Maud van Gellecum Ms. Miehl END 1D October 16 2013 Running is the Best Sport Ever A great fraction of people on the planet play a sport. Most people prefer to play a team sport to satisfy their needs and for many social reasons. However‚ although running is not a team sport‚ it is the best sport out there. Running is the best sport ever because it’s a way to keep your body in shape‚ it gives you a great rush after you’re finished and because it improves your health. Running is the best sport because

Starting at the femoral vein which is located in the upper right thigh and pelvic region of the body and runs close to the femoral artery. The femoral vein returns blood in the leg to the heart via the iliac vein. As we go north pass through the external and common iliac

features such as air sacs. The lungs of birds also do not have the capacity to inflate as birds lack a diaphragm and a pleural cavity. Gas exchange in birds occurs between air capillaries and blood capillaries‚ rather than in alveoli. Reptiles X-ray video of a female American alligator while breathing. The anatomical structure of the lungs is less complex in reptiles than in mammals‚ with reptiles lacking the very extensive airway tree structure found in mammalian lungs. Gas exchange in reptiles

respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? A cough reflex has both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) components. Pulmonary irritant receptors (cough receptors) in the epithelium of the respiratory tract are sensitive to both mechanical and chemical stimuli. Stimulation of the cough receptors by dust or other foreign particles produces a cough‚ which is necessary to remove the foreign material from the respiratory tract before it reaches the lungs. A long drawn and deep inhalation

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

Pulmonary disease or lung disease is any disease or disorder that occurs in the lungs or that causes the lungs or that causes the lungs not to work correctly. Some diseases or disorders that affect the lungs are Pneumothrax‚ Pneumonia‚ Hemothorax‚ and Infectious Mononucleosis: Epstein - Barr virus Infection. There are many signs‚ symptoms‚ treatments and medications for Pulmonary diseases. Symptoms and signs for Pneumothorax varies from patient to patient but usually includes Sudden and sharp

aEmphysema Emphysema is a long-term lung disease that results in the destruction of the alveolar walls. Many individuals have both bronchitis‚ which involves a long term couch with mucus‚ and emphysema. This condition is often referred to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. People with this disease do not get enough oxygen and suffer buildup of carbon dioxide in their blood. In normal breathing‚ air is drawn in through the bronchi and into the alveoli‚ which are tiny sacs surrounded

Pneumonia‚ Restrictive or Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder Medically pneumonia can be explained as infection of the lungs‚ this infection can be either bacterial‚ viral or fungi infection in which the air sacs may fill with pus and may become solid. Inflammation can affect both lungs (double pneumonia)‚ only one lung (single pneumonia) or can be only in certain lobes (lobar pneumonia). As the air sacs may fill with fluid this can produce cough with pus or phlegm‚ fever‚ chills‚ and difficulty breathing

Measuring of Lung Capacity Introduction This lab report is over the functions of the lungs and a better understanding of how the respiratory function happens within your body. You will be measuring the amount of air you breathe in and out. This function is called tidal volume‚ which is about 500 cc of air. Second portion of the testing procedure will be determining the amount of vital capacity or maximum amount your lungs can expel. You will be working in pairs with a lab partner and take turns recording
