Diaphragm

functions of respiratory system- to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide as we breath Diagram that includes the major parts - trachea, lungs, diaphragm, epiglottis, larynx, vocal cords - and list the function(s) of each. trachea- wide hollow tube that connects to the larynx to the bronchi of the lungs lungs- taking in oxygen releasing carbon dioxide diaphragm- the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen epiglottis-covers voice box cover food from entering windpipe. larynx-is the…

The external features of a lion help them survive in their habitat. Both females and males have a golden tan color that help them camouflage to their surroundings. However, there does exist a white variant which appears once in awhile in some lions. There is a huge external difference that separates males and females which is the male's mane. The mane is large and bushy, and it stretches all the way from the neck to the beginning of its back. It also gets darker as the lion ages. The lion has…

assessing/monitoring breathing, airway maintenance, breathing techniques, positioning, effective coughing, oxygen therapy, suctioning, exercise conditioning, and hydration (Ignatavicius, 2016). The priority nursing assessment is breathing. Paying attention to note the speed, depth, and effort that is being used is important (Ignatavicius, 2016). It will provide a reference to how the patient is responding to the treatment. This monitoring should be done every two hours so any worsening…

6. Diaphragm- A double, dome-shaped muscle of respiration that forms the floor of the thorax (chest) and the ceiling of the abdomen. The most important muscle used in abdominal breathing. Sentence: If a person injures their diaphragm, it is essential for them to get immediate medical attention to ensure they don’t stop breathing. 7. Diaphragmatic Breathing- (Abdominal Breathing) Respiration in which the muscles of the abdomen, including the diaphragm, are used; the preferred…

neurodegenerative disease where the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord die (Harmon, 2012). Diagnosis generally occurs after age fifty and from that point, the patient generally has three to five years until his/her motor neurons controlling the diaphragm die, resulting in death by asphyxiation (Al-Chalabi et al., 2014; “Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,” n.d.). An anomaly to this generalization is Stephen Hawking who was diagnosed with ALS when he was twenty-one years old and is still…

The Cardiovascular System: An Overview of Blood, Vessels, and Heart – Healthy to Diseased The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels (Mertz, 2004). The cardiovascular system moves oxygenated blood and nutrients through to and removes carbon dioxide and wastes out of the body’s cells. (Miracle of the Human Body, 2010) I will provide an overview how a healthy cardiovascular system does this by first discussing the anatomy of it,…

Define resolution Resoluion is the ability of microscope to distibguish between two points for the highest magnification, it is neccessary to use oil immersion. 4. What is the function of the diaphragm on the microscope? The diaphragm, located between the light source and the condenser, can be used to increase or decrease the intensity of the light entring the condenser and control the contrast of the…

Cardiovascular Response: When exercising the muscles requires a constant supply of oxygen, it is the hearts job to make sure there is enough oxygen being pumped round the body for the muscles, the heart has to pump harder and faster as more oxygen is required to get round the body to the muscles in use otherwise they will fatigue quicker. If this is repeated regularly, then over time the heart will become stronger as will become more used to the higher demands. At the start of exercise, the…

bronchioles lead directly into the lungs and connect to the alveoli ( tiny air sac that allow gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.) Because the lungs have no skeletal muscles of their own, so the work of breathing is done by the diaphragm, the diaphragm helps to pump the carbon dioxide out of the lungs and pull the oxygen into lungs. They are two very important adaptations in human gas exchange system that allows the human to survive successfully in their living environment.…
