Respiratory System Respiration: The primary function of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen gas for cell metabolism and remove carbon dioxide waste. Describe each of the following general processes of respiration. Ventilation- air is moved into and out of the lungs so the gases there are continuously changed and refreshed external respiration- oxygen diffuses from the lungs to the blood‚ and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the lungs gas transport- oxygen is transported

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Discussion One of the most common musculoskeletal disorders is scoliosis. It is a disorder which causes an abnormal curvature of the backbone or spine. Since the spine normally has curvatures when seen from the sides‚ the curvature associated to scoliosis can be seen from the front. Scoliosis is two-times more predominant in females than in males. It can occur at any age but is more common in people over 10 years of age. It is hereditary

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM WEBQUEST 1. Describe the function of the nasal and oral pharynx for breathing. The ph arynx is a muscular funnel that extends from the back of the nose to the larynx‚ or voice box. The nasal pharynx’s function is to allow air passage through it. The oral pharynx has both respiratory and digestive functions since it serves as a passageway for air‚ food‚ and water. 2. Describe the structure and function of the epiglottis. The epiglottis is one of the nine cartilagous structures

The respiratory system carries out gas exchange; major organs in the system include: the nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ and lungs. The major function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. In order for this to happen‚ at least four events called respiration must occur. The first is the pulmonary ventilation. The air must move in and out of the lungs so that the gases in the alveoli are continuously refreshed. This process is better known
