Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease‚ Tuberculosis‚ Lung cancer‚ Asthma‚ emphysema‚ and bronchitis are just a few of the common respiratory infections that disrupt the functions of organs and tissues responsible for providing oxygen to the body. In this paper I will discuss Chronic obstructive

Asthma: Disease of the respiratory system Breathing‚ the act of inhaling and exhaling of air. Oddly enough this process is an absolute necessity for life and yet we do not control it. There are two systems involved in our ability to breathe one is the parasympathetic nervous system and the other is the respiratory system. The parasympathetic nervous system controls the body ’s unconscious actions that are necessary to live such as the beating of the heart. The Respiratory system mainly consists

The respiratory system of birds differs significantly from that found in mammals‚ containing unique anatomical 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

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

Levishon and kleven (2000) discussed that the most dramatic disease of M. gallisepticum was chronic respiratory disease in meat type birds‚ often as one of several aetiological agents in a multi-factorial disease complex. Phenotypic variation of major surface antigens occurs at high frequency which was a probable explanation for chronic infection by M. gallisepticum despite a strong immune response. Bradbury et al. (2001) mentioned that avian Mycoplasma was caused by several pathogenic Mycoplasmas

Principle #1 Involve Infants and Toddlers in Things that Concern Them I used this principle first hand today when I was visiting the mom that I work with and her son. Mom has had a very hard time changing her son’s diaper from time to time because he is now at that age where he is very curious and active and desperately wants to explore the world. Needless to say‚ he does not want to lie still for more than a couple of seconds. I shared this principal with her today and when I went to change

By the time the rescue unit arrived‚ A.W. was stuporous and in severe respiratory distress. She was intubated‚ an IV of lactated Ringer’s (LR)

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

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
