23. 1 functions of the respiratory system regulation of blood ph: alters blood ph by changing carbon dioxide levels. 23. 2 anatomy and histolgy of the respiratory system. The diaphragm and other skeletal muscles associated with the thoracic wall are responsible for ventilation (air movement). i. muscles of inspiration: External intercostals, pectoralis minor, scalenes: elevate the ribs ii. Internal intercostals, abdominal muscles: depress the ribs and sternum. Quiet inspiration: inferior movement of central tendon and flattening of the dome; abdominal muscles relax. Quiet expiration: relaxation of the diaphragm and external intercostals; contraction of abdominal muscles. Laboured breathing: all inspiratory muscles are active and contract more forcefully; expiration is rapid. Pulmonary arteries: delivers deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Pulmonary veins: returns oxygenated blood from the lungs. Bronchial arteries (from the aorta): delivers oxygenated blood to the lungs. Bronchial veins (to the azygous): returns deoxygenated blood from the lungs. The lymphatic system functions to regulate extracellular fluid balance.
