Research Paper The Respiratory System As humans‚ our body is made out of different systems‚ which work together to make us live day by day. One major system is the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the nose (the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses)‚ pharynx (throat)‚ larynx (voice box)‚ trachea (windpipe)‚ bronchi‚ and the lungs. The respiratory system begins from our respiratory tracts that carry air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs. Respiratory tract can be divided

Running: Effects on the Psychological and Physiological That day‚ for no particular reason‚ I decided to go for a little run. So‚ I ran to the end of the road‚ and when I got there‚ I thought maybe I ’d run to the end of town. And when I got there‚ I thought maybe I ’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured since I run this far‚ maybe I ’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that ’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason‚ I just kept on going. I ran

The respiratory system is an intricate network of organs all working together to insure a constant flow of gases‚ oxygen and carbon dioxide‚ to keep the body functioning at rest or during exertion’ (ehow). The respiratory system is made up of the nose‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ diaphragm and lungs. The aim of this assignment is to look at the structure and functions of the respiratory system and also provide an illustration of the respiratory system.. The lungs are an integral part of the human body‚

Bronchodilator: This drug causes dilation‚ or enlargement‚ of the opening of a bronchus to improve ventilation to the lungs. An example is albuterol

The cardiovascular system plays a vital role in circulating blood throughout the body to maintain human life. The system consists of a heart and blood vessels that help delivers blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the body organs and tissues for function. The heart is a muscular body organ located on the left side of a human chest. The heart has four chambers are known as the right atrium‚ right ventricle‚ left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood travels through the four chambers by the heart

Respiration. *The respiratory system consists of tubes that filter incoming air and transport it into the microscopic alveoli where gases are exchanged the entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells is called respiration and consists of the following: ventilation‚ gas exchange between blood and lungs‚ gas transport in the bloodstream‚ gas exchange between the blood and body cells‚ and cellular respiration *The organs of the respiratory tract can be divided into two

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM OF THE HEAD NECK The cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and the approximately 5 liters of blood that the blood vessels transport. Responsible for transporting oxygen‚ nutrients‚ hormones‚ and cellular waste products throughout the body‚ the cardiovascular system is powered by the body’s hardest-working organ — the heart‚ which is only about the size of a closed fist. Even at rest‚ the average heart easily pumps over 5 liters of blood throughout

Homeostasis is defined as the adjustments a body makes to maintain an environment conducive to life. All of the organ systems in the human body must maintain a steady internal environment for the body to function properly. The factors that need to be controlled are water and salt content‚ PH balance‚ oxygen‚ sugar‚ protein‚ body temperature‚ and blood and glucose concentration. The basic principle of homeostasis is when there is an abnormal internal condition‚ it will be detected and a variation

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard this over the last few years! A common statement made by aging individuals as their bodies wear internally‚ and externally through age due to the natural aging process we call “LIFE”. Musculoskeletal atrophy occurs as we age. It diminishes the density of our muscles‚ and they fade away. Our strength changes as well as the ability for our bodies to strongly support it skeleton mass. It gets hard to move about‚ we move slower and it hurts
