3. Introduction
Respiration is the process of
inhaling and exhaling air, including
oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Oxygen is the most critical
requirement of life support for an
animal, which can only survive a
few minutes without it.
4. Major functions of the respiratory
system:
• Providing oxygen to tissues and
cells;
• Removing carbon dioxide from the
body;
• Controlling body temperature;
• Eliminating water (as vapor); and
• Aiding in voice production.
5. The respiratory system consists of
the nostrils, nasal cavity (chamber),
pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial
tubes, and lungs.
6. Anatomy of the
Respiratory System
The organs of the respiratory system
are divided into two parts:
• Upper respiratory tract - extends
from the nasal opening to the
pharynx, and
• Lower respiratory tract - extends
from the larynx to the lungs.
8. The muzzle, which holds the
nostrils, is made up of the nose
and lips on most domestic animals.
The nostrils are the external
openings of the respiratory tract
through which air passes during
the breathing process.
9. Cattle and sheep muzzles do not
contain oil glands, but do contain
sweat glands.
Cattle with dry muzzles are often
feverish.

10. A hard palate and a soft palate
separate the nasal cavity from the
mouth.
The nasal cavity is divided into two
halves by cartilage and connects
the nostrils to the pharynx.
11. The nasal passages are lined with a
membrane of epithelial cells which
are covered by thousands of cilia.
Mucous coats the epithelial cells
and cilia to create an air-filtering
system that also moistens and
warms the air to protect the other
respiratory structures.
12. The nasal passages contain olfactory
receptors in the turbinate bones.
These olfactory receptors are
involved with the sense of smell.
13. Sinuses, which are air-filled cavities
in the forehead bones, are connected
to the nasal cavity.
The frontal sinuses extend to the
horn cores in cattle and may become
exposed to the atmosphere when
mature cattle are dehorned.
If foreign materials fall into these
openings, sinus infections may occur.
14. Air flows from the nasal cavity to
the pharynx, which is a short,
funnel-shaped tube.
The nasal cavity, mouth, eustachian
tubes (from middle ear), esophagus
and larynx empty into the pharynx,
which is lined with a mucous
membrane and ciliated cells.
15. Both food and air pass through the
pharynx, but the epiglottis keeps
them from passing through at the
same time.
The epiglottis is a valve-like flap of
tissue, above the trachea, that
closes the air passage when the
animal swallows feed or water to
prevent them from entering the
trachea and lungs.
16. Lower Respiratory Tract
The lower
respiratory
tract includes
the larynx,
trachea,
bronchial
tubes, and
lungs.
17. The larynx, commonly known as
the “voice box,” is responsible for
voice production, control of
breathing, and preventing
inhalation of foreign objects into
the lungs.
The larynx is composed of five
cartilage structures.
18. The parts of the larynx are:
• Thyroid cartilage – commonly
called the “Adam’s Apple,”
• Arytenoid cartilages – two
cartilages that assist in closing the
epiglottis and control the pitch of
the voice by tightening or loosening
the vocal chords, and
19. • Cricoid cartilage – helps maintain
shape of the larynx and is a site of
muscle attachment.
20. The trachea (windpipe) is a tube
composed of a series of adjacent
cartilage rings, which are rigid to
prevent collapsing of the trachea.
As a single tube, the trachea goes
from the larynx to a level just above
the base of the heart.
21. The trachea divides into two branches
called the primary bronchi.
Each bronchi passes into a lung,
where they branch out even further
into bronchioles.
The trachea, bronchi, and the first few
bronchioles, lined with mucous
membranes and ciliated cells,
contribute to cleansing the passing air.
22. The bronchioles divide many more
times into smaller branches called
intralobular bronchioles, terminal
bronchioles, and respiratory
bronchioles.
The respiratory bronchioles end
with the smallest and final air
passageways of the respiratory
system, the alveoli.
23. Alveoli are tiny air sacs surrounded by
capillaries (tiny blood vessels of the
circulatory system).
Oxygen and carbon dioxide move
through the walls of the alveoli and
capillaries via a process called
diffusion.
Diffusion is also responsible for the
exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide between the body cells and
24. Diffusion is a process of passive
transport, whereby particles or
molecules move from areas of high
concentration to areas of low
concentration.
Inhaled air has a high concentration of
oxygen (O2) and a lower concentration
of carbon dioxide (CO2), while the blood
in the capillaries around the alveoli has
high CO2 and low O2 concentrations.
25. O2 diffuses from the alveoli into the
capillaries and attaches to the
hemoglobin in red blood cells.
CO2 diffuses from the blood into the
alveoli.

26. Mammals’ lungs are made of
elastic, spongy material that greatly
expands when filled with air.
Lungs are cone-shaped and
incompletely divided into lobes.
The bronchi, pulmonary artery,
pulmonary vein, nerves, and lymph
vessels connect to the lungs at the
same location.
27. When lungs are expanded to total
capacity, they completely fill the
thoracic (chest) cavity.
Once an animal takes its first breath,
the lungs will never completely
collapse and will float in water.
If a newborn’s lungs sink, it was
born dead.
28. Physiology of the
Respiratory System
The primary function of the lungs is
the exchange of gases, O2 and CO2.
The exchange of gases between the
alveoli and capillaries is called
external respiration because it
occurs outside the animal’s body.
29. The exchange of gases between
the capillaries and the body cells is
called internal respiration because
it occurs inside the animal’s body.
30. Inspiration is the inhaling of air.
When the diaphragm contracts
and the thoracic cavity enlarges,
a vacuum is created that expands
the lungs and draws in air.
31. Quiet respiration, which is also
called abdominal or diaphragmatic
respiration, occurs mainly as a
result of the diaphragm contracting
to pull in air.
Labored respiration involves the
contraction of the external
intercostal (rib) muscles, which
increases the capacity of the
thorax.
32. When carbon monoxide is
inhaled, it bonds with the iron in
hemoglobin and prevents the
transport of oxygen.
This carbon monoxide “poisoning”
results in death, caused by the
lack of oxygen.
34. Artificial respiration might be
helpful, if breathing stops,
especially in cases of newborns,
animals struck by lightening, or
animals overdosed with
anesthetics or tranquilizers.
36. Expiration, or exhaling of air, is
accomplished by the relaxation of the
diaphragm muscles and contraction
of the internal intercostal muscles.
The upward movement of the viscera
(due to diaphragm relaxing) and the
down and inward movement of the
ribs (due to intercostals contracting)
reduces the size of the thoracic cavity
and forces air out of the lungs.
37. Nerve cells in the medulla control
respiratory rates.
The inspiratory nerves stimulate
muscle contraction for inspiration
or inhaling.
The expiratory nerves stimulates
relaxation of the muscles for
expiration or exhaling.
38. The pneumotaxic nerves are
stimulated by the inspiratory center
during inspiration and, in turn,
stimulate the expiratory center to
cause expiration.
39. Several factors influence the rate at
which the brain stimulates
breathing, including:
• Carbon dioxide content of the
blood,
• Body temperature, and
• Messages from other parts of
the brain.
40. An increase in the concentrations
of carbon dioxide increases the
acidity of the blood, which causes
the respiration rate to increase.
An increase in body temperature
triggers the respiration rate to
increase.
