irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes abundant it triggers the cough reflex. c. There are macrophages found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli that normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter. d. The excess mucus and fluid in the lungs would raise the resistance of Cari’s airways because of the small diameter the build-up would cause. The fluid would

Chapter 4 Exchange Background e-Learning Objectives Exchange surfaces All of the cells in your body need constant supplies of oxygen and nutrients‚ and need to get rid of waste materials‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ that are produced in their metabolic reactions. These substances are obtained from‚ or released to‚ the external environment‚ through your body’s surface. Cells and organisms have problems of scale to solve as they get bigger. As an organism gets Cube with 1 cm sides bigger‚ both its

Service Capacity * Service Capacity is defined as the maximum level of value-added activity‚ which can be consistently achieved over a period of time under normal operating conditions. * The important consideration is that the service provider should be able to sustain provision of service at such a rate comfortably under normal working conditions. * It can be expressed as : 1. Max. number of patient attended by a Doctor / hr. 2. Max. number of calls attended by a Executive

order to determine the results there were two main processes that had to be preformed. These processes include inhalation and exhalation. Inhalation‚ or inspiration occurs when air is moving into your lungs. The second processes‚ exhalation‚ or expiration occurs when air is moving out of your lungs (Gutiereez‚ 2014). Even though inhalation was not directly measured by any of these three tests‚ in order to accurately measure the exhalation rate‚ which was measured in these three tests‚ you had to

Hyperventilation: is the alveolar ventilation exceeding metabolic demands. B. Acute respiratory failure: A condition that occurs when fluid builds up the air sacs in your lungs. Is defined as inadequate gas exchange such as PaO2 less than 50mm Hg or PaCO2 greater than 50 mmHG and with pH less than 7.25. Can result from direct injury of the lungs‚ airways‚ or chest wall or indirectly because of injury to another body system. 5. The answer is B. Atelectasis.

tests measure lung volumes. There are many reasons spirometry testing is done. Most common would be to assess lung function in disease process‚ but studies are also done in exercise testing for lung capacity and expenditure of oxygen. Speech Language Pathologists are also concerned with Spirometry testing. The lungs are the power house of speech; therefore in assessing speech disorders‚ it is necessary to understand lung volumes and their role in speech production. Physicians such as lung specialists
