Text ВRespiration
The term «respiration» means the exchange of gases (oxygen and
carbon dioxide) which takes place between the living organism and the
environment. One must consider that in higher organisms this exchange
takes place at several different levels. An initial exchange must occur
between the air in the lungs, from which the oxygen is being continually
taken up and into which carbon dioxide is being continually poured, and the
external air. This is the process of external respiration.
The composition of the air inside the lungs is different from that of the air
which we inhale. The content of alveolar air is very constant, especially the
one of carbon dioxide, the partial pressure of which is normally 40 mm of
mercury. This constancy is the result of a self-regulating mechanism by
which the respiratory activity is governed by the amount of carbon dioxide
which has been eliminated from the organism.
The exchange of gases varies according to the size and activity of the
organism. In man at rest the absorption of oxygen reaches about 0.25 litre a
minute and the elimination of carbon dioxide 0.2 litre. At a time of maximum
muscular activity, the consumption of oxygen and the production of carbon
dioxide may both exceed 4 litres a minute.
The movement of air into the lungs is brought about by an increase in the
volume of the thoracic cavity with the action of the respiratory muscles. The
lungs follow this movement passively. Some of the inspiratory muscles
have a fixed point on the ribs; when the ribs are being raised the muscles
increase the anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the thoracic cavity
(costal respiration). Another important muscle is the diaphragm, a thin
