Asthma: Disease of the respiratory system Breathing‚ the act of inhaling and exhaling of air. Oddly enough this process is an absolute necessity for life and yet we do not control it. There are two systems involved in our ability to breathe one is the parasympathetic nervous system and the other is the respiratory system. The parasympathetic nervous system controls the body ’s unconscious actions that are necessary to live such as the beating of the heart. The Respiratory system mainly consists of

low level of nitrogen dioxide may trigger asthma and causing the formation of fluid inside the lung 1 or 2 days after inhaled. If people inhaled a high level of NO2‚ the gas will cause spasms‚ rapid burning‚ the tissues in the throat and upper respiratory tract swollen‚ the fluid also form in the lungs and the oxygenation of the body cell reduced‚ even may lead to die. Second one is the carbon monoxide (CO)‚ it produced by the incomplete combustion of the vehicle gas. It is a “silent-killer” since

back into sulfur dioxide and water when left standing. In addition‚ sulfurous acid is a crucial component to acid rain (1). H2SO3 causes burns in all exposure routes‚ its target organs are the respiratory system if inhaled‚ eyes through direct contact‚ skin through direct contact and gastrointestinal system if ingested. However‚ there is no chronic health hazards with H2SO3 (2). If Sulfurous acid is inhaled medical attention should be sought out immediately‚ the individual should be removed from

Aging is something that continuously happens throughout life‚ which produces a lot of changes throughout the body. With that being said‚ many changes throughout the body affect the respiratory system. As individuals age‚ bones of the body become thin‚ weak‚ and change shape. The ribcage is affected by this change and can alter a person’s breathing as it becomes unable to expand and contract the way it used to. Muscles in the body also become weak. If the muscle that supports breathing‚ called the

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. The respiratory system is the biological system that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. The structure and function of the parts of the respiratory system. * The nose or nasal cavity warms the air that we breath to prevent damage to the delicate tissues that form the respiratory system. It is lined with cilia and mucous secretions to help filter out solid particles.

the transportation sector is becoming increasingly linked to environmental problems. With a technology relying heavily on the combustion of hydrocarbons‚ notably with the internal combustion engine‚ the impacts of transportation over environmental systems has increased with motorization. This has reached a point where transportation activities are a dominant factor behind the emission of most pollutants and thus their impacts on the environment. This paper will provide information on the danger

Critically Evaluate the Training of Mo Farah and Explain the Physiological Changes that will Occur. Mo Farah had to go through tough training to become the athlete he is today. Due to Mo’s type of events‚ (10‚000 and 5‚000 meters) he needs a high aerobic capacity and VO2 max. Aerobic capacity is how well the lungs‚ heart and the blood vessels work together‚ and VO2 Max is the maximum oxygen consumption attainable during maximal work. VO2 max can only be improved in 10 – 20% of the population
