Respiratory System A frog’s respiratory system is much different than humans. First‚ the lungs in a frog have thin walls and are shaped like balloons. When frogs swim‚ they fill their lungs with air‚ which helps them stay buoyant while swimming. Frogs also do not have diaphragms compared to humans. They only breathe through their nose. They use muscles in their throat sacs to help move the air in‚ and then is pushed to the lungs. During this time‚ their mouth is closed. Body contractions allow

Respiratory problem are often the case in newborns. It accounts for nearly half of neonatal deaths. Research by Kumar & Bhat (1996‚ p.93) states that Respiratory Depression (RD) is a common neonatal problem that generally occurs in preterm infants due to surfactant deficiency which relates to antenatal history of immature lung development and term infants of diabetic mothers. To describe some of the common diagnosis associated with RD are: Transient Tachypnea of the newborn (TTNB) was found

The digestive‚ respiratory and the cardiovascular system are all interrelated in order to make the human body work effectively and efficiently by working as an orchestra. The cardiovascular system and the respiratory will work together in order to perform the gas exchange which is passing of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood flow and then the carbon dioxide passes trough the blood flow and is breathed out from the body. This means oxygen (in) CO2 (out).

Respiratory therapy treatments‚ medications‚ and the diet are coordinated in order to promote optimal body function of the child. According to London et al (2007) psychosocial support and reinforcement of the child’s daily care needs are important in preparation for home care. Respiratory therapy treatments‚ including chest physiotherapy‚ are done before meals to clear secretions because coughing

constancy of alveolar gas tensions. Firstly it is important to understand what the anatomical dead space and FRC actually are. The anatomical dead space refers to the gas in the conducting areas of the respiratory system where air does not come into contact with alveoli. Examples of places in the respiratory system where anatomical dead space is present are the mouth and trachea. The functional residual capacity is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a normal and passive expiration. It is

Asthma Asthma is a respiratory disease. Asthma has a high reactivity of the bronchial tubes to various stimuli and that reaction blocks air flow by narrowing and obstructing the trachea and lungs. (Woollbert‚ Robert‚ 1996) This causes difficulty breathing‚ and while it’s normally temporary and reversible it can still be life threatening. Normally a person with Asthma has triggers. There are two main sections triggers fall under‚ a viral illness or an allergy. A viral illness is
