Respiratory system

Experiment 14.1 The Histology of the Lung Introduction: This experiment will give you a change to see an alveolus, a capillary, and the respiratory membrane. Procedure: I studied a slide of a lung tissue and observed the various structures, mainly the alveoli, capillaries, and the respiratory membrane. I then drew pictures of the structures in different microscope powers. Summary: Very briefly, we will discuss how air travels to the lungs. First, air travels down your larynx, and then into…

The Upper Respiratory Tract The human respiratory system involves complex organization of structural and defense mechanisms for the inhalation and exhalation of gases. The primary function of the respiratory system is to breathe air, provide oxygen to the bloodstream, and expel carbon dioxide. The respiratory system also provides transport of respiratory gases, internal respiration, pulmonary ventilation, and external respiration. There are two zones of the respiratory system, the conducting…

alive and your other organs function in the way that they should be. The respiratory system, the system that brings oxygen into your body and delivers it to the blood to be sent around for everything else to use. Breathing out seems like a simple task but it takes many different anatomical parts of your body and physiology to get the oxygen where it needs to go. There is also pathophysiology that will play a role in the system and the way that things may go wrong and oxygen may not get where it…

decreases progressively from wholly aquatic, to intertidal, to land species; and is greater in young crabs than in older crabs. Often the gills are enclosed in protective chambers, and ventilation is provided by specialized appendages that create the respiratory current. As in cephalopod mollusks, oxygen utilization is relatively high—up to 70 percent of the oxygen is extracted from the water passing over the gills in the European crayfish Astacus. A decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in…

Introduction The respiratory system allows you to obtain oxygen, eliminate carbon dioxide, and regulate the blood’s pH level. The process of taking in air is known as inspiration, while the process of blowing out air is called expiration. A respiratory cycle consists of one inspiration and one expiration. To accomplish this major function known as respiration, these four processes (pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, transport of respiratory gases and internal respiration) must happen…

is through the use of a respiratory and circulatory system (Harris-Haller, 226). The respiratory system includes the lungs, and the cardiovascular system includes the heart. The evolution of the heart started from a two-chambered heart of a fish to a four-chambered heart in mammals (Harris-Haller, 229). The purpose of the experiment is to study the cardiopulmonary function of humans. Collecting data from a spirometry, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate, the anatomy…

that organ there is a cell called Alveoli. The major thing the Alveoli does is take air. The Alveoli can be deeply affected by Lung Cancer. Lung Cancer can kill the alveoli cell and cause death. The alveoli cell is apart of the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the mouth, nose, throat, lungs, and more. It takes in oxygen either through the nose or mouth and removes the carbon dioxide, this is also called respiration.When you take in air your ribs contract lifting them and…

blood and body tissues. Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction inside the mitochondria of cells in and cellular metabolism is converting energy in food to become ATP. 2. The olfactory mucosa is the lines of the roof in the nasal cavity. The respiratory mucosa is lining the rest of the nasal cavity and it’s important for defense. It contains mucus for trapping inhaled particles, mucus is pushing towards pharynx and swallowed, humidifies the incoming air. There is also lysozyme, which is an…

Bree Edwards October 12, 2015 Respiratory Therapy 210 What Does a Respiratory Therapist Do? Respiratory therapists are important health care professionals who provide care for patients with acute and chronic abnormal cardiopulmonary systems. They are educated and trained professionals who focus on providing quality respiratory care to patients. Almost seventy five percent of respiratory therapists work in a hospital setting while the other twenty five percent work in clinics, sleep study…

The respiratory system within the human body is consisted of many different organs and the lungs play a role in controlling the pH. There are times in which a patient respiratory status becomes compromised and the need for quick thinking or response from the health care professional, can help save the patient life. The respiratory imbalance experienced by the patient can be interpreted as metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis through the collection of an arterial blood gas. The patient lab…
