct with the external environment. So they

24:12 all get the air that way. really the purpose of the respiratory system

24:15 conjunction with the cardiovascular system is to all the cells to the surface

24:22 right? So that they can do gas exchange. All right, we're

24:26 gonna talk about cell respiration here, gonna be talking about the process of

24:31 the air from the external environment into body and then to those cells and

24:36 we'll let uh, cell biology and talk about the rest. Ok.

24:41 right. There are some non respiratory of the respiratory system. We've talked

24:49 the nose being an organ of We haven't talked about vocalization, but

24:53 how you make sounds is through moving , in and out through the

24:57 Um We lose heat and uh uh through breath, water escape or uh

25:05 passed into the lungs. So I this bottom picture is very strange for

25:09 of us. For those of you ever been around cold weather, then

25:13 , you're familiar with this, starting October. All right. But for

25:17 rest of us, maybe January, . All right. Uh we process

25:23 . So in the processing, that's warming, humidifying the air, filtering

25:27 air. Uh the lungs play an role in defending against inhaled foreign

25:32 Um, in terms of the uh , we're gonna enhance venous return.

25:37 talked about the respiratory pump, we about the blood reservoir wire for the

25:41 ventricle. Um So the the circulation being pulled into that area. Um

25:48 also going to remove materials through pulmonary . So when materials go into the

25:55 , things are being passed into the that will be removed outward. And

25:59 thing we're not gonna talk about at . Although we probably should, but

26:02 just only have 25 lectures to give this or 26 lectures for the

26:07 So, acid based balance. And this is just another major thing.

26:11 a, uh, you go to book, I guarantee you there's a

26:14 chapter on acid based balance. All . So there are a lot of

26:17 things going on. There's a lot anatomy here too. Do you guys

26:21 where your larynx is? It's it's this thing right here,

26:25 No, it's, it's this thing sits for, for men. It

26:28 out and prominent. It's what gives our deep voice is our voice

26:32 That boundary. The larynx is the between the upper respiratory system and the

26:37 respiratory system. All right. So you know where your larynx is and

26:41 if you can't feel it, it's prominent, just hit the middle of

26:44 throat and you'll find it. It's hard. Ok. It's the thing

26:47 makes the funny noise. So air gonna enter in, through the nose

26:51 the mouth. It does enter through mouth. It doesn't necessarily, it's

26:54 necessarily supposed to. All right, passes down through the pharynx, pharynx

26:59 this fancy word for throat. All . And then to the larynx and

27:03 once you get past the larynx, gonna move down through the trachea and

27:07 the bronchi. Um, so I'm showing you a picture of the larynx

27:11 . It's through voice box. You see what it does. It open

27:14 closes. These are basically very, tight structures that you can change

27:19 their tightness. And so that's why able to get those unique vibrations this

27:24 the elastic tissue. When you you're gonna close that off because you

27:29 your no, no, no, milkshakes, no coffee into the

27:34 That's bad. Tacos, especially right? So, all right.

27:39 when you get down to the bronchial , these are the structures that are

27:43 inside the lungs. So we start the trachea, the trachea are going

27:47 divide, become bronchi, the bronchi and they divide and they divide and

27:51 divide and you get down to the tiny bits and you have bronchioles.

27:55 right. There are two different types bronchioles when you get down to the

27:58 end. All right. So, , bronchioles is defined as being smaller

28:02 a millimeter in diameter. All So what you've done here is you

28:06 the terminal bronchioles. This is what refer to as a portion of the

28:09 zone. So, conduction is where is no gas exchange. All you're

28:14 is a passage way between two So I'm just gonna ask you a

28:17 simple question. Is an artery, conductor or an exchanger. What do

28:22 think I'm moving into a different I'm jump back is an artery,

28:25 conductor or an exchanger? What's a ? What's a vein good? So

28:32 already understand this concept. So, we're saying here is there is a

28:35 of the lungs that plays no role exchange. It's just a passage way

28:40 get down to where exchange takes All right, that's where the respiratory

28:44 come into play is that first segment the respiratory zone. So there are

28:49 bronchioles that play a role in It's not the terminal end, but

28:54 is a portion of the tree that ex changes from uh conduction to

29:01 And I love your book because no book I've ever seen shows you that

29:06 somebody figured this out, somebody who this was important went down and dissected

29:12 and kept dissecting it down to got many branches and there's 24 generations in

29:19 wild. What does that mean? generations, branch, branch,

29:23 branch, branch, branch, keep until you do that 24 times,

29:29 ? And you're down to these itsy teeny tiny structures. And within all

29:34 , look at this, that's terminal then now you're in, that's all

29:39 conducting zone. And then that means is all exchange zone. And what

29:44 getting down to is not to those bronchioles. That's just the first

29:49 What you're working down to are the . This is where we want to

29:54 our time. So this is the zone in a nutshell. Well,

29:59 a cartoon picture, I guess. right. And so what you have

30:03 , they're showing you uh the vasculature well in this picture. And so

30:08 we have here is we have the , here's the terminal bronchial, they're

30:11 to say, but down here we're get to the point where we're now

30:15 exchange to take place. And so see ducks. So ducks are simply

30:20 pass that are going in between the alveoli. They are similar to the

30:25 way I can describe it is think a bunch of grapes, ok?

30:29 the alveoli are a bunch of the little stems that are connecting all

30:32 grapes together, those are the alveolar and then those things are connecting together

30:36 getting into the larger stems. You , those are the things that your

30:40 cut so that you didn't have to those in your lunch, right?

30:43 had the little tiny bunch, So that's what we're kind of looking

30:46 here. And then so when you down to the alveoli, that's where

30:50 gonna see the individual sack. So is a or actually a sack is

30:54 the bunch of grapes. So that's we want to do too. So

30:57 alveoli is where the actual exchange is place. This is where our focus

31:00 gonna be. But everything you see here is allowing for exchange And so

31:06 we've done is we've taken our lungs you can see my, my

31:09 my chest is basically this big, ? You know, whatever on the

31:14 . And you can imagine there is finite volume in there, right?

31:17 could probably measure that volume, But what we're doing is that volume

31:22 being divided up so that we can surface area. Because what we want

31:27 we want an increased surface area so can have greater exchange taking place.

31:31 , good old fixed law way back the beginning of the semester. And

31:34 said, you gotta remember this stuff it's gonna keep popping up and you're

31:37 , yeah, whatever. I'll just for the test and put it in

31:39 you know, said, forget I'm done with it. Fixed law

31:42 showing up again, increasing surface creases diffusion. And so what we

31:47 here is when we get down to sacks, we have about 3 to

31:52 million alveoli per lung. That's basically taking that volume and dividing and dividing

31:59 until you get down to the itsy teeny tiny structures. And in doing

32:04 you've increased surface area. Now, don't know how much surface area

32:07 Are you ready for the lie? , because I've seen this at least

32:10 textbooks, but we know it's not . But let's just pretend it

32:14 You have like a tennis court, tennis course courts worth of surface area

32:21 each lung. All right. That . We don't know. It's

32:28 it's a mathematical calculation that no one for sure. Somebody said,

32:32 that sounds like this. And they it in a book and now it

32:34 been repeated a dozen times. It's entirely accurate, but let's just pretend

32:40 is. All right. Look how you are. Look at your little

32:44 cells and now think of that space your lungs, each lung has a

32:49 courts worth of surface area. That's . So that's how much gas exchange

32:55 can do. We've increased that surface around each one of these,

33:00 We have uh uh blood vessels, ? So this capillary systems that's going

33:05 allow for the exchange to take We have elastic fibers so that when

33:09 stretch alveolus, it will want to back to its original shape and then

33:13 each of the individual alveoli themselves are and that's what they're trying to show

33:17 here. So they are not individual , they are interconnected. So as

33:22 expand one, you're not just expanding , you're expanding. All. All

33:27 . So it increases surface area and exchange by doing so so far.

33:32 you with me? OK. Let's a look inside an alveolus three cells

33:37 need to know about first type of . It's called a type one

33:41 Alveolar type one. Really, really . All right. The type one

33:45 makes up the surface of an Very, very boring cell. It's

33:51 , most abundant. And it is wall of the balloon. All

33:57 Second type of cell type two What does it do? Well,

34:02 stuck around here. I think that's it is. Yeah. No,

34:04 are macrophages. So, these are other things I thought were macrophages.

34:09 little things right there in a little represent the alveolar type two cell.

34:12 they do is they produce a All right, we're gonna talk about

34:16 at the very last part of the . But what the fact is just

34:20 material that coats the inside of the plays an important role to ensure that

34:25 alveolus doesn't collapse on itself and becomes inflatable. All right, that's,

34:30 the gist of it. The third is sitting there wandering around from alveoli

34:34 Alveoli, kind of like a cop the beach. Just kind of checking

34:37 out and making sure things are These are the alveolar macrophages. So

34:42 is a resident macrophage, but they're static. They are mobile, they're

34:46 moving around. You've probably heard at point in your life. Again.

34:51 thing I do not know if it's or not is that over the course

34:54 your lifespan? You'll inhale like two worth of dirt while you're breathing.

35:00 that true? I don't know. days it feels like it right.

35:05 days you know, maybe not. know, maybe if you go to

35:08 concert, you might feel like it's full bucket that day, you

35:12 but that's the idea is dust and so, you know, so that

35:15 feel totally gross, dust is basically skin cells and other skin things that

35:19 floating around in the air. So inhaling people just felt like I had

35:25 say that. All right, other . So you can see here here's

35:29 alveolus alveoli are right next to. , um this is the alveolus cis

35:34 here is the capillary. So we're coming in close and you can see

35:37 that the distance between the plasma and capillary and the air that's found inside

35:43 old alveolus is very, very The reason for that is because that

35:47 is very thin, it's about half millimeter. All right. So one

35:51 the reasons why pneumonia is so dangerous so deadly or it used to be

35:56 because pneumonia is characterized, it's not an infection, it's characterized by an

36:02 of fluid in the lungs. So I have 0.5 millimeters, right?

36:08 I can have gas exchange across that millimeter. But if I had 0.1

36:12 of water, that is now a thickness of 0.2 or sorry 0.6

36:18 I only increased it 20% right. still a lot because it goes back

36:24 fixed law because thickness matters, That's why it's so dangerous. So

36:31 want to regulate and make sure that doesn't happen. We want to keep

36:34 , that membrane nice and cheap or not cheap, but uh

36:39 All right. Um So this is , the surface area 500 to 100

36:45 uh meters squared. That's why I'm , we don't really know what the

36:49 is. And then in terms of much uh capacity you have in your

36:54 is somewhere between five and six liters air. All right, if you're

36:59 , less, if you're bigger now, let's talk about a

37:07 Yes, sir. Um you can it, right. That's one of

37:16 ways that, that it's done. So part of the reason that the

37:20 lungs would accumulate fluid is not that just shows up, right? What's

37:25 is, is you're getting vasodilation if is an immune response from the

37:31 So you get vasodilation and so when get that vasodilation fluids seep into the

37:36 and create that barrier, that's So, so how do we get

37:40 of it? The same way? basically reabsorb it back into the

37:44 Yeah. But as long as you're , not gonna happen. And also

37:49 uh if you have too much it actually sinks down low and that

37:53 an effect on breathing and stuff. your book talks about that. I

37:56 teach that because one, I don't it too. I mean, that's

37:59 rule. If, I don't know , I'm not gonna teach you.

38:01 that? Does that sound fair? . Yeah. All right. Let's

38:06 about the anatomy of the lung. is really, really interesting. All

38:10 . So, what do we have ? We talked about the bronchi

38:13 So, we have these airways, ? We have alveoli, we have

38:17 vessels, right. We saw the vessels. um there's connective tissue and

38:22 some smooth muscle that's wrapped around like can see here wrapped around the

38:30 there's no skeletal muscle and then on outside, we're gonna have serous

38:34 All right. So serous membrane, is the purpose of a serous

38:40 Friction, reduces friction, right? things that are moving. All

38:44 we call this cous membrane, the . All right. So how this

38:49 forms is you can imagine, I a, a um structure that is

38:56 be adhered to the inside wall of thoracic cage. All right. This

39:01 your thoracic cage. If you think your ribs, does it look like

39:04 cage? So thoracic cage, So what you have is this,

39:09 structure is adhered to two things. adhered to the thoracic wall and it's

39:14 to the developing lung on the And so what you have is you

39:18 a potential space between these two structures it's really a balloon. The picture

39:22 see every book uses is like it's like you have the balloon and

39:26 take another balloon and you stick it the balloon or it might be a

39:28 that you put in the balloon. what happens is the balloon wraps around

39:31 structure. And so really, that's going on in the lung as it

39:33 , it's surrounded by this structure that's adhered to the outside wall. And

39:37 what you do is you're pushing the into this thing and you're creating this

39:42 that is now adhered on one on the thoracic cage and on the

39:46 side of the lung. And so this really, really thin potential

39:50 All right, we have names for . Anything that's adhered to the uh

39:55 an organ is called the visceral So this would be the visceral

39:58 anything that's adhered to the, away that the, the lung or the

40:03 or whatever it would be referred to being parietal. So this would be

40:07 visceral side. That would be the . There's a viser side, there

40:10 the parietal. All right. why do we even care about

40:14 All right. Well, first I think I've told you this

40:22 You're made of meat, right? said that I did OK, you're

40:28 of meat and when you add heat meat, what happens to the

40:31 it cooks, right? So, about how often you breathe during a

40:36 . All right, your lungs are in and out, in and

40:39 in and out. And so they're be rubbing against the thoracic cage.

40:43 over time you cook that meat nice golden brown and then you'd have a

40:47 , stiff, hard structure because when cook meat, that's what you do

40:53 you cross-link the protein fibers and so get nice and hard and juicy and

40:57 . I don't know about lung but I'm just saying, generally

41:00 All right, what's another way we cook meat? But how do we

41:04 meat down here in Texas, particularly the summer and the spring barbecue?

41:09 , what's, what's barbecue smoking? it. That's exactly right. You

41:15 the meat, right? You're using temperature smoke and that low temperature smoke

41:20 going to cross link the fibers and , it's the same sort of

41:23 You're just cross linking. There's another to cook meat if you like

41:27 What are you doing? What are cooking with acids? Right. Take

41:34 whole bunch of acids. Drop, your meat into that. That

41:38 it could be steak, it could fish, it could be whatever you

41:42 to, right? But acid lower will also do the same thing.

41:47 like the proteins right now. Why I bring this up? What does

41:53 do? I'm talking, smoking or , whichever, whichever way you wanna

42:00 it. So, what's it doing your lungs? It's cooking them,

42:05 cross linking the proteins and we don't a lot of stuff in there.

42:09 have elastic fibers and we have smooth . Ok. So the purpose here

42:16 the first place of the serous membrane to prevent that friction. So,

42:21 we're breathing, we're not stiffening up hardening the lungs, that's its

42:27 All right, but it has another as well. All right, with

42:33 to the respiratory muscles, let's go over the list. What, what

42:37 do we have in the lungs? mentioned, we have elastic fibers.

42:42 mentioned trachea and bronchi, we mentioned , we got blood vessels, we

42:46 um smooth muscle. But do we any skeletal muscle in the lungs?

42:55 . All right. But can we regulate how we breathe? Can we

42:59 breathe in real quick? Let's all out real quick and let's shake off

43:05 skin to make people eat that. right. But I can't control smooth

43:13 . So where are my respiratory They are on the outside? They're

43:18 the thoracic cage, they're the So they make up the floor.

43:22 our respiratory muscles are external to the . And so the second role of

43:28 serous membrane is to attach the lungs skeletal muscles. Ok. That's its

43:34 goal, that's its other purpose. so by pulling, we're going to

43:37 to how we do this. But pulling on that cerus membrane, when

43:40 contract the muscles of the chest. going to happen is I pull on

43:44 cerus membrane and that cerus membrane is to pull on the lung and cause

43:49 to stretch. Ok. We might do a demonstration in class because it's

43:55 . OK. So we're not acting on the lung. We're acting indirectly

44:01 the goal here, we're acting on cer membrane. We're not acting on

44:04 lung tissue directly. And what we're do is we're gonna create changes in

44:10 . So that when we create those in volume, we're going to alter

44:15 . And when we alter pressure, move. Right. That's the

44:19 All right. So let's pause. put a pin in that. And

44:25 let's start talking a little bit about physics. Oh, my goodness.

44:30 . Uh All right, gas First off, what is atmospheric

44:35 atmospheric air is a mixture of We've already talked about this. What

44:39 air? It is first and nitrogen. It's all right. I

44:45 what you're thinking. Do. We use the nitrogen? No, it's

44:49 waste of our time and effort. it's there. It's not, it's

44:53 nitrogen, roughly 79 point something. right. Followed by, followed

45:00 followed by, who knows? it's on the list up there,

45:04 sure. Oh, look argon. . There it is. OK.

45:08 , there's more argon in the air there is carbon dioxide. So,

45:11 you go. All right. So is a mixture of gasses. All

45:16 , Dalton's law says that when you the pressure of the atmosphere of any

45:20 of gasses for that matter, each those pressures of the individual gasses make

45:25 the total pressure. All right. atmospheric air is a mixture of all

45:30 gasses. So if you look at atmospheric air at 7 60 millimeters of

45:34 and say, OK, that is pressure. And I know that uh

45:39 is 79% of that. I could 0.79 multiply by the 7 60.

45:43 I can figure out what the partial of nitrogen is in atmospheric air and

45:48 can do it for every single solitary that's in the air. All

45:53 in Houston, we have a special that's floating around. I'm not talking

45:57 gas. What is that special That's just always there. Humidity.

46:04 is humidity, water? So that a gas, you know, in

46:10 or that is a molecule in his form just circulate. All right.

46:14 you have to take into consideration all gasses that are there when you're doing

46:18 partial pressures. All right. Second , this is a rule that you

46:22 already understand gasses are gonna move down partial pressure gradients. So just the

46:27 rules we learned about P pressures, pressure gradients are the same thing as

46:30 gradient. It's just we call it pressure because we're referring specifically to that

46:35 gas, right. So in when I put air in my

46:39 the partial pressure of oxygen is greater the lungs than it is in the

46:43 . So, which way does oxygen go out of the lungs and into

46:46 blood? So it follows as partial gradient. All right, the partial

46:51 of carbon dioxide is greater in the in the lungs than it is in

46:55 lungs. So, which way does dioxide want to go out to the

46:59 ? And then when I breathe and it out, I'm basically moving the

47:03 that has undergone exchange. All But it's still just air. So

47:08 I'm exhaling, I'm exhaling oxygen with uh you know, but I'm also

47:14 more carbon dioxide. I'm just exhaling oxygen that didn't get exchanged. All

47:20 . Now, when you take a and you put it into a

47:24 it maintains or retains its partial pressure a function of the total volume,

47:29 is Henry's law. I didn't know had a law, but now you

47:33 . All right. So the more there is the greater the pressure.

47:37 not hard to understand. All Think of a soda, a

47:41 it is carbon dioxide dissolved in What happens when you uh when you

47:47 that carbon dioxide and you seal it , you have more carbon dioxide in

47:50 container and then when you pop that . What do you hear? And

47:55 is a carbon dioxide going from the pressure out into the environment where there's

47:59 pressure and then you can watch the dioxide collectively come together and those are

48:05 bubbles and then they work their way to the surface. All right.

48:08 that's just Henry's law visualized. alveolar air, the air in your

48:16 . All right. So we remember talking about where exchange is taking place

48:19 not the same thing as atmosphere All right. Now, even though

48:23 here we have a lot of humidity here, we have more humidity.

48:27 right. So you just gotta imagine in Houston. So we can exaggerate

48:30 little bit. All right. So I breathe in, what's happening

48:34 is there is humidity in my body that humidity is in the form of

48:39 that, that, that water. so when the air comes into my

48:43 , I'm gonna mix, mix it that humid air. And so I'm

48:47 water to the air now, you this, right? We can go

48:51 to that picture of the picture of person in the cold when I breathe

48:54 and out and it's cold. I see the condensation of that water as

48:58 leaving my body, right. So adding water to the air when it

49:05 in. All right. So that the partial pressures are slightly changing,

49:10 ? Because if I have 100% of . And I'm changing the percentiles of

49:14 of the things that are going then the partial pressures are changing.

49:18 makes sense. So if, if going in has 0% water, but

49:23 it comes into my lungs is now water, that means the nitrogen,

49:27 oxygen, the carbon dioxide, those have changed also. And thus they're

49:32 pressures. All right. Now, water or when air gets into my

49:38 , oxygen always, always, always away from the lungs. It's always

49:43 to escape. It doesn't matter if breathing in. Right? So if

49:48 breathing in air, I'm adding in air, that means I'm adding in

49:51 oxygen. But oxygen is still leaving lungs going into the blood. If

49:54 holding my breath or if I'm between , oxygen is still moving into the

50:00 . If I'm exhaling oxygen is moving the blood, why it's a partial

50:06 gradient that it is following? All . I'm not worried about the bulk

50:10 . I'm only concerned with oxygen. right. So it doesn't matter.

50:14 this, I guarantee you put a star by this. I asked this

50:17 every class and not everyone gets the answer I'm giving you a free two

50:22 on the exam. It doesn't matter you're breathing in, breathing out or

50:26 your breath. Oxygen moves down its gradient or partial pressure, not concentrate

50:33 pressure gradient. Right? And I I framed the question some of

50:36 the effect of you're holding the breath oxygen moving in, you know,

50:41 , which direction is oxygen going or like that? When you're holding your

50:47 , breathing in and breathing out, carbon dioxin doing the same thing?

50:50 always moving down, it's pressure gradient it will continue moving down its pressure

50:55 until what happens, equ equilibrium is what we're looking for, right?

51:02 it's never reached equilibrium is never Now, it could be reached.

51:06 then what happens? Then you right? If you hold your breath

51:10 enough, then yeah. All So we're just talking about normal breathing

51:15 and out. Now we can calculate out. So you can uh I

51:20 know if this actually it does have partial pressures, right? So you're

51:24 from 1 59 to 1 49. I'm not asking, please,

51:28 please do not memorize numbers, but going to show you two numbers here

51:31 it makes our lives easier to work these when you see numbers. So

51:35 you take into consideration air, moving and moving out and the oxygen always

51:39 down its gradient and so on and forth, what you'll see is that

51:42 average partial pressure of oxygen inside the is around 100 millimeters of mercury.

51:47 really like 100 and two. But know, put two in the penny

51:54 for somebody else later. Right. regard to carbon dioxide, it's roughly

51:58 millimeters of mercury. And those two are important because of what's going on

52:04 the tissues. We'll get to that a moment. All right, just

52:09 you there are factors that influence gas . These are again based on fixed

52:14 of one surface area is important. we talk about surface area, we're

52:18 if we want to have greater surface , we can open up the capillary

52:23 vasodilation. When I cause vasodilation, moves through faster, right? Excuse

52:30 , it's not the speed but the that's moving quicker through, right?

52:36 so what you do is you'd have exchange and so that's gonna increase the

52:40 of exchange. And the other thing can do is you increase alveolar

52:45 How do you increase alveolar space? my tidal volume? Tidal volume is

52:49 special word. That means how much I'm breathing in and out per time

52:53 breath. So this would be versus , low tidal volume versus a big

53:02 thickness that matters. We mentioned this . If I have water in the

53:06 , it's gonna increase the thickness of barrier. And then the weird one

53:09 the diffusion coefficient. Um You guys been in the chemistry lab before,

53:14 ? Have you looked around and noticed in the chem lab, they have

53:16 big thick books like this about this sitting over in the corner gathering dust

53:21 the CRC. Have you ever seen ? OK. The CRC is like

53:26 chemical reference something or another. And basically has every characteristic of every molecule

53:31 anyone has ever worked with, It talks like molecular weight, boiling

53:36 , melting, point, freezing Well, if there is a fact

53:40 one of these things, that's one will be found in the CRC and

53:43 can look up any chemical almost to that stuff out. One of the

53:47 that each molecule has is something that's a diffusion coefficient. And a diffusion

53:52 simply is its ability to uh solubilized a fluid. All right. And

53:59 if you look at carbon dioxide and , for example, you would see

54:04 the diffusion coefficient for carbon dioxide is greater than oxygen like 20 fold

54:10 All right. So what that means if you were to put oxygen,

54:13 dioxide on a slope, racing towards destination, the slope for carbon dioxide

54:18 be steep, the slope for oxygen be very, very slow. So

54:22 dioxide moves very quickly into uh uh environments like tissues. All right.

54:30 , why does this matter? remember we're exchanging oxygen for carbon

54:36 but carbon dioxide moves faster. So do we accomplish this? Well,

54:41 based on those partial pressures because there's much more oxygen there, there's carbon

54:47 again, we can go back and at the numbers if you want to

54:49 look at numbers, but there's so that they're offset. So the significant

54:56 millimeters of mercury of oxygen is off offsets that 40 millimeters of carbon

55:02 And so the exchange is roughly Despite the fact, carbon dioxide is

55:08 lot faster. All right. So doing some basic exchange here. I

55:15 think I need to explain this pressure . This is just a reminder you

55:18 know that. Right? Third you should know our friend Boyle shows

55:25 ugly face again. P one V equals P two V two. And

55:29 just shows you look at a constant pressure of a gas decreases if the

55:33 increases. All right. And that's here with this piston model,

55:39 You can see here when I pull the piston that decreases the base of

55:43 volume in or the volume increases. the pressure inside there decreases,

55:48 And if I press that piston the pressure is going to increase as

55:51 volume decreases. And all of these are important in understanding, breathing in

56:00 out. Do you guys like the ? I think the memes are much

56:09 fun in a class than just a . All right. So what is

56:14 ? It's moving the air between the and the elbow. Oli inspiration or

56:19 is drawing air into the lungs. or exhalation is pushing the air

56:23 OK. We're done. You can home. Well, there's more to

56:28 obviously, but that, I that's in essence, what we're gonna

56:31 is we're going to describe in minute how I make that happen. All

56:36 . That's in essence what this Quiet, breathing is what you're doing

56:40 now. Just breathing in and You're at rest. Some of you

56:44 at more rest than others. All . And so you're just that breathing

56:49 and out there is also called forced , forced breathing is when you actively

56:55 air or pull air into the lung would be forced, right? Same

57:04 processes are involved. Um So there's be autonomic nuclei that are stimulating the

57:10 muscles. So notice we can have pattern of regulation that is autonomic of

57:18 muscles so that we can create this of quiet breathing, but we can

57:23 that autonomic pattern as well. You hold your breath, right. You

57:27 breathe harder and faster, but it's at an auto autonomic level. And

57:34 we're doing is we're gonna be changing volume of the thoracic cage. And

57:39 doing so, we're gonna change pressure when we change pressure, air flows

57:42 to reach equilibrium, right? Or flows out to reach equilibrium. Where

57:49 we reaching equilibrium with the atmosphere? . That's the idea. All

57:54 And we're just moving air down its gradient. That's the whole purpose.

58:01 . This is the part where everyone getting confused. All right. And

58:05 , it's not confusing because of anything . It's because of how we look

58:09 it. All right, because usually taught in such a way that it

58:14 mucked up. So if I start you say you're mucking it up,

58:18 up, explain it. Right. . Um You hold me accountable

58:24 All right. Three pressures. We to concern her with self, with

58:30 pressure. That's the pressure of the . That's easy. We're just gonna

58:36 it nice and simple. Same thing learned since the dawn of time,

58:38 60 millimeters of mercury. OK. gonna look at the pressure inside the

58:43 . All right. That is the pressure. So, inside the lung

58:49 , all right. Now it's gonna and fall. It's gonna go up

58:52 it's gonna go down. But what trying to do is it's always,

58:55 trying to reach equilibrium with the atmospheric . OK. So we're trying to

59:03 it's trying to get to 760 millimeters mercury. So far, pretty

59:08 Here's the thing that screws everybody up the intra plural pressure. So this

59:13 the pressure inside that plural sac. right. Remember one wall adhered to

59:19 thoracic cage. One part adhered to outside of the lung in there is

59:24 fluid that prevents friction. And what have is we have a pressure in

59:28 that's less than atmospheric pressure. So what's it trying to do?

59:35 would, what would something less than to accomplish if I have, it

59:41 try to, it would try to equilibrium, wouldn't it? So we

59:43 a pressure that wants to reach equilibrium is not being allowed to. All

59:49 . So let's kind of create the here. All right, we have

59:55 lung that is stretched inside the thoracic during development. You can think about

60:01 . The lungs are growing downward so they're not trying to fill the

60:05 , they're trying to just grow. because they're adhered to that uh serous

60:10 , they're being forced to stretch out spread in that little space that they're

60:15 their plural sac, right? But peal sac is also adhered to the

60:20 cage. The thoracic cage wants to outward. So we have two things

60:23 are trying to grow in different One's trying to grow that way.

60:26 trying to grow that way and they're that serous membrane. OK? I'm

60:36 because I'm trying to decide whether or I wanna do the demonstration here.

60:40 we wanna do the demonstration? What you think? You wanna do the

60:46 ? Anyone else, anyone else want demonstration? OK. They do.

60:51 like, I don't know. And know, you, you do,

60:53 want the demonstration? Excellent. we got three volunteers. All

60:57 I love it. Yeah. See, you knew it. He

60:59 looking at me like, please please don't come on up. All

61:03 , I want you, Sydney. . All right. This is what

61:10 it make sense? All right, have a stage. So this is

61:16 Shakespeare. Except far more interesting. right. What we have here is

61:24 have our plural sac. He looks like a plural sack. Don't you

61:29 he is fluid? So that's, is the cerus fluid over here.

61:34 have a cerus membrane over here. have a cerus membrane. What do

61:38 want to be a lung or thoracic ? All right. Come on up

61:43 is our thoracic cage. Now, thoracic cage remember is developing way over

61:48 and our lung is developing way over . All right. See, here's

61:52 lung. See our lung is way here, but they're connected to the

61:59 sac, aren't they? Uh oh , maybe a little bit. Got

62:06 whole answer. Comfy and everything. No, no. Get comfy.

62:16 it out. I want you to his arms off, pull his arm

62:19 . All right. Now, look we have here is we have a

62:23 sack that's being stretched, stretch All right. So you can

62:29 Let's, let's stop stretching for a . So if we don't stretch

62:32 what happens? He goes into equilibrium the atmosphere 7 60 millimeters of

62:36 But where do our, where does thoracic cage wanna be, wants to

62:41 over there. And where does our wanna be? So what happens

62:45 is now we're pulling and we're stretching that there's negative pressure inside the plural

62:53 . OK. Now, the reason that is we don't want any

62:57 Right? So if I pull on third, if I pull, what's

63:02 happen is he, he has to . There is no give. So

63:05 what happens. Let's move a step . All right. Move a step

63:09 . All right. Now, do see that? There's, there's give

63:11 . So now start moving away. how long it takes before there's

63:17 right? Do you see the So, the idea here is we've

63:20 stretched the pleura as far as we . And so the inside of that

63:25 is filled with a negative pressure and can't stretch any further. So that

63:29 any sort of movement in this relationship thoracic cage, pleura and lung is

63:36 cause movement of the whole system, ? So when the thoracic cage

63:42 it pulls the lung over and then the thoracic cage relaxes, the lung

63:47 back over to where she wants and arm stays stretched out. All

63:53 Does you see there's no give. what I'm trying to shoot. Thank

63:57 so much guys. Yeah. yay. Yeah, for volunteering.

64:01 get an automatic a for the Just kidding. Just kidding. All

64:08 . But that's what I want you visualize here. OK? So when

64:11 see that negative pressure don't become, my goodness. I don't understand.

64:15 we're doing is we're creating an environment that everything is already stretched out so

64:19 you have to get the interaction That any sort of change is gonna

64:24 transferred between thoracic cage and lung and and thoracic cage. Alright. See

64:32 thing is, is that fluid has cohesiveness to it. Do you guys

64:38 this from way back when and One and chemistry one. What is

64:45 ? Basically things sticking together, Water has with it. Polar

64:50 polar bonds are basically sticky bonds that the water from escaping. Anyone here

64:55 ever worked in a lab or had take two pieces of glass that have

64:58 to hear themselves together. I see shaking of the head. You must

65:01 had to do this before. you're working with plates in the

65:05 Those two things stick together. You as well use super glue,

65:09 You have to slide them until you not enough surface area and then the

65:12 things come apart. You want to this at home, don't use glass

65:17 reasons go get a Ziploc bag, a little bit of water in

65:22 push all the air out and then it and then try to pull the

65:25 sides apart. It's a nightmare because water serves as a glue and that's

65:32 going on in here. Is that can't stretch the water any further.

65:37 when you go through inspiration, what doing is you're pulling on with the

65:42 cage, you're pulling on the, the uh parietal side, you can't

65:47 the fluid. So the visceral side and so the lung moves and what

65:53 gonna do is you're gonna expand the cage outward and you're gonna push the

65:58 cage downward because of the muscles that involved. And in doing so that

66:03 the pressure inside the lungs. And the pressure drops inside the lungs,

66:08 wants to go and fill that. air gets pulled in from the atmosphere

66:13 fills the lung up until the pressure the lung equals 7 60 atmospheric

66:20 Ok. My muscle relaxes right. The thoracic cage falls inward,

66:28 The diaphragm moves upward, the volume the thoracic cage decreases. So the

66:34 rises inside the lungs. So what ? Air pushes out to win equilibrium

66:42 the atmosphere? 7 60 millimeters of . All right. The only reason

66:47 concern ourselves with that intra plural pressure to ensure that we understand that we're

66:53 stressing the system. What happens if poke a hole in the parietal

66:59 What happens? The lung collapses on because it's elastic tissue. It just

67:04 to become a little tiny deflated This is why it's being held and

67:09 I pulled them up here to show being stretched outward because the whole system

67:14 , is already, everything is out position. The lung is out of

67:19 because it's being pulled where it doesn't to go. The thoracic cage is

67:22 of position. It doesn't want to where it is and the pleura is

67:25 of position because it's being stretched as as it can be stretched. So

67:29 movement occurs because everything is already stretched so everything has to move together.

67:37 , there are muscles involved. You know these muscles. There's not a

67:41 list. That's good news. So breathing, the muscles are quiet

67:44 That's the diaphragm. That's the muscle separates the abdomen from the thoracic

67:48 If you're a singer, you know that is. If you're not a

67:52 , that's ok. All right, serves as the floor. So when

67:56 contract that muscle, it pushes the downward. When I relax the

68:00 the floor comes back up. The one is the external intercostal muscles.

68:07 means outside intercostal between the ribs. right. Your homework tonight. Go

68:14 a barbecue place, order ribs. you don't like pork, find a

68:17 that does beef rib, you'll be surprised. It's far better. Take

68:22 rib, take a bite and look you'll see, you're gonna see muscle

68:27 in one direction on the outside, the outer curve portion. That would

68:31 the external intercostal. What do you is on the other side? An

68:36 intercostal muscle. We'll get to that just a second. All right.

68:38 these are the muscles of quiet All right. When I contract

68:44 my thoracic cage expands, my floor . When I relax them, then

68:51 get those muscles to fall or the cage to fall in and the diaphragm

68:56 back up. Notice, quiet breathing both the inspiration and the expiration.

69:02 these two muscles are involved both in expanding and when I relax the

69:09 the contraction of the thoracic cage or loss of volume, that's what all

69:15 stuff is. Oh No, Exploration is just hard. If I

69:19 it, this is the greater detail it and this just shows you how

69:24 changing volume. All right. So is showing you inspiration and expiration.

69:29 vertical is the diaphragm lateral thoracic cage then also anterior and posterior would be

69:36 cage. All that's covered through the and the external intercostal muscles, quiet

69:44 , forced breathing. Remember what forced is? Watch me do forced

69:49 Watch carefully when I force breathe house different than my normal breathing. What

69:57 I do? Oh I lifted, lifted up my shoulders. So there's

70:01 muscles now that are being involved All right, let's do forced

70:04 I'm gonna exaggerate it, right. what did you see me do pushed

70:13 ? Right? OK. So here is an active process, unlike forced

70:19 like actual exploration. I'm not just the muscle to relax. I'm actually

70:26 involving muscles in exploration to increase the at which air moves out of my

70:32 . Ok. So both the exploration, I'm going to bring in

70:36 muscles. So in terms of I'm going to ask you to learn

70:41 of these, of this list of up here. All right. The

70:46 that I want you to know are shouldered ones. OK? Sternocleidomastoid and

70:53 Scalings. All right. They're the that make you do this.

70:57 It's the lifting up portion. And you're doing is you are trying to

71:02 the thoracic cage faster. All Now, these others play a role

71:06 that as well. I mean, the serratus, these are all muscles

71:10 play a role in pulling out but this is an anatomy class.

71:14 I don't want you to memorize So I figured the two s's are

71:18 easiest sternocleidomastoid and Scalings. And they a role in lifting or at the

71:24 . When it comes to exploration, bringing in two muscles. All

71:28 if the external play a role in inspiration, right? By lifting up

71:35 internal intercostal muscles play a role in inspiration by pulling inward, right?

71:43 the external are involved in both the and the regular inspiration, quiet breathing

71:49 well as forced inspiration. When I , I'm pulling, that's the internal

71:56 muscle muscle. So again, take rib after you've taken a bite,

72:00 see the muscles on the outer side this direction. You'll see the muscles

72:03 the inner side going the other Again, if pork's not your

72:09 I grew up in West Texas, didn't eat pork rib, we ate

72:13 rib. You know, it's like ribs. Good stuff. Lots more

72:19 too. Taste better. All So that's for express. No.

72:24 then the other one is the abdominal . That was the other thing.

72:27 just, we're not gonna list all abdominal muscles, but just say abdominal

72:31 are squeezing in. And what they're is they're pushing the diaphragm faster.

72:34 why li air is quicker. All , we're starting to wrap things up

72:42 . You're taking the physiology lab. . OK. One of the thing

72:46 guys get to do in the physiology is you get to play with

72:49 the spirometer. Um And the spirometer uh something that allows you to measure

72:54 lung volumes and capacities. And these just means by deter to determine whether

72:59 not your lung is working correctly. right. And so these are just

73:02 calculations that physiologists use. All So use a spirometer. This is

73:08 old fashioned spirometer. This is called Bell Spirometer. And so you breathe

73:12 and it lifts up the bell if ever seen the movie, um uh

73:16 the right thing or the right They actually showed the first astronauts using

73:20 spirometers and what that was one of first thing they're trying to test to

73:24 what's your lung capacity. And these were like being able to push air

73:28 like three minutes. It's crazy. What they do now is it's just

73:33 machine. You've done that, You go and you blow into a

73:36 . Not, not the one that's drunk driving. I'm talking a different

73:40 , right? Um So it basically the amount of air that's moved in

73:44 the condition of your respiratory status. and it can help you determine the

73:48 . All right. So let's just of go through them. All

73:50 So during quiet respiration, you need understand your lung is never completely

73:55 You're not a balloon, right? it never completely is empties,

73:58 So you're not squeezing all the air and squeezing in, you're not a

74:02 , right? You, you are bellow in the sense that air is

74:05 in and out, but you're not to the complete states of, of

74:08 extremes. All right. So this the lung capacity is about six liters

74:13 men, roughly 4500 for women. , that's a size thing.

74:17 you know, on average, you , that's what you work out.

74:22 Whether you're male or female, the breathing capacity is somewhere between 2700 and

74:28 mils. So you're moving roughly 500 of air per breath. Right.

74:33 , your lungs are never fully They're never fully, uh,

74:36 full. They sit between 2700 and during quiet breathing. All right,

74:43 can push out a whole bunch of and when you push out all that

74:47 , uh, you'll be left with 1200 mils of air inside the

74:50 Now, this is important. All . Um First you want to make

74:54 that gas exchange is always taking And so if you push all the

74:57 out of your lungs is gas exchange place. No. So that's part

75:01 the reason, the way that we this is that when we push on

75:04 lungs, what happens is, is collapse um those uh bronchioles like the

75:09 bronchioles and the uh the respiratory And so it traps the air inside

75:14 alveoli. So everything in the conducting is, it's not becoming empty,

75:19 you're basically trapping air inside, but collapsing it. That's how it's

75:24 So, our respiratory volumes, first is the tidal volume. That's just

75:29 volume of air entering in and entering . So that's that little wave that

75:33 see here, right? This little zone, right? The in inspiratory

75:38 volume is how much air you can into your lungs on top of the

75:42 volume. So, just think of breathing and when you breathe in,

75:46 how much you can breathe on top that? All right, the extra

75:50 reserve volume is the amount of air you can maximally remove from your body

75:54 normal breathing. So that would be the down expiration. So I'm expiring

75:58 then how much more can I push ? And then what's left over is

76:01 is referred to as the residual So that would be that roughly that

76:05 mils that is left over in the and then we can use these volumes

76:09 we can do some calculations with So the Inspire or inspirational capacity is

76:14 title volume plus the Inspire Reserve. it's basically everything blown up. The

76:19 residual capacity, that is everything below title volume. So extra reserve and

76:25 uh residual volume, the vital capacity everything above residual volume. And then

76:30 total incapacity is all of four of together. All right. And

76:36 when you go to a lung, life, when you went, if

76:39 , when you have asthma, you have to tell me. But if

76:41 did, I mean the first thing they do is they test your ability

76:45 breathe in and out and they're, breathing in its barometer. So what

76:48 looking for is based on your size your age and your sex and all

76:51 fun stuff. They figure out what supposed to be. And then if

76:54 doing less or more then they start to figure out what the cause is

76:59 on these capacities. So these are . So this is an actual machine

77:04 breathe in. Now it's not a barometer. So you have forced expiratory

77:08 . This would be the percentage of capacity that you can expel in a

77:13 of time. Usually it's a So it'd be like, ok,

77:17 , how fast can you breathe out air? That would be that.

77:20 then the Maxim toy Vol Voluntary ventilation , how much air can you inhale

77:25 then exhale over that period of that . And these are just examples of

77:29 . I'm not gonna ask you what two are and if I do then

77:32 on me, ok, gonna pause for a second and then we're gonna

77:40 to these things. Any questions so . All right, what I want

77:44 to do is just know those definitions reasons, I guess because I had

77:48 memorize them. So you, how's ? All right. Last little bit

77:53 to do with the lungs ability to or to stretch. So compliance is

77:59 much effort does it require to stretch distend the lung? All right.

78:02 the last is how does it rebound ? Um, a terrible example of

78:06 is if you go into the back your sock drawer, you might find

78:09 sock that's probably older than five years you go grab that sock and you

78:13 your hand in it, you'll feel pla the, the elastic fibers kind

78:17 a broken down. And so they'll just fine, but it won't,

78:22 won't go back to its original So, what you'd say is it

78:25 failed elastin, right? The compliance would be, oh, you go

78:29 that sock drawer and you try to your hand into a sock and it

78:32 to stretch on you. All That's, that's what it is.

78:36 this is your lung responsiveness. And this is gonna be based on a

78:40 of different things, how much Elastin present. So, if you've destroyed

78:43 Elastin through smoking, it becomes much harder to breathe. Not because there's

78:49 Elastin is because you baked it And so you can't stretch your

78:52 And so it takes more work to your lung and then it takes more

78:55 to push it all back in. why you see people with uh COPD

79:01 because they're working to get the air and out of their bodies. They

79:05 to be the physical bellows as opposed allowing the muscles to naturally go back

79:09 place. The other one is surface . Surface tension has to do with

79:14 attractiveness of water mole molecules to other molecules. All right. So what's

79:21 happen is, is if you just water in the lungs, so think

79:24 the humidity just in the air you in, that air water goes into

79:28 lungs. If there's no surfactant, happens is, is the water molecule

79:31 attracted to each other and they carry them. The other things that they're

79:35 to, the other thing that they're to is the surface of the

79:39 So the surface of the alveoli. when water goes in there, it

79:42 causes the alveoli to collapse. Have ever have ever had to blow up

79:47 balloon for a party? Right? you're blowing, blowing, blowing,

79:51 accidentally let all the air out. like, damn it. Right.

79:54 if it didn't have cornstarch in what do you now have is a

79:57 that refuses to blow up at all all that air that you pushed in

80:01 with all that wet spit is now on the inside and it's like,

80:04 , look at me, I'm super . So what do you do?

80:06 just throw that balloon away and you all over again? You ever do

80:11 ? Ok? You need to get more. Go to a kid's

80:16 start blowing up balloons, right? can do your own party too.

80:20 ok. It doesn't have to be kid's party. But if you feel

80:23 blowing up balloons, there you All right. So the purpose of

80:27 surfactant is to counter the effect of polar bonds. In essence, what

80:32 is, is a bunch of lipids proteins. That are uh are inserted

80:37 between the water molecules. And when insert into the water molecules, what

80:42 up happening is, is the water no longer interact. And if the

80:45 can no longer interact, it no pulls the sides of the alveoli

80:49 So when you deflate, what happens you don't deflate and pancake out and

80:54 . Instead, you just kind of a little bit and you maintain that

80:59 structure. All right, when you that rounded structure, it's a lot

81:03 to expand. So again, think a balloon. If the balloon has

81:07 air in it, is it easier inflate? Yeah, apart from the

81:13 , once it's stretched out a little , it keeps going. So notice

81:16 when you do that balloon, what you do? You hold it like

81:17 and you're like, and you get first and you trapped there and then

81:22 like it doesn't take much more And that's what's going on inside the

81:27 . That's what the surfactant allow. maintains the partial shape so that you

81:34 reach equilibrium. The last little thing it does is that it affects um

81:39 how air moves between the LVO See, there's a rule, it's

81:42 the law of Laplace. I I don't know if I have it

81:45 the other slide. I don't. Yes, I do. It's

81:47 there is the equation right there. what it says is, there is

81:50 relationship between tension and rating and that's relationship again, you know, I'm

81:55 gonna, I'm not gonna ask you memorize the formula here, but basically

81:59 says the smaller the radius, the the, the inward pressure,

82:03 And so you can imagine if I two alveoli of, of equal size

82:07 of different sizes, the one that's is gonna drive air out of it

82:11 the larger one. Ok. And if I want to get air

82:15 that's gonna reduce surface area and if reduces surface area, that's bad.

82:21 , surf, what surfactant does? allows the air to equilibrate between the

82:25 different sizes. It modifies the tension those smaller vessels so that the tension

82:31 equal between the two spaces you preserve area. I caught us up.

82:38 means the last lecture is going to easy. All right guys, I

82:43 see you on Thursday. Let's let next class in as quickly as

82:47 If you have questions, email me come and see
