Phoenix Material Roderick Tabigne Respiratory System Lab – Week Six Introduction The respiratory system consists of the upper respiratory tract (the nasal cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ and bronchi) and the lower respiratory tract (the lungs). As you learn about the various diseases that affect the respiratory system‚ it is important for you to understand the structures that can be affected by disease. Complete this lab to become familiar with a healthy system and to identify diseases related to

Respiratory system: Minute ventilation is the quantity of oxygen which is taken in by your lungs per minute. When we exercise there is a higher oxygen intake per minute due to a higher breathing rate‚ we will also need more oxygenated blood cells to go round to the muscles in use to help try and prevent muscular injuries. The reason why when minute ventilation increases is positive to an athlete is because there is a higher intake of oxygen and nutrients needed. This will mean that the athlete

decided to write it out. Here is my own journey in a seventh grade student that inhales that you will never experience again. It all started when a seventh grade student inhaled deeply in a Science Classroom. They were studying the Respiratory System in a human body. The teacher said to inhale and exhale deeply. So the student inhales and I decided to enter his nose with other molecules of oxygen to have a unique experience. After being smooched to enter his narrow nose‚ I saw several short hairs

adaptations allowing the elephant to remain underwater for long periods of time while breathing through its trunk which emerges as a snorkel.[4] Birds The main section for this topic is on the page Bird anatomy‚ in the section Respiratory system. 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 exchange

atmospheric pressure‚ intrapulmonary pressure‚ and intrapleural pressure.. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted on us on the earth due to the weight of air molecules. Humans are not overwhelmed with this because of Intrapulmonary pressure‚ the pressure within our lungs. Intrapulmonary pressure causes our lungs to stay slightly inflated even after we exhale. Intrapleural pressure is the pressure on our pleura. This is

The respiratory system of the horse is well adapted to athletic exercise‚ with unrestricted upper airway diameters‚ and a large lung capacity afforded by 18 ribs. These combine to enable air intakes of up to 1800 litres per minute in a galloping horse. Volumes of up to 300 litres of blood are pumped at high pressure through small lung capillaries surrounding 10 million air sacs to take up and deliver over 70 litres of oxygen per minute to the working muscles at the gallop. As a result‚ any restriction

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 a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for the process of respiration in an organism. The respiratory system is involved in the intake and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the environment. The primary function of the respiratory system is to
