Respiratory tract

The Respiratory System Organisation of cells in the system Specialised multicellular cells are very important when it comes to the organisation of cells in any type of system. Multicellular organisms are organisms which are made up of many different cells as opposed to unicellular organisms which are single celled. Multicellular organisms undergo functions such as obtaining food, moving, defending and reproducing (example of a multicellular animal); these functions are the response of the…

Another is Burkholderia cepacia which is a serious bacterial infection for patients with cystic fibrosis and is caused by a cystic fibrosis patient near another patient with cystic fibrosis with casual contact. The infection lives in respiratory tracts and becomes resistant to antibiotic therapy really quickly Cystic fibrosis can be detected before the symptoms show and one way to do that is by a sweat test which is used to text the chloride level in a person's sweat or a blood test to see…

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…

I. Introduction The human respiratory system allows cells to have indirect contact with the external environment through gas exchange. This association permits cells to exchange metabolic by-products like carbon dioxide for oxygen. These oxygen molecules are a vital component for cellular metabolism and ATP production. Furthermore, the function of the respiratory system also encompasses homeostatic regulation of pH levels based on partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Changes are…

Define the pathological condition, disease or syndrome. Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone. This can be from externally introduced bacteria fungi, parasites and viruses, or from a pathogen introduced via the blood stream from an infection of another body system (McCance and Huether, 2014). The pathogen invades the bone and elicits the inflammatory response (McCance, and Huether, 2014). For bone tissue, this includes engorged vessels, active leukocytes, thrombosis of small blood…

Foundation.1 Cystic fibrosis does not just affect the respiratory system, it also encompasses other body systems. These include exocrine gland function, pancreas insufficiency, high chloride concentrations in the sweat, kidneys, liver, and intestines. Cystic fibrosis patients also have abnormalities in sodium and chloride production which aids in the dysfunction of the mucociliary transport…

Oxygen As soon as the dog has been rescued from the fire, an airway must be established in order to allow the dog to get sufficient oxygen. Suction and tubing can be used if swelling is minor to administer the oxygen. If swelling in the upper respiratory tract is too severe, an opening may need to be made in the trachea via a tracheostomy to allow the dog to receive oxygen. Oxygen should be administered immediately after the dog is rescued in order to displace the amount of carbon monoxide in…

landing of the apartment building? Does she need to exercise more to increase endurance? As we age our respiratory system changes our muscle strength decreases, there is a decrease in gas exchange and diffusing capacity, also decreased cough efficiency. My health promotions would be for Mrs. Smith to exercise regularly, avoid smoking, increase fluid intake, and avoid exposure to respiratory tract infections (Canadian Textbook of MEDICAL-SURGICAL NURSING,…

Danger of the ozone in the Air we breathe Air pollution is a sensitive topic. The air we are breathing could be the leading cause of human illnesses in the United States. The most common illnesses caused by air pollution is Lung Disease also known as Asthma .We know this is the most common illness, but what we don’t know is what or who are causing the ozone to go bad. To quote Amanda Spake, author of the article don’t Breathe The Air. “ The outdoors was once a simple prescription for good…

identified as Serratia liquefaciens and this information was received from the patient, Doris. This unknown is a part of the Serratia genus according to Brown’s Microbiological Application1, is a gram-negative rods that are usually found in the digestive tract. The data was gathered by isolating the organism and various tests were carried out, and observations from scientific literature were used to affirm that the organism is S. liquefaciens. Most of the tests carried out included cultural…
