Pathogenicity and Diseases: Diseases of the Res... > The Respiratory System
Functional Anatomy of the Respiratory System
• Ventilation occurs under the control of the autonomic nervous system from parts
of the brain stem; the medulla oblongata and the pons, collectively forming the
respiration regulatory center.
• Inhalation is initiated by the diaphragm and supported by the external intercostal
muscles; additional accessory muscles include sternocleidomastoid, platysma,
scalene muscles of the neck, pectoral muscles and latissimus dorsi.
• When the diaphragm contracts, the ribcage expands and the contents of the
abdomen are moved downward, resulting in a larger thoracic volume and negative
pressure (with respect to atmospheric pressure) inside the thorax.
• Exhalation is generally a passive process since the lungs have a natural elasticity

they recoil from the stretch of inhalation and air flows back out until the pressures
in the chest and the atmosphere reach equilibrium.
• Gas exchange occurs at the alveoli, the tiny sacs which are the basic functional
component of the lungs.
• Gas exchange facilitates oxygenation of the blood with a concomitant removal of
carbon dioxide and other gaseous metabolic wastes from the circulation, while
acid-base balance is maintained by homeostasis.

The Vestibular System
• The vestibular system uses hair cells, as does the auditory system, but it excites
them in different ways.
• There are five vestibular receptor organs in the inner ear (the vestibular labyrinth):
the utricle, the saccule, and three semicircular canals; the utricle and saccule
respond to acceleration in a straight line, such as gravity.
• The bending of the stereocilia stimulates specific neurons that signal to the brain
that the head is tilted, allowing the maintenance of balance.
• The fluid-filled semicircular canals are tubular loops set at oblique angle, arranged
in three spatial planes; the base of each canal contains a cluster of hair cells that

• Neuronal projections to the temporal cortex account for feelings of dizziness;
projections to autonomic nervous system areas in the brainstem account for
motion sickness; and projections to the primary somatosensory cortex monitor
subjective measurements of the external world and self-movement.

Airborne Transmission of Disease
• Airborne transmission results in the inhalation of pathogens that can affect an
individual's respiratory system or the rest of the body.
• Airborne diseases are caused by pathogens which can ride on either dust
particles or small respiratory droplets that can stay suspended in the air and travel
distances on air currents.
• Airborne diseases are commonly seen in unsanitary household conditions and
overcrowded areas, and thrive in areas of poverty and poor hygienic conditions.

Otitis Media
• Bacterial-caused earaches are often due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, a
common bacterial infection.
• Trimeric Autotransporter Adhesins on the surface of bacteria are the proteins
responsible for earaches.
• TAA proteins bind to host cells, allowing the invading bacteria to transfer virulence
factors which then cause inflammation of the middle ear.

Sinusitis
• Sinusitis is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may be due to infection,
allergy, or autoimmune issues.
• Sinusitis can be classified by duration (acute or chronic) and by location
(maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid).
• Chronic sinusitis lasts longer than three months and can be caused by many
different diseases that share chronic inflammation of the sinuses as a common
symptom.
• Sinus infection can spread through veins or by direct extension to close structures
and may result in complications.

Colds
• Over 200 virus types have been found that cause the common cold, with
rhinoviruses being the most common.
• Rhinoviruses are a sub-type of picornavirus, a non-enveloped RNA virus, which is
very small in size.
• The symptoms of the common cold are not due to the viral infection directly but
rather the bodies response to the virus.
• There is no cure for the common cold, and in fact antibiotics which often
prescribed are detrimental to patients.

Whooping Cough
• Whooping cough is caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis, which infects the
respiratory system.
• There is no zoonotic reservoir of Bordetella pertussis, meaning that humans
appear to be the only host of this bacteria.
• Bordetella pertussis produces a number of virulence factors, notably Ptx, which
inhibits the ability of phagocytes to respond to infections. This helps Bordetella
pertussis spread throughout a host.

Diphtheria
• Diptheria is caused bu the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and is easily
treated with antibiotics. It is now a fairly rare disease in developed countries.
• If left untreated and if infected by a bacteriophage, then Corynebacterium
diphtheriae produces toxins that can lead to mortality.
• Diphtheria toxinis comprised of two fragments, fragment A and fragment B;.
Fragment B binds to the target cell surface and allows entry into cells through
endosomes; fragment A inhibits protein translation.
• Fragment A inhibits protein synthesis by catalyzing EF-2 a protein essential for
tRNA movement during protein translation.

Scarlet Fever
• Scarlet fever usually affects children. Historically, it had devastating effects.
• While antibiotics are effective against scarlet fever, the illness is actually caused
by a bacteriophage infecting Streptococcus that has infected a person.
• The bacteriophage T12 inserts into the genome of Streptococcus. This leads to
the expression of an exotoxin, which causes scarlet fever.

Bacterial Pneumonias
• Most cases of pneumonia are caused by bacterial infections, and most of the
bacterial infections are caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae.
• The bacteria that cause pneumonia are split into three groups, gram-negative,
gram-positive and atypical.
• Alcoholism is asociated with Streptococcus pneumoniae induced pneumonia and
smoking exacerbates the situation.

Tuberculosis
• Tuberculosis is spread through the air when people who have an active TB
infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit their saliva through the air.
• The classic symptoms of active TB infection are a chronic cough with blood-tinged
sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.
• Diagnosis of active TB relies on radiology (commonly chest x-rays) as well as
microscopic examination and microbiological culture of body fluids. Diagnosis of
latent TB relies on the Mantoux tuberculin skin test.
• Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Pharyngitis
• In most cases, pharyngitis is caused by a systemic viral infection and is typified by
a painful swelling inflammation of the throat. This can cause difficulty swallowing
or breathing.
• The most common bacterial cause of pharyngitis is streptococcus.
• Several types of bacteria can cause pharyngitis. The most common and effective
treatment for these infections are antibiotics.

Coryza and Influenza
• The most common symptoms of the disease are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle
pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness/fatigue, and general discomfort.
• Influenza is transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes, by direct contact
with bird droppings or nasal secretions, or through contact with contaminated
surfaces.
• Coryza is a word describing the symptoms of a cold and refers to the
inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the nasal cavity which usually
gives rise to the symptoms of congestion.

Viral Pneumonia
• Viral pneumonia is caused by both viral infection which leads to cell death. The
body's response to clear the cellular debris leads to further inflammation and the
blockage of respiration.
• Many different viruses can cause viral pneumonia, but they all enter the lungs and
damage the alveoli.
• The best prevention for viral pneumonia is to vaccinate against the viruses that
can cause pneumonia.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection
• RSV is a single stranded virus, the genome of which encodes 11 proteins which
play different roles in RSV infection.
• RSV can induce syncytia (aggregates of host cells), providing further fertile
ground for RSV to propagate.
• There is no direct treatment of RSV except to mitigate the symptoms, giving the
patient's body time to fight off the infection.

Histoplasmosis
• Histoplasmosis is s a disease caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum,
which is usually found in soil, and often associated with decaying bat guano or
bird droppings.
• Cases of histoplasmosis have declined acutely since the Industrial Revolution as
quality of life improved dramatically and humans were no longer living in their own
squalor.
• Symptoms of this infection vary greatly, but the disease affects primarily the
lungs. Occasionally, other organs are affected, and it can be fatal if left untreated.

Other Fungi Involved in Respiratory Disease
• In cases of sporotrichosis affecting the lungs, the fungal spores enter through the
respiratory pathways.
• Sporotrichosis progresses slowly - the first symptoms may appear from one to 12
weeks (average three weeks) after the initial exposure to the fungus.
• Forms and symptoms of sporotrichosis include: cutaneous or skin sporotrichosis;
pulmonary sporotrichosis; and disseminated sporotrichosis.

Blastomycosis
• Infection occurs by inhalation of the fungus from its natural soil habitat.
• Once suspected, the diagnosis of blastomycosis can usually be confirmed by
demonstration of the characteristic, broad-based budding organisms in sputum or
tissues by KOH prep, cytology, or histology.
• Once inhaled in the lungs, Blastomycosis multiply and may disseminate through
the blood and lymphatics to other organs, including the skin, bone, genitourinary
tract, and brain.
