volume is the amount of gas that remains in the lungs and the passageways of the respiratory system even after a full exhalation. This gas never leaves the respiratory system; if it did‚ the lungs and respiratory passageways would collapse. The residual volume has little value for gas exchange because it is not exchanged with air from outside the body. Purpose In this activity‚ you will measure your own respiratory volumes using a device called a spirometer. Materials • spirometer with disposable

short bursts breathe heavily after. The equation of anaerobic exercise is:- Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy Lactic acid is produced as a waste product of anaerobic respiration and is what causes aches in muscles after exercise. The Respiratory System The respiratory system is made up of three major areas. The first is the airway which consists of the nasal cavity‚ oral cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles and alveolus. The airways job

He is using an inhaled ß2 agonist and theophylline to manage his respiratory disease. At this clinic visit‚ it is noted on a chest x-ray that R.S. has an area of consolidation in his right lower lobe that is thought to be consistent with pneumonia. Discussion Questions 1.

Spirometry Lab Write-Up A. Subject History The subject is a twenty eight year old female. She stands five feet eight inches tall and weighs approximately one hundred fifty pounds. The subject is a non-smoker and although she has never had any respiratory issues‚ asthma does tend to run in her family on the maternal side. The subject does however admit to feeling out of breathe easily when doing intense exercise for an extended period of time. B. Effect of CO2 on Breathing How did the

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
