ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. Respiration is achieved through the mouth‚ nose‚ trachea‚ lungs‚ and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory

The Renal Diet 1.The kidneys: * The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs that lie on either side of the spine in the lower middle of the back. Each kidney weighs about ¼ pound. * It is important to keep the kidneys in good working order to allow them to work at an optimum level. * The main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. The kidneys process about 200 l’s of blood every day and produce about 2 l’s of urine. * The kidneys

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

Homework Zero 0. What do you hope to achieve in this course? I have taken economics courses in the past‚ but was never strong with the math equations. I am excited to improve this weakness of mine. 1. What skills do you bring to the classroom? To your fellow students? Although I was an economics major in undergrad‚ I took many computer classes and as a result am very proficient with computers. I can use these skills when working with classmates as well. 2. How will your classmates

Renal calculi literally translates to kidney stones. These kidney stones form inside your kidneys but can affect your entire urinary tract as it travels (which includes the bladder‚ urethra‚ and ureters.) Stones form when urine is too rich with minerals and salts causing them to stick together creating a small‚ hard‚ pebble-like sediment. Kidney stones are a collection of proteins and mineral salts that aggregate into a solid crystalline structure. The stones structure is made of two phases‚ crystalline

The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine

the curse of this run? If so‚ how? Yes‚ the PCO2 level dropped from 40 to 19.7 because the body was getting rid of CO2 by hyperventilating. 8. If you observed an acid/base imbalance during this run‚ how would you expect to renal system to compensate for this condition? The renal system would generate H+ and excrete HCO3- to counteract the respiratory system and lower the pH back to homeostasis. 9. How did the hyperventilation trace differ from the trace for the normal breathing? Did the tidal volumes
