Appendix
Biological Control System
• Series of interconnected components that maintain a
physical or chemical parameter at a near constant
value
• Components
– Sensor or receptor :
• Detects changes in variable
– Control center:
• Assesses input and initiates response
– Effector:
• Changes internal environment back to normal
– Ex) Withdrawal reflex : sensory stimuli (painful), spinal
cord, motor output (withdraw)
Appendix
3-1. Negative Feedback
• Response reverses the initial disturbance in
homeostasis
• Example:
1. Increase in extracellular CO2 triggers a receptor
2. Sends information to respiratory control center
3. Respiratory muscles are activated to increase
breathing
4. CO2 concentration returns to normal
• Most control systems work via negative
feedback
Chemosensory CO2 receptor
Reticular formation of brain stem
Appendix
3-2. Positive Feedback
• Response increases the original stimulus
• Example:
1. Initiation of childbirth stimulates receptors in
cervix
2. Sends message to brain
3. Release of oxytocin from post. pituitary gland
4. Oxytocin promotes increased uterine contractions
Appendix
Thermoregulatory
system
• To maintain a relatively
constant internal body
temperature
• Consists of three primary
components;
① Thermo-receptors
② Regulating center
③ Effector organs
Thermoreceptors
• Provide input to the temperature regulating
center located in the hypothalamus
• Peripheral and central thermoreceptors
Peripheral; free nerve ending in the skin,
abdominal organs, and nervous system
Central; hypothalamus
Regulating center
• Located in the hypothalmus
Coordinate the heat production and loss processes
By influencing the effector organs, maintain a
balance
In healthy individual, hypothalamus is set at 98.6
degree F (37℃)
Effector organs
• Vascular, metabolic, skeletal muscle responses
(shivering), and sweating
• Effectors systems function either to increase or
to dissipate body heat
① Conservation and production of body heat
② Loss of body heat
Conservation and production of body heat
• Vasoconstriction of blood vessels
Hypothalamus → sympathetic n. ↑ → vasocontriction
• Decease of sweat gland activity
Prevent heat loss by evaporation
• Cutis anserina or piloerection (기모, 털세움)
Trap a layer of insulating air near the skin (공기 가두기(절연))
• Shivering
Hypothalamus → muscle tone ↑ → heat production
• Hormonal regulations
Hormonal activity → cellular metabolism ↑ → body heat ↑
Loss of body heat
• Radiation (방사)
• Conduction (전도):
• Convection (대류)
• Evaporation (증발)

Introduction
• Respiration
1. Pulmonary respiration
Ventilation (환기)
Exchange of O2 and CO2 in the lungs
2. Cellular respiration
O2 utilization and CO2 production by the tissues
Introduction
• Purposes of the respiratory system during
exercise
– Gas exchange between the environment and the
body
– Regulation of acid-base balance during exercise
Maintain the Homeostasis of blood gas (PO2 & PCO2)
1. Function of the Lung
• Main purpose
Gas exchange between the external environment and the body
• Replacing O2
• Removing CO2
• Regulation of acid-base balance
How to do ?
• Ventilation
• Diffusion
1. Function of the Lung
• Ventilation
– Mechanical process of moving air into and out of lungs
• Diffusion
– Random movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
– Fast : ↑ surface area & ↓ diffuse length
– High efficiency
• PO2 & PCO2 in pulmonary vein = PO2 & PCO2 in lung
2. Structure of the Respiratory System
• Organs
1. Nose & nasal cavities
2. Pharynx & larynx
3. Trachea & bronchial tree
4. Lungs
• Alveoli (폐포)
– Site of gas exchange
• Diaphragm
– Major muscle of inspiration
2. Structure of the Respiratory System
• Lungs are enclosed by membranes called pleura(흉막)
1. Visceral pleura (inner)
• On outer surface of lung
2. Parietal pleura (outer)
• Lines the thoracic wall
3. Intrapleural space
• Intrapleural pressure is lower than atmospheric
– Prevents collapse of alveoli
Atmosphere (기압; atm)
• Flow direction: ↑→ ↓
2-1. Conducting and Respiratory Zones
Conducting zone
• Conducts air to respiratory
zone
• Humidifies, warms, and
filters air
• Components:
– Trachea
– Bronchial tree
– Bronchioles
Respiratory zone
• Exchange of gases between
air and blood
• Components:
– Respiratory bronchioles
– Alveolar sacs
• Surfactant prevents
alveolar collapse
2-2. Conducting zone
• Tidal volume (호흡량)
– Previous : 1st = nose
– 20~30 L / min
– Post : 1st = mouse
1. Nose & nasal cavities
2. Pharynx & larynx
– Epiglottis(후두덮개)
3. Trachea & bronchial tree
4. Lungs
The role of conducting zone in the
respiratory system
• A passageway for air (공기 전도)
• Functions to humidity and filter the air as it
moves toward the respiratory zone of the lung
(습기 첨가 및 여과기능)
– Regardless of the temperature or humidity of the
environment, the air that reaches the lung is
warmed and is saturated with water vapor.
2-2. Conducting zone
• Protective mechanism
– Filter the expired gas
• 2 principles
1. Cilia (섬모)
• Direct to mouse
• Drainage through mouse
• 1~2 cm / min
• Tabacco : make to stop the function of cilia
2. Macrophages (phagocytosis)
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-
scientists-are-blaming-cilia-for-human-disease/
2-3. Respiratory zone
• Diffusion ↑
– ① ↑ surface area & ② ↓ diffuse length
1. 300 million alveolars : 60~80 m2 (the size of tennis court)
2. Thin the blood-gas barrier : only one cell layer
Respiration
• Respiratory rate
– Measurement of breathing rate
• Respiratory cycle
– One inspiration
– Subsequent expiration
3. Mechanics of Breathing
• Movement of air occurs via bulk flow
– Movement of molecules due to pressure difference
1. Inspiration
– Diaphragm pushes downward, ribs lift outward
– Volume of lungs increases
– Intrapulmonary pressure lowered
2. Expiration
– Diaphragm relaxes, ribs pulled downward
– Volume of lungs decreases
– Intrapulmonary pressure raised
3-1. Inspiration
• Diaphragm
– Primary ms
– Phrenic n. : C3-C5
– During normal, quiet breathing : most of work
• Support ms (during Ex.)
– Pec minor
– Intercostalis
– SCM
– Scalenius : TP of C2~7 → 1st & 2nd ribs
Respiratory Impairments in SCI
• Loss of ventilatory muscle function – Denervation, chest wall injury, lung injury
• Direct relationship between level of SCI and degree of respiratory dysfunction
• C1-C3 lesions are ventilator or phrenic nerve stimulator dependent
• C1-C2: vital capacity is 5-10% of normal, no cough reflex
• C3-C6: vital capacity is 20%, cough is weak and ineffective
• T2-T4: vital capacity is 30-50%, weak cough
• T11: with minimal respiratory dysfunction
• Above C4 / Below C4 (Phrenic nerve at diaphragm. Intercostal muscle impaired)
3-2. Expiration

The Cardiac Cycle
1. Systole
– Contraction phase
– Ejection of blood • ~2/3 blood is ejected from ventricles per beat
2. Diastole
– Relaxation phase
– Filling with blood
• Synusium structure : atriums & ventricles
• At rest, diastole longer than systole
• During exercise, both systole and diastole are shorter
Pressure Changes During the
Cardiac Cycle
• Diastole
– Pressure in ventricles is low
– Filling with blood from atria • AV valves open when ventricular P < atrial P
• Systole
– Pressure in ventricles rises
– Blood ejected in pulmonary and systemic circulation • Semilunar valves open when ventricular P > aortic P
• Heart sounds
– First: closing of AV valves
– Second: closing of aortic and pulmonary valves
Blood Pressure
• Measure of vascular resistance to blood flow
= The force the blood exerts against a vessel wall
• Two values
– 1st value : systolic pressure (the highest pressure)
– 2nd value : diastolic pressure (the lowest pressure)
• Pulse pressure
– Mathematical difference between the systolic and
diastolic pressure
– 120/80
• Pulse pressure 40mmHg
Arterial Blood Pressure
• Blood pressure (BP)
– The force exerted by blood against the arterial walls
– Determination : how much blood is pumped and the
resistance to blood flow
• BP measurements
– On Artery
– Sphygmomanometer
MAP = DBP + 0.33(SBP – DBP)
Arterial Blood Pressure
• Expressed as systolic/diastolic
– Normal is 120/80 mmHg (male) / 110/70 mmHg (female)
• Systolic pressure (SBP)
– Pressure generated during ventricular contraction
• Diastolic pressure (DBP)
– Pressure in the arteries during cardiac relaxation
• Pulse pressure
– Difference between systolic and diastolic
• Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
– Average pressure in the arteries
Hypertension
• Blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg
• Primary (essential) hypertension
– Cause unknown
– 90% cases of hypertension
• Secondary hypertension
– result of some other disease process
• Risk factor for:
– Left ventricular hypertrophy
– Atherosclerosis and heart attack
– Kidney damage
– Stroke
– DM
• Character : Lt. ventricle hypertrophy
Ex) Atherosclerosis • Is most common form of
arteriosclerosis
(hardening of arteries)
– Accounts for 50% of
deaths in US
• Localized plaques
(atheromas) reduce flow
in an artery
– And act as sites for
thrombus (blood clots)
13-79
Factors that Influence Arterial
Blood Pressure • Determinants of mean arterial pressure
– Cardiac output
– Total vascular resistance
1. Short-term regulation
– Sympathetic nervous system
– Baroreceptors in aorta and carotid arteries • Increase in BP = increased SNS activity
• Decrease in BP = decreased SNS activity
2. Long-term regulation
– Kidneys • Via control of blood volume
MAP = cardiac output x total vascular resistance
BP changes following Postures,
Exercise and Temperature 1. Posture
– Sitting
– Standing : ↑
– Supine : ↓
2. Exercise
– Pre
– Post-immediately : ↑↑
– Post-5min : ↑
3. Temperature
– Ice (↑) or Hot (↓)
Factors Influencing Blood Pressure
• Blood volume
• Diameter or elasticity of arteries
• Cardiac output
• Age
• Exercise
• Valsalva maneuver
• Postural(orthostatic) Hypotension
• Arm position
• Fear, anxiety, emotional stress
• High sodium intake, obesity and being overweight, sedentary lifestyle, heavy alcohol consumption, pregnancy, gender, race, heredity
Classification of Blood Pressure for
Adults Ages 18 Years and Older BP Classification Systolic BP
(mmHg) Diastolic BP (mmHg)
Normal <120 <80
Prehypertension 120-139 80-89
Hypertension Stage 1 Stage 2
140-159 ⊇160
90-99 ⊇100
•Until age 55 men have a greater risk for high BP than women
•Between 55 and 75 years of age the relative risks are comparable
•After age 75 women are at greater risk
Korotkoff’s Sounds
Phase Description
I The first faint, clear tapping sounds are detected and gradually increase in their intensity. These sounds are the initial indication of systolic pressure in an adult, according to the American Heart Association.
II The sounds heard have a murmur or swishing quality to them.
III The sounds become crisp and louder than those previously heard.
IV There is a distinct and abrupt muffling of the sounds until a soft, blowing quality is heard. This phase is the initial indicator of diastolic pressure and is the best indicator of diastolic pressure in adults, according to the American Heart Association.
V The sounds essentially disappear totally; the phase is also referred to as the “second diastolic pressure phase.”
Electrical Activity of the Heart
• Contraction of the heart depends on electrical
stimulation of the myocardium
• Conduction system
1. Sinoatrial node (SA node)
• Pacemaker, initiates depolarization
2. Atrioventricular node (AV node)
• Passes depolarization to ventricles
• Brief delay to allow for ventricular filling
3. Bundle Branches
• To left and right ventricle
4. Purkinje fibers
• Throughout ventricles
Heart muscle characters
• Structural characters
– 2 types : contractile cell & conducting cell
– Contractile cell : atrium & ventricle
– Functional syncytium
• Like one cell
• Functional characters
– Rhythmicity = automatism
– Excitability
– Conductivity
– Contractility
– All or none
– Refractory period : non-fatigue
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Records the electrical activity of the heart
• P wave
– Atrial depolarization
• QRS complex
– Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
• T wave
– Ventricular repolarization
• ECG abnormalities may indicate coronary heart disease
– ST-segment depression can indicate myocardial ischemia
Diagnostic Use of the ECG During
Exercise
• Graded exercise test to evaluate cardiac function
– Observe ECG during exercise
– Also observe changes in blood pressure
• Atherosclerosis
– Fatty plaque that narrows coronary arteries
– Reduces blood flow to myocardium
• Myocardial ischemia
• S-T segment depression
– Suggests myocardial ischemia
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) • Is a recording of electrical activity of heart
conducted thru ions in body to surface
Types of ECG Recordings
• Bipolar leads record voltage between electrodes placed on wrists and legs (right leg is ground)
• Lead I records between right arm and left arm
• Lead II: right arm and left leg
• Lead III: left arm and left leg
Types of ECG Recordings continued
• Unipolar leads record voltage between a single electrode placed on body and ground built into ECG machine
– Limb leads go on right arm (AVR), left arm (AVL), and left leg (AVF)
– The 6 chest leads, placed as shown, allow certain abnormalities to be detected
Arrhythmias Detected on ECG
• Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms
• Heart rate <60/min is bradycardia; >100/min is tachycardia
In Summary
The contraction phase of the cardiac cycle is
called systole and the relaxation period is
called diastole.
The pacemaker of the heart is the SA node.
The average blood pressure during a cardiac
cycle is called mean arterial pressure.
In Summary
Blood pressure can be increased by one or all of the
following factors:
a. increase in blood volume
b. increase in heart rate
c. increased blood viscosity
d. increase in stroke volume
e. increased peripheral resistance
A recording of the electrical activity of the heart
during the cardiac cycle is called the
electrocardiogram (ECG).
