The importance of the Respiratory system is quite obvious given that as human beings we need this system to help us with our most fatal tasks of breathing. Although the importance is assumed and acknowledged‚ many do not really get the whole concept of the Respiratory system. For example‚ how it works? Why it works? And what all is involved. These questions and others will be strategically answered in the following work. The Respiratory System delivers oxygen to the body and takes the carbon

pneumonia (CAP) is one of several diseases in which individuals who have not recently been hospitalized develop an infection of the lungs (pneumonia). CAP is a common illness and can affect people of all ages. CAP often causes problems like difficulty in breathing‚ fever‚ chest pains‚ and a cough. CAP occurs because the areas of the lung which absorb oxygen (alveoli) from the atmosphere become filled with fluid and cannot work effectively. * CAP occurs throughout the world and is a leading cause of illness

Emphysema in children is usually caused by congenital abnormalities of the lung and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.In emphysema‚ the patient can breathe in but breathing out is difficult and inefficient. The seriousness of emphysema varies greatly. Some persons with emphysema never reach a stage of incapacity and go through life with relatively little

Pg. 969 Due to Allen’s fall he likely has an incompetent diaphragm due to injuring a cervical segment. This would alter effect the lower motor neurons and external intercostal muscles. This would cause his chest x-ray to show a decreased lung expansion. This may have caused Allen to have to take rapid shallow

membrane known as pleurae. These are: Visceral pleura; covers the surface of the lung Parietal pleura; lines the thoracic wall The space in between is called the pleural cavity and it is filled with pleural fluid. This fluid assists breathing movements by acting as a/an lubricant. 3. Bronchial tree: Air flows from the trachea through the primary‚ secondary‚ and tertiary bronchi to smaller and smaller bronchi. The trachea and bronchi contain cartilage to keep the airways open. Bronchi
