The respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. The lungs are the main organs in the respiratory system. According to the American Lung Association, red blood cells collect the oxygen from the lungs and carry it throughout the body where it is needed. As the red blood cells travel through the body, they collect the carbon dioxide, taking it back to the lungs where it is then exhaled.…
A case study of asthma in a 10 year old European child. This case study will cover the normal structure and function of the respiratory system. This case study will also discuss the changes that occur when asthma is triggered, and the routine diagnostic tests/vital signs for asthma. The normal range of the routine tests/vital signs for asthma and three nursing interventions that are required to meet the clients needs in relation to asthma will be explained further.…

The myoglobin assists with the transportation of oxygen at aerobic intervals to assist the skeletal and cardiac muscles. Myoglobin is also very effective in assisting the body during the partial pressure points of oxygen at lower intervals. 9. Explain the phases of ventilation during submaximal exercise. There are 3 phases in the ventilation during submaximal exercise.…
The 50 percent oxygen found in Entonox allows there to be an oxygen tension increase in the blood (Mair Vater,…
In the brain, there are respiratory centers that are the central control of ventilation. They are located within the brainstem and their job is to adjust ventilation when they receive signals of changes in the chemical composition. Changes in the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide or oxygen and changes in blood pH have a major effect on ventilation. For example, when the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and blood pH are altered, it sends a message to the respiratory control center in order for it to adjust the concentrations. At rest, the receptors that maintain ventilation are the central and peripheral chemoreceptors.…
The metabolic rate is the rate at which metabolism occurs in a living organism. Whereas Body mass is the body size of a living organism. This lab indicated the smaller the living organism is, the higher the metabolic rate. This is due to the smaller animal displacing heat at a higher rate than a larger animal.…
Consists of skin, hair, nails, and sweat gland. The respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air and regulates blood Ph. Consists of the lung and respiratory passages.…

Introduction: The African lungfishes are eel or salamander-like freshwater fishes belonging to the genus Protopterus that constitutes of four species that are all found in Africa. The genus Protopterus is the only genus affiliated to the family Protopteridae. The lifespan of lungfishes is about 20 years and more especially under favorable conditions. African lungfish are characterized by their outstanding adaptations that enabled them estivate during dry season. The species is also known by their aggressiveness as they can bite when agitated and hence it is advised to club the fish once caught whether to quieten them or bring them to death.…
3. Describe the mechanisms of external respiration including the interchange of gases within the lungs. The job of the lungs is to transfer oxygen to the blood and to remove waste carbon dioxide from it. To do this the lungs contain millions of alveoli where gas exchange takes place.…
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is an isolated disease that progresses over time. There is no known direct cause for the disease. IPF affects the lungs and the body getting much needed oxygen. Some symptoms that may develop over time such as shallow breathing, fatigue, and clubbing. There are very few treatments for the disease.…
The respiratory system brings in the necessary oxygen and releases carbon dioxide waste, blood must be continuously oxygenated. With all body systems functioning correctly this allows for the body to be…
