Reactive airway disease‚ also known as asthma‚ is characterized by a constricting of the airway that carries oxygen to our lungs. This is caused by the air passages inflaming. Although‚ there are many treatments for asthma‚ it is still a very severe and hazardous disease that causes almost 2 million emergencies a year and affects nearly 26 million Americans (What 1). There are many aspects to this disease that are very important including; the 3 main features‚ the types of asthmas along with the

2.02 Circulatory: What are the functions of blood? Transportation: Carries oxygen to tissues‚ Carbon Dioxide from tissues‚ nutrients and waste products. Regulation: circulates excess heat to body surfaces and lungs. PH is regulated through buffers and amino acids that it carries. Protection: Circulates antibodies and defensive cells to combat infection and disease‚ also produces clots to prevent excessive loss of blood. Functions of blood components Plasma: Makes up about 55% of blood volume. Plasma

pneumonia). As the air sacs may fill with fluid this can produce cough with pus or phlegm‚ fever‚ chills‚ and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia is often a complication of a pre-existing condition or infection that may be initiated if the individual’s immune system is weak. Pneumonia causes the air flow to diminish both in and out.

Breathing Aids Paper Bag – used when hyperventilating or when having a panic attack. When hyperventilating the person gets rid of too much carbon dioxide from the blood and takes in too much oxygen causing them to find it difficult to breathe. Breathing into a paper bag helps them hypoventilate to the point where they are calmed and can breathe at a normal rate again. This is because you exhale 17% oxygen‚ 4% carbon dioxide and 89% nitrogen so rebreathing this air will help you inhale more carbon

Respiratory Disorders Management and Care Our respiratory system is like a battery in our car‚ without it we will not be able to generate the heart and the rest of our body. There is an old proverb that states‚ "Life is in the breath. He who half breathes half lives." If you have allergies‚ asthma‚ or other breathing problems‚ this proverb may sound very familiar. But a greater understanding of your breathing problems‚ along with an accurate medical diagnosis and effective treatment‚ can help

The Relationship Between Work Rate And Oxygen Uptake During Incremental Submaximal Exercise Introduction Oxygen uptake () describes the rate at which oxygen is utilized by tissues (Burton et al‚ 2004). is determined by heart rate (heart beats each minute)‚ stroke volume (the volume of blood pumped from one ventricle each beat) and arteriovenous oxygen difference (difference in blood-oxygen content between arterial and venous blood). Oxygen is needed for respiration‚ the chemical process that

Anatomy of the lungs: The lungs are in the thoracic cavity on either sides of the heart and are cone shaped. Each lung is divided into superior and inferior lobes. The right lung also has a middle lobe on top of those two. They are spongy air filled organs. The trachea‚ which is also referred to as the windpipe‚ conducts air into the lungs through the bronchi. The bronchi are further divided into smaller branches called bronchioles. Those then end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli
