Week 9: Respiratory System:
View buffer animation (requires flash plugin)
(created in 2003 for honors chemistry 101 project at Howard Community
College under supervision of Dr. Brown)
View second buffer animation
(created for Intro to Animation class at UMBC)
1. Identify the following structures of the trachea using a prepared slide:
pseudostratified ciliated epithelium
hyaline cartilage rings
smooth muscle layer

2. Identify the following structures of the lung using a prepared slide:
bronchiole
alveolar duct
alveolar sac
alveoli
bronchus
Lung Tissue Slides:

Lung Tissue, Alveola 400X

Lung
1000X

Lung Emphysema 400X (alveoli are breaking down decreasing the overall surface
area of the lungs, reducing the efficiency of gas exchange)
3. Describe the role of muscle and volume changes during ventilation.
Smooth muscle constricts or dialates the bronchioles to control the volume of
gas to reach lung tissues
4. Define and describe the following pulmonary volumes and capacities:
•tidal volume
•inspiratory reserve volume
•expiratory reserve volume
•minute respiratory volume
•vital capacity
•total lung capacity
•inspiratory capacity
5. Be able to properly use a dry spirometer to measure the following pulmonary volumes:
•tidal volume
•expiratory reserve volume
•vital capacity
6. Be able to calculate inspiratory reserve volume and inspiratory capacity.
7. Be able to compare the effectiveness of standard buffers and the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffer system in the maintenance of plasma pH. Identify the mechanisms by which the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffer system works.
