Respiratory system

In the respiratory system you can found nose which is a pathway for air and this is where the oxygen get into the lung and carbon dioxide into the air .Pharynx also known as throat is an other way which air can also enter into the lungs through the mouth. Air also enters into the larynx also known as voice box. It have two main functions as it is a passageway for air to enter into the lungs and a source of vocalization. The epiglottis is a tissue a flap-like cartilage structure contained in…

brain, there are respiratory centers that are the central control of ventilation. They are located within the brainstem and their job is to adjust ventilation when they receive signals of changes in the chemical composition. Changes in the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide or oxygen and changes in blood pH have a major effect on ventilation. For example, when the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and blood pH are altered, it sends a message to the respiratory control center…

Homeostasis is a continuing balance of the body systems to maintain normal function. All systems within the body must work together to keep this balance. If one system should begin to function abnormally, it can throw off the body's entire homeostasis, or steady state. The cardiovascular systems distributes oxygen rich blood from the lungs to all of the body's organs and tissues by its heart pump and many arteries and veins. Cells throughout absorb what oxygen and nutrients are needed and then…

Our bodies maintain many complex systems in order to have a consistent internal environment to achieve homeostasis. The lungs which are part of the respiratory system play a crucial role in homeostasis by controlling our breathing. The lungs provide the appropriate interface for gas exchange to occur, this includes the delivery of oxygen to the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide carried in the blood to the alveoli which is then expired out of the body. The removal of carbon dioxide also…

There are a 11 body systems there is the INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM which The integumentary system is the organ system that protects the body from various kinds of damage There is also the MUSCULAR SYSTEM The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. There is also the SKELETAL SYSTEM The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is…

trace and table of results for each exercise. Email the report to yourself and use your results to answer the following questions, including the trace and table of results where appropriate. You should read through your lecture notes on the respiratory system; the background information for this class on Moodle; and section 23-7 in Martini (2012) p830-838. Please hand your individual work into the Student Centre by the deadline. Exercise 1: Lung Volumes and Capacities The…

As the diaphragm contracts and the intercostal muscles relax, a negative intrathoracic pressure is created which generates a pressure gradient between what is currently higher air pressure outside the respiratory airways, thus directing airflow into the nostrils towards the lungs. A molecule of oxygen near the nostril is sucked in to this moving air and enters the nasal cavity where it experiences turbulence due to the irregular path created by the nasal conchae and nasal meatuses. Here, other…

Animals and plants are sister taxa, meaning that they branch off from eukaryote, at the same point. I find these two to be the most closely related, for this reason. Just like we have a reproductive, cardiovascular and digestive system, so does the coyote. The reproductive system consists of the mouth, throat, liver, pancreas, stomach, large and small intestine and colon. Food will be chewed and then swallowed. It will then travel the very long way through the throat, to the stomach where it…

There are two main types of gas exchanges in the respiratory system. Alveolar gas exchange or external respiration and the systemic gas exchange which is also considered to be internal respiration. The Alveolar Gas exchange is the inhalation of Oxygen and the exhalation of Carbon Dioxide into the pulmonary artery. The pressure gradients affect how oxygen can diffuse down across the respiratory membrane from the alveolar air into the blood, or carbon dioxide diffusing from the capillary into…

The innate aspect of the immune system has been negatively affected from this injury, and as Grossman and Porth (2014) described, the “the destruction of the skin also prevents the delivery of cellular components of the immune system to the site of injury” (p. 1570). Broad spectrum antibiotics may be used to reduce this risk, due to the high mortality of burn-related sepsis. Reverse…
