The current Presentation is about Hypoxia, Asphyxia, Lung function tests, and Regulation of Respiration under the Physiology of the Respiratory System.

Obstruction of air passageways – Hypoxia + Hypercapnea
Seen in - Strangulation , Hanging, Drowning
3stages-
1) Stage of Hyperpnea
2) Stage of Convulsions
3) Stage of Collapse
Stage of Hyperpnea-upto 1min
Increased Respiratory rate initially
Dyspnea
Cyanosis
Asphyxia
8. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 8
Stage of Convulsions-less than 1min
Increased cardiac output
Increased FOC
Increased arterial blood pressure
Generalized convulsions
Stage of Collapse-upto 3min
Depressed respiratory centers in brain
Respiration through mouth-gasping
Dilation of pupils
Decreased heart rate
Loss of all reflexes
Fainting
Unconsciousness
Death
Asphyxia
9. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 9
Lung Function Test
Specially meant for assessing the functional status of respiratory
system in physiological and pathological conditions
2types-
1) Static
2) Dynamic
Static-
Based on the quantity wise volume of air that flows into or
out of lungs
Includes static lung volumes and static lung capacities
Static lung volumes
a) Tidal Volume
b) Inspiratory Reserve Volume
c) Expiratory Reserve Volume
d) Residual Volume
Static lung capacities
a) Vital Capacity
b) Inspiratory Capacity
c) Total Lung Capacity
d) Functional Residual Capacity
10. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 10
1) Tidal volume (TV)
Volume of air breath in and out of lungs in single quiet
respiration
Normal Value = 500ml
2) Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
Additional volume of air inspired forcefully after the end of
normal inspiration
Normal Value = 3300ml
3) Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
Additional volume of air expired forcefully after normal
expiration
Normal Value = 1000ml
Lung Function Test-Static Lung Tests

Lung Function Test-Static Lung Tests
4) Residual Volume (RV)
Volume of air remaining in lungs even after forced expiration
Normal Value = 1200ml
5) Vital Capacity (VC)
Maximum volume of air that can be expelled forcefully after deep
inspiration
VC = IRV + TV + ERV
Normal Value = 4800ml
6) Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
Maximum volume of air that can be inspired after normal
expiration
IC = TV + IRV
Normal Value = 3800ml
12. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 12
7) Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
Volume of air present in lungs after deep inspiration
TLC = IRV + TV + ERV + RV
Normal Value = 6000ml
8) Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)
Volume of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration
FRC = ERV + RV
Normal Value = 2200ml
Lung Function Test-Static Lung Tests
13. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 13
1) Vital capacity (VC)
Maximum volume of air that can be expelled out of lungs
forcefully after a deep inspiration
VC = IRV + TV + ERV
Normal Value = 4800ml
2) Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
Volume of air that can be exhaled forcefully and rapidly after a
deep inspiration
Normal Value = normally FVC is equal to VC
3) Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV) OR
Time Vital Capacity
Volume of air expired forcefully in a given unit of time after
deep inspiration

1) Neural Control 2) Chemical Control
Neural control-
Neural centres - Afferent Pathway - Efferent Pathway
Medullary centres-
i. Dorsal group of neurons-
• Situation- Nr Nucleus Tractus Solitarius
• Function-
Set Inspiratory ramp
Autorhtymic property
Controls inspiration
ii. Ventral group of neurons-
• Situation- N. Ambigous & N. Retroambigous
• Function-
Expiratory centre
Controls Inspiration & Expiration
Regulation Of Respiration-
15. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 15
Pontine centres-
i. Apneustic centre-
• Situation- Reticular formation of lower pons
• Function-
Controls inspiration via dorsal group of neurons
ii. Pneumotaxic centre-
• Situation- Reticular formation of upper pons
• Function-
Controls medullary respiratory centres
Specific dorsal group of neurons
Controls respiration
Regulation Of Respiration-
16. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 16
Regulation Of Respiration-
Any Chemical & Physical imbalance
Activation of Chemo, Baro and Stretch Receptors
Impulses sent via Afferent Nerves –
Glossopharyngeal N & Vagus N
Activation of Central Nuclear centers
Impulses sent to effectors via Efferent Nerves –
Phrenic N supplying Diaphragm
Impulses sent to effectors via Intercoastal N supplies
External Intercoastal Muscles

Nervous Connections of Respiratory System –
17. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 17
Regulation Of Respiration-
Factors affecting respiratory centers-
1) Impulses from higher centers (Cerebral Cortex)
2) Impulses from Stretch receptors (Over Lung tissues)
3) Impulses from J receptors (Alveolar wall)
4) Impulses from Irritant receptors (Bronchi & Bronchioles)
5) Impulses from Baroreceptors (Carotid sinus & Arch of Aorta)
6) Impulses from Chemoreceptors
7) Impulses from Propriorecptors (Joints, Tendons, Muscles)
8) Impulses from Thermoreceptors (Subcutaneous tissue)
9) Impulses from Nociceptors
Ultimate effects of activation of above centers / receptors is -
Hyperventilation
Bronchospasm
18. Dr.Aniket A Shilwant 18
Regulation Of Respiration-
Chemical control-
Chemoreceptors gets stimulated when-
1) Hypoxia
2) Hypercapnea
3) Increased H+ ions concentration
Types of chemoreceptors-
1) Central chemoreceptors
2) Peripheral chemoreceptors
