Respiratory Disorders Management and Care Our respiratory system is like a battery in our car‚ without it we will not be able to generate the heart and the rest of our body. There is an old proverb that states‚ "Life is in the breath. He who half breathes half lives." If you have allergies‚ asthma‚ or other breathing problems‚ this proverb may sound very familiar. But a greater understanding of your breathing problems‚ along with an accurate medical diagnosis and effective treatment‚ can help

The Respiratory System STRUCTURAL PLAN Basic plan of respiratory system would be similar to an inverted tree if it were hollow; leaves of the tree would be comparable to alveoli‚ with the microscopic sacs enclosed by networks of capillaries (Figure 14-1) Passive transport process of diffusion is responsible for the exchange of gases that occur during respiration. RESPIRATORY TRACTS Upper respiratory tract—nose‚ pharynx‚ and larynx Lower respiratory tract—trachea‚ bronchial tree‚ and lungs

Exercise No. Respiratory System I. Introduction Oxygen is a very important element which our body needs. Without oxygen life is not possible without oxygen which helps in producing energies that our body cells need. But‚ how do we acquire this oxygen needed by the body? It is by the process called Respiration. Respiration is a process of taking in and out of air from the body. There are two kinds of respiration called cellular respiration and external respiration. Cellular respiration

A&P II Instructor: David Armoogam September 10‚ 2010 The respiratory system helps with breathing‚ inhaling and exhaling. The respiratory systems main function is to give oxygen to the body’s cells and get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce. Breathing would be impossible without the respiratory system‚ which includes the nose‚ throat‚ voice box‚ windpipe‚ and lungs. In this essay I plan on explaining how the respiratory system functions as well as its parts. The exchange of two gases

The Respiratory System is crucial to every human being. Without it‚ we would cease to live outside of the womb. Let us begin by taking a look at the structure of the respiratory system and how vital it is to life. During inhalation or exhalation air is pulled towards or away from the lungs‚ by several cavities‚ tubes‚ and openings. The organs of the respiratory system make sure that oxygen enters our bodies and carbon dioxide leaves our bodies. The respiratory tract is the path of air from the
