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 90% of acute bronchitis cases‚ whereas bacteria account for about 10%.[5][6] Chronic bronchitis‚ a type

Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms‚ and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura and pleural cavity‚ and the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting‚ such as the common cold‚ to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia‚ pulmonary embolism‚ and lung cancer

pressure changes allow for inspiration and expiration to occur. Understand what is going on in figure 23.13 & 14 - Be familiar with the terms elastic recoil and surface tension as they apply to the lungs. Why is surfactant important? What is Respiratory Distress Syndrome of the Newborn and why does it occur? - Be able to describe what muscles are involved with inspiration and how they change the volume of the thoracic cavity (what happens when they contract) and how this creates air flow into

hypoxemia Decreased breath sounds in left lower lobe may indicate atelectasis and coarse crackles in the left upper lobe may indicate fluid accumulation. Dusky nail beds indicate lack of O2 and tissue perfusion Rust-colored sputum indicates respiratory infection. Pain upon coughing presents inflammation or infection. Allergy to antibiotics (need to identify the allergic response to antibiotic in detail because he will be starting antibiotic) Medical history of CAD‚ MI and DM increases his presence

The Respiratory System At the end of this topic students will be able to: • Compare the respiratory systems • Describe the mechanic of respiration - Air passage principals - Ventilation - Lung volume and respiration cycle - Respiration rate • Explain gas exchange - Partial pressure - Oxygen separation curve • Discriminate gas transportation - Oxygen and carbon dioxide Respiration : - all processes that accomplish movement of O2 from the environment to the tissues - has 2 components : a)

The human respiratory system is one of the chief and most important which is very instrumental for survival. Prime function of the respiratory system is breathing. Inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide is all that takes plays by function of the respiratory organs. Breathing is a process by which oxygen in the air is brought in to the lungs and further in to close contact with blood. The blood absorbs the oxygen and carries to all parts of the body. Simultaneously blood gives up waste matter
