Answers 1a) On graph paper 1b) At molecular level‚ Haemoglobin is a protein made of four subunits bound together. Each of the subunits consists of a molecular group known as ‘heme’ and a polypeptide attached to the ‘heme’. The ‘heme’ group contains one atom of iron (Fe²+) and it is this iron that the oxygen molecule combines itself to. As there are four of the iron molecules in the haemoglobin this shows that a maximum of four oxygen molecules can be carried by the haemoglobin at anytime. For simplicity

find myself increasingly more interested in knowing how and why these clinical advances become the best practice in rehabilitating individuals. As a Respiratory Therapist‚ my rehabilitation practice is not as traditional as other Allied Health rehabilitation experience. Many of my respiratory clients are individuals requiring some sort of respiratory support; either with invasive mechanical ventilation‚ inhaler treatments or non- invasive support such as BIPAP/CPAP therapy. Rehabilitation of a ventilated

Respiratory DiseaseLeslie ThompsonHCS/245September 22‚ 2014Sheela AlvaradoRespiratory DiseaseThe respiratory system involves breathing and the exchange of gases. It supplies oxygen to vital cells to live and function correctly. It also helps get rid of carbon dioxide‚ which is a product of cellular waste. The respiratory system is divided into two parts the upper respiratory system includes the nose‚ sinuses‚ larynx‚ pharynx‚ and mouth. The lower respiratory system which make up the lungs includes

An explanation of the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. (P4) In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body‚ the Respiration system and the Digestive system. I will start off by giving a definition of energy metabolism in the body. Metabolism in the body is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body’s cells. Metabolism converts the nutrients in the

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) Introduction of the Lungs: The primary role of our respiratory system is the exchange of gases in our blood stream. As we inhale our lungs take in Oxygen (O2)‚ as we exhale our lungs release Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The major parts of the respiratory system consist of; The upper respiratory tract consists of the nose‚ sinuses‚ mouth‚ larynx and throat. The lower respiratory tract consists of trachea‚ bronchial tubes and the lungs. The right lung

How is the cardiovascular system involved in water regulation? Things we’ll be talking about: Why is water regulation important? Water regulation is important as it helps to maintain all the systems within the human and makes sure they are functioning properly. A person loses and gains water every day‚ this is fine as long as the water balance within the body stays at a constant level. If a person gains more water than they lose then this is called a positive water balance. But if a person loses
