- the lungs remove oxygen from air for
- invention offers a way to lower mucus secretion rates and cause dilation of the bronchial tree.
- the airways of the lungs begin at the trachea (wind pipe) and move downward where
- the "C" is open posteriorly where the bronchial
- Bronchi are muscular and can change their lumen (inside) diameter in response to certain stimuli including input from the brain.
- the terminal bronchi divide into respiratory
- bronchioles which now have occasional alveoli budding from their walls. Finally, the bronchioles lead to the alveolar ducts that are fully lined with alveoli.
- Alveoli or an alveolus, are tiny sac-like structures where the exchange of oxygen and
- the bronchi and air-sacs operate within both lungs.
- the right lung has 3 lobes and the
- left lung has 2 lobes.
- This respiratory system has essentially 2 functions, which are ventilation and gas exchange.
- the mechanics of breathing consist of inspiration (breathing in) and expiration (breathing out).
- the driving force for ventilation is the pressure difference between
- the alveoli are of 2 types.
- Type I has the shape of a fried egg but with long

- the diaphragm can move up to 10 cm.
- the diaphragm is a sheet-shaped muscle which separates the thoriac cavity from the abdominal cavity. Its contraction and relaxation account
- movements are controlled by electrical nerve signals or waveforms traveling from the brain to
- the afferent and efferent nerves travel together and are assisted by afferent lower
- the fourth nerve plays a major role in operating the diaphragm via

- Additional afferent nerves that arise from sensors that measure blood chemistry act as
- chemoreceptors located at the bifurcation of the carotid arteries in the neck and also at the
- thermal receptors respond to the brain on heat or cold status of the various
- proprioceptors (a kind of deep sensing related to muscle and tendons) which coordinate
- the central nervous system (brain) nerves involved in breathing are the second, third, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, and the important tenth (vagus).
- the first cranial nerve supplies olfactory information and the second and third nerves are related to inputs from the eyes as afferent sensors which integrate what the body is perceiving from outside and demands faster or slower breathing rates or even holding ones breath.
- the eighth cranial nerve provides
- the various afferent sensory systems provide information as to how
