There are many type of disease that can affect the Respiratory system. The disease that can affect this system is Lung Cancer‚ Bronchitis‚ Emphysema and Pneumonia. The disease that can affect the system as well is called Asthma. This disease is one of the common diseases I’ve known beside lung cancer. Asthma is a lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. When the airways get inflamed‚ it causes the airways to become swollen and the muscles around it tighten. This makes it difficult for

The human body has to be controlled from advanced systems internally of which connect in order to function effectively. There are ten main systems within the body of which all perform various activities and all interrelate with at least one other system; the nervous system. The most complex of all body systems‚ the nervous system controls all functions within the body. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed

Respiratory System: Study Guide The respiratory system provides for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide of the body. - In terrestrial vertebrae’s‚ the respiratory system includes 3 steps: 1. Breathing: Inspiration (inhaling oxygen) and Expiration (exhaling carbon dioxide) 2. External exchange- Gas exchange between the AIR and BLOOD in lungs. Blood then transfers oxygen to the tissue cells. 3. Internal exchange- Gas exchange between the BLOOD & TISSUE FLUID and between the CELLS & TISSUE FLUID

Tanya Hicks Anatomy & Physiology Respiratory Assignment. ! 1.) The control center inside of the brain is called the medulla oblongata. Our breathing is controlled by the level of carbon dioxide that we have in our blood. The pons sends out a signal from the medulla to the diaphragm to activate. The diaphragm is also sent a a signal from the phoenic nerve‚ that comes from the cervical plexus in the spinal cord. This makes the diaphragm contract and flatten and increases the space inside of the thoracic

Respiratory Volumes Activity 2: Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1. Minute respiratory volume: 7‚500 ml 2. Judging from the trace you generated‚ inspiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 3. Expiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 4. Does the duration of inspiration or expiration vary during ERV or FVC? Yes Activity 3: Effect of Restricted Air Flow on Respiratory Volumes 5. How does this set of data compare to the data you recorded for Activity

critically explain the physiological effects of exercise on the human respiratory system and cardiovascular system. To begin with‚ I will explain the two systems‚ their specific functions and how they inter-relate. I will then go on to analyse the effects of exercise on the two systems by looking at the way in which the body deals with an increased workload‚ and any health issues that may affect this. Cardiovascular system This system is responsible for pumping blood and oxygen around the body. It is
