ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY (RESPIRATION)
Respiration
+ Approcess in which oxidation of organic compounds occurs in the cell and energy is released is called as respira
tion,
Stages of Respiration ~ According to scientist G.S, Carter there are three stages in respiration
i) External Respiration (Ventilation) — Gaseous exchange between environment and lung.
(i
Internal Respiration —
(1) Gaseous exchange between lungs and blood.
(2) Gaseous exchange between blood and tissue fluid
(iii) Cetlular Respiration — Oxidation of organic compounds in the cell by which eneray is released,
STRUCTURE OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
(1) Respiratory Tract (Conducting zone)
(2) Lungs (Exchange zone)
Respiratory tract — A passage from external nostils to lungs
or
—A passage by which air enters into the kings
Lungs ~ Anatomical organ which is the actual site for the exchange of gases.

Human respiratory system
1. Nose and Nasal- passage
+ The respiratory path begins from the Nose and the Nasal passage.
+ This part contains hair and sebaceous glands, In this manner the dust particles can not enter in,
+ The nasal-passege is long and spiral. It helps in making the temperature of air equal to the body temperature
before it reaches the lungs and does not allow unwanted materials like dust to reach the lungs,

2. Bucco-pharyngeal cavity
It is divided into two parts. Anterior part Is called the Buecal-cavity and the posterior partis called Pharyngeal-
cavity,
Pharyns is the only part where food and air passage mix together.
3. Larynx (voice producing organ)
It is present in anterior part of the trachea so It Is considered as modification of trachea.
4. Trachea
Itisa 10-12 cm long tube like structure present in complete length of neck upto anterior part of thoracic cavity
lin complete length of trachea 16-20 'C’ shaped rings are present which prevents trachea from collapsing.
5. Bronchial tree (B. T.) & Respiratory Tree (R. T.)
When trachea enters inio thoracic cavity, it divides in two branches called as primary bronchus. Branches of
primary bronchus upto terminal bronchioles makes bronchial tree.
Volume of air which is filed in B.T. is a part of dead space volume. which doesn't take a part in gaseous

6. Lungs
+ Apair of lungs are present in the thoracic-cavity. Lungs are covered by a double-membrane which fs called the
Pleural-membranes. Outer membrane Is the Parietal Pleura and the inner-membrane is
Visceralpleura. Both these membranes are derived from the mesoderm, In between both the membranes, a
very narrow cavity called Pleural-cavity 1s present. In this cavity. a very thin layer of pleural fluid Is present fabout
150 mi. Sometimes due to bacterial infection, the amount of this fluid increases. So, the organism feels difficulty
in breathing (dyspnoea). This is termed as pleuricy or pleural effusion disease. In human being right hung is
made up of 3 lobes & left lung is made up of 2 lobes,
7. Alveoli
+ Structural & functional unit of lungs is called alveoli
+ Approximately 300 million alveoli are present in both lung. Inner (alveolar) surface area of both the lungs is
approximately 100 m?, Wall of alveoli consist of two layers, outer layer is composed of yellow fibrous C.T., and
inner layer is composed of simple squamous epithelium,
+ Squamous cells are called as pneumocytes.
+ Adense network of blood capillaries is found in alveol:
+ These blood capillaries come frotn pulmonary artery. Pulmonary artery divides into blood capillaries alter reaching
in hings. All these capillaries combine to form pulmonary vein at the another end. These veins carry pure blood
to the left auricle of the heart, There are small pores present in the walls of alveoli, These pores make diffusion
of gases easy. These pores ate called pores of Kohn, Itis the characterstic feature of mammalian lungs that
there is no central cavity. Marnmalian lungs are solid and spongy.
MECHANISM OF BREATHING
+ Inspiration and expiration are included in breathing,
Inspiration ;- At the time of inspiration, contraction of diaphragm and external intercostal muscles takes place,
‘+ Diaphragm becomes flat and is pushed towards abdominal cavity.
+ Ribs move towards outside, As a result ofall these reactions, the volume of the thoracic cavily is increased. Due
to the spongy nature, lungs expand. As a result of this, air pressure in the lungs is decreased by 1-3 mm mercury
column as compared to the atmospheric pressure. Now alr rushes from outside through respiratory track and fills
the lungs. Inspiration is an active process. Normally it takes around 2 seconds.

Expiration
‘+ Normal expiration is a passive activity. It takes around 3 seconds. During expiration, contraction (in any muscle)
does not take place, During expiration, relaxation in diaphragm and external intercostal anuscles takes place.

TRANSPORT OF GASES IN BLOOD
Transport of oxygen
‘As muich oxygen comes in the blood from air, itis approximately 3% dissolves in the blood plasma, Remaining
97% oxygen combines with haemoglobin to form oxvhaemoglobin. One molecule of haemoglobin combines
with 4 molecules of oxygen
1 gm of haemoglobin transports 1.34 ml of oxygen,
100 ml (1 dL) of blood contains normally 15 gm of haemoglobin, so 100 ml blood transports approximately 20
iil of oxygen.
At the time oxyhaemoglobin reaches upto the tissues, tt dissociates. O, freed from it goes into the tissue fluid
from blood. In place of it, CO, from tissue fluid comes into the blood. This gaseous exchange between blood and
tissue Is called internal respiration or tissue respiration, It is also done by simple diffusion
Transport of Carbon dioxide
‘The blood transports carbon dioxide comparatively easily because of its higher solubility. There are three ways of
transport of carbon dioxide by which 100 ml of blood manages to deliver about 4 to 4,2 ml of carbon dioxide to
the alveoli
(2) In dissolved state : Approximately 5-7 per cent of carbon dioxide is transported, being dissolved in the
plasma of blood. Hence 0.3 ml of carbon dioxide is transported per 100 ml of blood plasina,
(b) In the form of bicarbonate : Carbon dioxide produced by the tissues, diffuses passively into the blood
stream and passes into the red blood corpuscles, where it reacts with water to form carbonic acid (H,CO,). This
reaction is catalysed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase found in the erythrocytes and takes less than one second
to complete the process.
(©) In combination with amine group of protein : Besides the above two methods, carbon dioxide reacts
directly with the amine radicals (NH,) of haemoglobin molecule and forms a carbaminohaemoglobin
{HHb.NHCOOH) molecule, This combination of carbon dioxide with haemoglobin is a reversible reaction,
Neatly 23 percent of carbon dloxide is transported through this mode.
Gaseous Exchange in Lungs From atorola overuse
mmanigo, Atinkng 108m 90,
Alveoli are the primary sites for exchange of gases, Exchange emit, Avecks Om HgcO,
of gases also takes between blood and tissues. Exchang ¢ of
gases in the lungs is done between alveolar air and arterial
blood. Gaseous exchange is a passive activity, It is held by
simple diffusion, Diffusion pressure for every gas in blood
orin air) is called partial pressure, At the time of diffusion
«gases move from high partial pressure to low partial pressure.
The partial pressure of O,, in alveolar air [P,,] is 104 mm
mercury column, its value in arterial blood is 40. mm
mercury column (Hg). So oxygen goes from alveolar air to
arterial air.
In aleolar air, the partial pressure of CO, [Po,] is 40 min
Hg and its value in arterial blood is 45-46 mm Hg
So CO, moves from arterial blood to alveoll. In this way.
according to partial pressure exchange of gases takes place
in the lungs.

Respiratory Disorders
Asthma is a clficulty in breathing which causes wheezing due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles
Emphysema is a chronic disorder in which alveolar walls are damaged due to which respiratory surface is
decreased. One of the major cause of this is cigarette smoking
Occupational Respiratory Disorders: in certain industries, especially those involving grinding or stone-
breaking, so much dust is produced that the defense mechanism of the body cannot fully cope with the situation,
Long exposure can give rise to inflammation leading to fibrosis (proliferation of fibrous tissues) and thus causing
serious lung damage. Workers in such industries should wear protective masks.
SOME TERMS RELATED TO RESPIRATION
1. Eupnoea -- [tis the state of normal breathing, [n man, the rate of normal breathing is 12-16 per minute, in
infants, rate of breathing is 44 per minute, Rate of breathing is slowest while sleeping.
2. Bradypnoea or Hyponoea ~ It is the state of slow breathing
3. Tachypnoea or hypernoea «It is the state of fast breathing

Making ATP by Phosphorylation
{ATP ts energy currency of cell, it breaks to form ADP and (P)) and releases energy)
In the cell, ATP is made by adeing a phosphate group to a molecule of ADP. This is phosphorylation. This
requires energy. Hence energy is stored in ATP this way ; it is carried out in two different ways.
‘Substrate level phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation
1. Substrate level phosphorylation : Is the process in which a phosphate group from a substrate molecule
fa mokeule other than ATP, ADP or AMP} is transfered to a molecule of ADP. giving a new molecule of
ATP. This form of phosphorylation occurs in glycolysis and Kreb’s cycle.
2. Oxidation phosphorylation : ATP is synthesize using free phosphate group. The eneray ts required
in this process. The energy required is obtained from the series of oxidation reactions. The process is complex
and occurs at intemal membrane of mitochondrion (cristae) where electron transport chain is present.
+ Firstly breaking of NADH & PADH, takes place to form NAD and FAD and releases H* and electrons. Electrons
are accepted by the electron acceptors (cartier molecules) in electron transport chain, Finally at the end
of electron transport chain, electrons are accepted by oxygen and it gets reduced which then combines with
H? ions to form H,O, The electron transport chain consist of a series of carrier molecule, which first accepts
an electron (reduced) and then looses it again (oxidised) and the eneray is lost by the eleciton at each transfer
which can be used to power the active transport of H’ across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
‘+ This result in high conc of H* in outer mitrochondrion space and a low con
in the inner mitochondrial space.
+ Because of this cone. difference, hydrogen ions leaks back to inner compartment. The only route that they
have is through miclle of stalked granules ATPase enzyme.
+ Asthe stream of hydrogen ions flows down the cone. gralient, enough energy is released to allow free inorganic
phosphate molecules to be added to ADP to form ATP,
‘+ This is called chemiosmotic hypothesis & was proposed by Peter Mitchell (1961). He received the Nobel
prize in chemistry in (1978).

NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FAD (flavine adenine dinucleotide) are Coenzyme, organic
compounds that catalysis reaction. As their name implies, coenzymes works closely with enzymes. Unlike enzyme
they are not proteins.
NAD and FAD camties electrons from electron donors in glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation (link reaction) and
Kreb's cycle to electron acceptors in the electron transport chain in mitochondrial membrane. When NAD
and FAD accept electron, they become reduced and becomes NADH and FADH,, In this form they are reduced
co-enzymes, This reduction always requires dehydrogenase enzyme. Dehyclrogenase enzyme removes H"
from other molecules and spilt H into H* and election, NAD and FAD accepts electrons and H* plays an
important role in the electron transport chain, combines with oxygen to form HO. In Human body NAD is
synthesied from Vit. B, (nicotinic acid) and FAD from vit. B, (riboflavin).
NAD delivers its electrons to a higher energy level in the chain then does FAD. As a result NAD will provide 50%
more energy for ATP synthesis than FAD reach NAD produces 3ATP while cach FAD produces 2ATP

In practise, the figure is usually 36 molecules of ATP. Because the mitochondrial membrane ts impermeable
to NADH, the 2 molecules & NADH formed during glycolysis in the cytosol cannot carry their electrons directly
into the electron transport chain. To get over this most cells have a shuttle system in which electron released
by the NADH and passed across the mitochondrial membrane where they are picked up by FADH,. As we
saw earlier, FADH, only produces 2ATPs compared with 3 mace by NADH, thus reclucing the final total (38)

105. Raju Sharma, a 101 standard student participated in 100 meter sprint. During running he developed
painful muscle contraction and fell down, The physical education teacher rushed to him and gave a hot
water massage. Raju Sharma slowly recovered from the cramp. The teacher explained the physiology
behind the cramp and the sudsequent relief. Identify the right explanation. [2016]
{(1) Because of the quick movement, the muscles looses its elasticity and are stressed. The inflammation
developed during this process causes cramp. Alter hot water massage the inflammation subsides
and the pain gets relieved,
(2) During vigorous physical activity, aerobic respiration in the muscles increases which leads to the
accumulation of more CO, in the muscles. This causes cramps. Later CO, was relieved upon hot
water massage resulting in pain relief.
{3} During vigorous physical activity, lactic acid accumulates in the muscles due to anaerobic respira-
tion, This causes the cramps. Hot water massage improves the circulation of blood and O, in the
muscles. As a result lactic acid is converted into CO, and water, Thus the pain gets relieved.
{4) During quick movements, the nerves will not co-operate with the muscles. There isa stimulus which
is taken to spinal cord and the effector function was done by motor neurons which cause cramp.
On hol water massage the stimulus was subsided. Thus the pain gets relieved
