Respiratory therapy

Breathe in People breathe deeply to live others hold in to live longer. Breathe in, and out, feels normal right? Well, what’s not normal is what you may have taken in. It is well known that we all need air to keep the machine that we call our body alive. Cleaner air is essential to maintaining a healthy life, and you may not know that until you take in the problem through nose and mouth. This problem has begun to take its toll on many of our elderly, people with asthma and children; often…

in the body. When complications with infections occur regions of the lung can fill with fluid, also babies born premature can have underdeveloped lungs causing increased surface tension. These cause the lungs to remain closed, a disease called respiratory distress syndrome. The deformation of biological cells when exposed to different flow conditions is a problem. Surface tension on an air–liquid boundary creates liquid flows, which causes the lung to close due to the formation of a liquid…

THE AMAZING CIRCULATORY SYSTEM The circulatory system preforms many different jobs. It carries oxygen to the cells of the body and it also caries nutrients throughout the body to make heat and energy. In addition to that, the vascular system delivers hormones to specific organs. Another thing the circulatory system does is collect metabolic waste and deliver it to the excretory glands. Lastly, the circulatory system works with the immune system to help fight infection and defend. The fact that…

Asthma Introduction: What is asthma? When you’re breathing healthy you will not notice the process as it isn’t a struggle. Asthma is a common long term inflammatory disease of the airways. From my reading of what asthma is on the Society of Asthma website I have discovered that it affects the airways in your lungs. The airways (alveoli) in your lungs have small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. The Asthma Society of Ireland says that when the airways become sensitive to the cold or…

Cigarettes consist of many harmful chemicals. One of those chemicals is Nicotine which is a highly toxic substance that causes many respiratory diseases like respiratory muscle paralysis, it also negatively affects the central nervous system. Nevertheless, scientific researches proved that the concentration of Nicotine in cigarettes increased by 16% in the time period between 1998 and 2004 according to the Massachusetts department of public health. Since Nicotine is an addictive substance, this…

Introduction Antibiotics were initially thought of as a superior drug that could kill many bacterial diseases. Prior to antibiotics, it was hard for anyone to fight a bacteria. However, bacteria are very changing and have begun being able to gain resistance against antibiotics due to overuse, not strong enough dosage of antibiotics, or improper use. By determining the resistance and cross-resistance, one may determine the the relative ability for bacteria to gain resistance to antibiotics. We…

The respiratory system is composed by a set of organs that are involved when breathing. The anatomy of the respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, bronchi, lungs, alveoli and the diaphragm. There some organs of the respiratory system that are responsible for the process of breathing. The nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs permit the gas exchange to happen at the cellular level. The air enters through the nose and mouth and it goes into the lungs to…

Smoking and the Respiratory System The respiration system is one of the prime systems in human body because its function is to deliver oxygen to the lungs in order to exchange gases. Many reasons can cause the function of the respiration system not to perform well and cause the diseases; smoking is one of the main reason and the most dangerous cause that can cause diseases in human body. Since there are many parts of respiration system and functions of each part perform dependently, smoking can…

addition, a big percentage of the annual cost of health and quality of life due to environmental degradation; in other words, the disclosure to air, water, and soil pollution, to some chemicals in the surroundings, or to clamor, can cause cancer, respiratory, and cardiovascular illness, as well as kidney toxicity. For example, 43% of the children’s mortality, between 0-14 years old, is blamed to poor environmental…

The respiratory system is the major system of organs that facilitates the process of respiration. This system controls a gas exchange which involves the distribution of oxygen throughout the body and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body as waste. In other words, it plays a crucial role along with the circulatory system during the action of breathing and maintains a constant supply of oxygen into the bloodstream. In turn, the respiratory system provides trillions of cells with energy from…
