Future of Respiratory Therapy By entering the field of respiratory therapy‚ one is entering a growing field of opportunity. There are continually emergent job opportunities in this field whereas there is also a rise of growth in the technology and developments in the field such as medicines‚ techniques‚ and other aspects. Respiratory therapy refers to both a subject area within clinical medicine and to a distinct health care profession. During the 20th century‚ there were many health care fundamental

Anatomy of the Respiratory System Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose and nasal cavity form the main external opening for the respiratory system and are the first section of the body’s airway—the respiratory tract through which air moves. The nose is a structure of the face made of cartilage‚ bone‚ muscle‚ and skin that supports and protects the anterior portion of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function

Introduction to Measurement Mass‚ Length‚ and Volume Introduction Much of what we know about the physical world has been obtained from measurements made in the laboratory. Skill is required to design experiments so that careful measurements can be made. Skill is also needed to use lab equipment correctly so that errors can be minimized. At the same time‚ it is important to understand the limitations of scientific measurements. Concepts Measurement Significant figures Accuracy

oxygen and respiratory disease. Respiratory disease is the term used for defining diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ emphysema and asthma. Common signs and symptoms of respiratory disease are coughing‚ wheezing‚ dyspnoea and production of abnormal secretions like sputum and haemoptysis (Jenkins et al 2008). Respiratory disease accounted for 8.4% of the registered deaths in Australia in 2007. There was an estimated 6.6% increase in deaths caused by respiratory disease from

the trachea into the more distal parts of the lung parenchyma).[1][2][3] Bronchitis can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic.[1][2][3][4] Acute bronchitis is characterized by the development of a cough or small sensation in the back of the throat‚ with or without the production of sputum(mucus that is expectorated‚ or "coughed up"‚ from the respiratory tract). Acute bronchitis often occurs during the course of an acute viral illness such as the common cold or influenza. Viruses cause about

2011 Respiratory Diseases: Infections Invading the Lungs The average human takes breathing for granted. One might think that breathing is just an involuntary movement‚ but for the millions of people who suffer from respiratory illnesses‚ each and every breath is a major accomplishment to another day of daily life. The respiratory system not only oxygenates the blood for the body‚ but also filters out wastes‚ infections‚ and provides the air that is needed for daily speech. The respiratory system
