Humans and the Rat Respiratory System The human respiratory system is very similar‚ if not practically identical‚ to the respiratory system of a rat. The only notable difference is the division of the lobes in human lungs. The left lung of a rat is composed of 1 lobe‚ while the right lung has 4 lobes. The right lung of a human contains 3 lobes and the left lung is composed of 2 lobes. Other than that (and some structural differences along with size) the human and rat respiratory systems work in the same

Respiratory Volumes Activity 2: Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1. Minute respiratory volume: 7‚500 ml 2. Judging from the trace you generated‚ inspiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 3. Expiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 4. Does the duration of inspiration or expiration vary during ERV or FVC? Yes Activity 3: Effect of Restricted Air Flow on Respiratory Volumes 5.

Ms. Paula Weston English 101-57 30 October 2012 In the World of Respiratory Therapy When you graduate high school most of us look forward to going to college and starting a new chapter in our lives. There are many choices of fields to choose from when we enter college. Some of us know right from the start what we want to do and some of us don’t. I have had many ideas of what I might want to pick as my career for the rest of my life. It first started out with wanting to be a teacher‚ and then

The Path of Respiratory Therapy Introduction About a year ago‚ I came home from work one night and walked into the kitchen to where my mother was standing. There was a feeling of uneasiness and the panic began to clench my stomach. She looked so sad‚ so stressed; maybe it was the frizzy hair‚ the bags beneath her eyes‚ the way her back slouched in a low negative curve‚ or her eyes. Her eyes looked at me before she turned them away‚ but in that fragment of a second‚ it’s almost like I could look

Respiratory complication is one of the common causes of death‚ and my grandfather passed away from aspiration pneumonia couple years ago. Although we inadvertently breath air for granted‚ I observed many patients who had a difficulty breathing like my grandfather while shadowing a physician in ICU. Some of them had a lung surgery‚ while others were able to recover from a minimally invasive procedure using bronchoscopy. Certainly‚ my interest towards this field might change as I encounter new physicians
