in childhood‚ it a physiologically considered by reversible airflow obstruction known as (ROAD). In other words asthma is a condition that the airway of the lungs become narrow or blocked. In some patients that has COPD it cause by tobacco smoke‚ later in life patients considered by moderately reversible airflow limitation that result to lung function and can lead to premature death. These two diseases are described by the physiological and anatomic extremes of COPD and asthma that

We must go now! We must destroy this bacterium before it makes her sick! We cannot let that happen her Lora. As of right now‚ we are entering the right femoral vein‚ close to the groin. The right femoral vein is parallel with the femoral artery through the upper thigh and pelvic region. It is

Anatomy of the lungs: The lungs are in the thoracic cavity on either sides of the heart and are cone shaped. Each lung is divided into superior and inferior lobes. The right lung also has a middle lobe on top of those two. They are spongy air filled organs. The trachea‚ which is also referred to as the windpipe‚ conducts air into the lungs through the bronchi. The bronchi are further divided into smaller branches called bronchioles. Those then end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli

process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? The cough reflex is a deep and long inhalation that is followed by the closing the glottis‚ this causes a strong exhalation that will push the glottis open and sends the air through the respiratory passage. The coughing occurs when a foreign body is in the larynx‚ trachea or the epiglottis. Cari is coughing because the mucous and fluid buildup in her lungs and her body is to get rid of it.

There are two main types of pneumothorax‚ traumatic pneumothorax‚ and spontaneous pneumothorax‚ with spontaneous pneumothorax being broken down into primary pneumothorax and secondary pneumothorax. There are several risk factors and causes of a pneumothorax. It is important to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of a pneumothorax and how to treat them. The word “pneumothorax” can be broken down into the Latin root words “pneumo‚” meaning air or lung‚ and

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or also known as Chronic Bronchitis or Emphysema is a disease that happens in the lungs of people who smoke. It blocks the airflow to the lungs with black tar / black carbon. Some symptoms are excessive coughing and continuously out of breath. To ease the symptoms you could you use inhalers‚ steroids‚ antibiotics or just more oxygen. This disease will slowly kill you because it affects your respiratory system

features such as air sacs. The lungs of birds also do not have the capacity to inflate as birds lack a diaphragm and a pleural cavity. Gas exchange in birds occurs between air capillaries and blood capillaries‚ rather than in alveoli. Reptiles X-ray video of a female American alligator while breathing.

As we sit there in the femoral vein we are going to drain ourselves into the inferior vena cava via the external iliac vein.
