    A tracheostomy tube, or trach tube, allows a person to breath without using his or her nose or mouth. Some trach tubes have a cuff on the end that keeps air from reaching the mouth and nose. A cuffless tracheostomy tube does not have a cuff. Since there is no cuff, a person with this kind of trach tube can cough and speak normally.…

    Air enters through nostrils which contain coarse hairs. The pharynx is shared between the digestive and respiratory system and extends between the nostrils and the larynx. The larynx joins the pharynx to the trachea; it consists of cartilages and is also known as the voice box. The trachea divides to form the primary bronchi, the left and right bronchi which the bronchi are two tubes that carry air into the lungs and they .break down into smaller branches which are called bronchioles. At the end of these are air sacs called alveoli which absorb oxygen from the air. The diaphragm is a muscle which is directly below the lungs, during inhalation the diaphragm contracts to allow the chest cavity to expand as the lungs fill with air.…

    The first step would be the stimulation whether it be air noises, water noises, music or someone coughing. The sound then travel to the outer ear where it is the reflected into the middle ear where it is amplified into the inner ear. The sound is then transferred through the viscous fluid in the cochlea. Inside the cochlea are tubes that are filled with fluid and hair cells. The hair cells are moved by the sound waves and become receptors for the primary auditory cortex. The cortex then processes the sounds into an interpretation. (University of Phoenix,…

    Sound vibrations from the buzzing bee vibrate the air molecules as pressure waves around my ear and enter the auricle which is cone-shaped in order to direct these sound waves into the ear via the external acoustic meatus. The sound waves reach the tympanic membrane through the external acoustic meatus and cause it to vibrate. When the tympanic membrane moves, it causes the auditory ossicles to move. The auditory ossicles are made up of the malleus, incus, and stapes. These ossicles are important…

    A Cochlear Implant is a device that provides direct electrical stimulation to the auditory nerve in the inner ear says Boswell. She also states that the device has internal and external components. The external parts include a microphone, a speech processor, and a transmitter and the internal parts include the receiver and electrodes. These electrodes stimulate the auditory nerve and completely bypass the damaged hair cells in the inner ear. The processor turns the sound digital and sends it to the transmitter.…

    Resonance 1 Williams Lab 1: Tube Staci Williams Kevin Schesing, Nicole Harty, Caitlin Kubota Section 015 2 Performed February 2, 2010 Due February 13, 2010 3 Theory: 2.1 Air As A Spring Williams Gas is a springy material, and when placed in a cylinder with pistons on each side it can be compressed as pistons push in, raising the pressure inside. There will be a net force from the pressure to push the piston back out. Since gas has mass it can support oscillations and waves. 2.2 Traveling Sound Waves in Air When a cone of a speaker moves out, it compresses air next to is and imparts an outward velocity to the air molecules around it, in addition to the random thermal velocities of air molecules. The molecules nearest to the speaker will collide with those near them and impart those molecules into motion, propagating away from the speaker producing sound. Similar statements apply to when the cone is moved in as well. If speaker cone vibrates sinusoidally, a traveling wave will be emitted form the speaker and the wave relation f = v < = wavelength, f = frequency of wave, v = velocity of wave> is satisfied. AS the motion of the wave molecules move along the direction of the propagation of the wave are called longitudinal waves, which is contrasting to transverse waves which are on strings. The waves as the elements of the string move transverse to the direction in which the waves travel. In traveling waves the displacement of air satisfies the wave equation. V = (P/) < v = velocity of wave, = specific heats at constant pressure/ " constant volume = Cp/Cv, P = air pressure, = air mass density>. With the ideal gas law it can be written as V = (RT/M ) < R = molar gas constant, T = absolute temperature, M = Molar mass>. For a given gas the speed will be proportional to the square root of the temperature giving the equation vrms = (3RT/M) < vrms ~ thermal speed of the gas molecules>. The speed of sound in gas is close to the thermal speed of molecules in gas, so the…
