Both the cardiovascular and respiratory system help each other by working together to make sure that the tissues of the body are getting the correct amount of oxygen so that they can help the body to work efficiently as possible. They also help to make sure that carbon dioxide is forced out. The cardiovascular and respiratory system start to work together when the oxygen from the surroundings/environment enter through the nose‚ this will start the process where the body will receive the oxygen.

Air enters the nose by passing through the external nares or nostrils. The mucosa lining the nasal cavity‚ called the respiratory mucosa‚ warms the air as it flows pa Respiratory physiology The major function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen and to dispose of carbon dioxide. To do this‚ at least four distinct events‚ collectively called respiration‚ must occur: 1. Pulmonary ventilation Air must move into and out of the lungs so that the gases in

TUTORIAL 2: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM OBJECTIVE QUESTION 1) High-flying birds are able to obtain enough oxygen even when the air is very thin because A) they have more efficient lungs than other vertebrates. B) they have reduced amounts of hemoglobin in their blood. C) their mitochondria are more efficient than those of other vertebrates. D) their heart can increase or decrease in size as altitude changes. E) they are able to store oxygen in oxygen chambers within muscle cells. 2) If you were to move from

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)

function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe‚ we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system’s means of getting oxygen to the blood. The regulation of breathing is the result of a complex interaction involving a system of sensors‚ a respiratory control center‚ and an effector system to carry out its

her sinuses because her sinuses became an area that her nasal passages and pharynx could drain into. In here the drainage just sat there and became a breeding ground for bacteria. B) What is the Cough Reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? a. The cough reflex is used to get things like irritants and fluid which causes us to have sputum out of the nasal passage and pharynx. The cilia or little hairs that are in our trachea is trying to

There are many type of disease that can affect the Respiratory system. The disease that can affect this system is Lung Cancer‚ Bronchitis‚ Emphysema and Pneumonia. The disease that can affect the system as well is called Asthma. This disease is one of the common diseases I’ve known beside lung cancer. Asthma is a lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. When the airways get inflamed‚ it causes the airways to become swollen and the muscles around it tighten. This makes it difficult for
