respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by couching. - A long drawn and deep inhalation followed by a complete closure of the glottis‚ which results in a strong exhalation that suddenly pushes the glottis open and sends a blast of air through the upper respiratory passages. Stimulus for this reflex act may be a foreign body lodged in the larynx‚ trachea‚ or epiglottis. C.)

Before you read this one thing you should know is that although running can be very beneficial to the human body‚ not everyone is built the same‚ thus‚ not everyone is made to run. With that said‚ running is a part of many people’s daily lives and most of these people have learned how far they can push themselves without causing too much strain on their bodies.

Each lung is surrounded by two layers of serous 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

after surgery‚ when they have pneumonia‚ a lung disease like (COPD)‚ or if they become on extensive bed rest. The patient may find that they can only take small‚ shallow breaths. Breathing this way makes it harder to get air into the patient lungs and can cause fluid and mucus to build up in the lungs. This could cause a serious lung infection like pneumonia. An incentive spirometer is a breathing exercise used to help a patient take deep breaths and keep lungs clear after surgery. Spirometer measures

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine‚ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease impacting the lungs‚ making it increasingly hard to breathe. The two main forms of COPD are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The majority of people who suffer from COPD have a combination of both forms which leads to long-term coughing with excessive mucus and progressive lung damage. The main cause of COPD is smoking or long-term exposure to second-hand smoke or heavy pollution‚ but there are
