Case Study for Respiratory Disorders #2 Scenario A.W.‚ a 52-year-old woman disabled from severe emphysema‚ was walking at a mall when she suddenly grabbed her right side and gasped‚ “Oh‚ something just popped.” A.W. whispered to her walking companion‚ “I can’t get any air.” Her companion yelled for someone to call 911 and helped her to the nearest bench. By the time the rescue unit arrived‚ A.W. was stuporous and in severe respiratory distress. She was intubated‚ an IV of lactated Ringer’s (LR)

The Respiratory Rate of Goldfish Affected in Lower Water Temperature Introduction: Temperature is a key influence that can change the respiratory rate of an ectothermic animal: Carassius auratus (commonly known as a goldfish). The respiration of a goldfish will change depending on certain factors. First‚ goldfish are exothermic‚ as are all fish. Their body temperature is determined largely by the temperature of the surrounding water. They absorb energy from the water (and to a far lesser extent

Effect of Substrate Choice On Growth Of Mealworms Abstract: The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourish a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth

They eat dry leaves‚ grass‚ dead insects and other animals. They will not eat sound wood. They carry a disease called gastrointestinal infestations‚ which is highly dangerous when consumed by humans. They are yellow mealworm for only a short 6 to 18 days. Mealworms are more likely to be in the northern cooler states. They are believed to be

oxygen and respiratory disease. Respiratory disease is the term used for defining diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ emphysema and asthma. Common signs and symptoms of respiratory disease are coughing‚ wheezing‚ dyspnoea and production of abnormal secretions like sputum and haemoptysis (Jenkins et al 2008). Respiratory disease accounted for 8.4% of the registered deaths in Australia in 2007. There was an estimated 6.6% increase in deaths caused by respiratory disease from

Complete information on the mechanism of Respiratory System in Man NIRMALA AGARWAL Respiratory organs are those which are concerned with the passage of the air to and from the lungs. The latter are‚ of course‚ mot important of all. The passage is also called respiratory tract. For the sake of convenience‚ the respiratory tract can be divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part extends from the external nostrils (external openings of nose) to the vocal sac present in the neck. The lower part

The Respiratory System is crucial to every human being. Without it‚ we would cease to live outside of the womb. Let us begin by taking a look at the structure of the respiratory system and how vital it is to life. During inhalation or exhalation air is pulled towards or away from the lungs‚ by several cavities‚ tubes‚ and openings. The organs of the respiratory system make sure that oxygen enters our bodies and carbon dioxide leaves our bodies. The respiratory tract is the path of air from the

Respiratory system: The respiratory system is a combination of the Circulatory and Pulmonary systems feeding oxygen and nutrients to cells all around the body. These systems allow oxygen to enter the body‚ and be circulated around the body at a varying rate. These two systems work in conjunction with each other and have various rates of operation that are usually in as close a correlation as possible. Circulatory System: The circulatory system’s primary responsibility is to circulate oxygenated
