model. The same participants will be studied at four different stages in the research to see not only the progress but also how effective the use of yoga and meditation is in the progress. The dependent variables are craving, depression, and Heart Rate Variability. The craving is the bio-behavioral phenomenon as it is related to physiological and psychological processes which happens inside and outside of conscious awareness (Eddie, Kim, Lehrer, Deneke, & Bates, 2014).

What are the primary functions of the respiratory system? The human respiratory system is made up of several organs (nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs). They are responsible in receiving oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. However, the exchange of gases takes place in the lungs making them an important organ of the breathing process. RBC’s gather oxygen from the lungs transferring it to other parts of the body. During this process the RBC’s gather carbon dioxide and transfers…

According to Scott(2013), the body has a respiratory center in the brain called the Medulla Oblongata and the Pons regions. The medulla sends signals to the muscles that is involved in breathing, and the pons controls the rate of breathing. These two regions in the brain can affect or have negative effect on oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the bloodstream. The body responds to low oxygen when there is there is dilation of blood vessels, which decreases blood pressure. This is also known as…

One of the main functions of the equine respiratory system is to trap debris. The horses nasal cavity is lined with ciliated epithelium, which produces mucus and is equipped with cilia.1 Air-borne debris gets trapped in the sticky mucus as it enters the nasal cavity and the cilia move from side to side in order to move the mucus toward the throat.1 When the debris-filled mucus reaches the throat, it can then be swallowed and digested or expelled through coughing.1 Research has shown that nearly…

). Tracheostomy tubes and endotracheal tubes are often used for the distribution for aerosol therapy. According to the Medical Dictionary, Aerosol deposition is the depositing or the retention of aerosol particles on a nearby surface within the respiratory system. “Aerosol deposition during mechanical ventilation is reduced by the presence of an artificial airway” (Ari, Harwood, Sheard, & Fink, 2012). When the artificial airways diameter diminishes, the aerosol deposition within the airway will…

Introduction: The Litoria caerulea (Green tree frog) has a very unique respiratory system that is very different to the Homo sapiens (Humans). The respiratory system is made up of organs in your body to help you breath by delivering oxygen to the body and expelling carbon dioxide. The respiratory system consists of Lungs, Diaphragm, Bronchi and Trachea along with others. These organs have crucial roles in the process of respiration (the act of breathing) (Hillendale Health, Hes.ucfsd.org, 2014)…

What is asthma? Asthma is a respiratory condition marked by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing. It usually results from an allergic reaction or other forms of hypersensitivity. Many other respiratory illnesses include; allergies,Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,Chronic bronchitis,Emphysema, and Cystic fibrosis. There are many symptoms of asthma but here are the most noticeable: Coughing, especially at night,wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness,…

In 2010 The Australian Bureau of Statistics [2] found that pneumonia had a mortality rate of 2,322, where more females were affected than males. In 2007, a study conducted by Anthony T Newall, Professor Paul A Scuffham and Brent Hodgkinson regarding the cost of Influenza to the Australian Health System, found that over the past 5 years…

The respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. The lungs are the main organs in the respiratory system. According to the American Lung Association, red blood cells collect the oxygen from the lungs and carry it throughout the body where it is needed. As the red blood cells travel through the body, they collect the carbon dioxide, taking it back to the lungs where it is then exhaled. The human body needs oxygen in order to sustain itself. The average…
