Respiratory system From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia See also: Respiratory tract Respiratory system A complete‚ schematic view of the human respiratory system with their parts and functions. Latin systema respiratorium The respiratory system (or ventilatory system) is the biological system that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. In humans and other mammals‚ the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways‚ lungs‚ and the respiratory

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

Using the guidelines in Wilson & Giddens ’ Ch. 11 and videos‚ perform a respiratory assessment process on a patient or a significant other. Write up your findings following the guidelines and post them here. It is important for nurses in all practice settings to be able to perform a basic respiratory assessment. This includes taking a pertinent patient history and using the techniques of inspection‚ palpation‚ percussion‚ and auscultation. Immediately upon meeting a patient I am looking to

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The respiratory system consists of all the organs involved in breathing. These include the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. The respiratory system does two very important things: it brings oxygen into our bodies‚ which we need for our cells to live and function properly; and it helps us get rid of carbon dioxide‚ which is a waste product of cellular function. The nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea and bronchi all work like a system of pipes through which

Anatomy of the Respiratory System Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose and nasal cavity form the main external opening for the respiratory system and are the first section of the body’s airway—the respiratory tract through which air moves. The nose is a structure of the face made of cartilage‚ bone‚ muscle‚ and skin that supports and protects the anterior portion of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function

Research Paper The Respiratory System As humans‚ our body is made out of different systems‚ which work together to make us live day by day. One major system is the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the nose (the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses)‚ pharynx (throat)‚ larynx (voice box)‚ trachea (windpipe)‚ bronchi‚ and the lungs. The respiratory system begins from our respiratory tracts that carry air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs. Respiratory tract can be divided
