Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
The absence of breathing is respiratory arrest or apnea.
apnea is the absence of spontaneous respiration.
The lack of originality in ideas, repetitive language, and absence of depth in character development were aspects not inspired in the writing.
trachea is soft tube. If air is not passing, it might break down or collapse.but the incomplete cartilaginous rings prevent it.think the trachea as a balloon.when air is passing the sides are not touching.when the air is taken out it crumbles down. EASY!!
An absolute vacuum is purely theoretical, and is an utter absence of matter. An implosion is essentially a violent inward collapse.
If the trachea didn't have rings of cartilage, it would lack structural support and become prone to collapse, especially during breathing when negative pressure is generated. This could obstruct airflow to the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties and potential respiratory failure. Additionally, without the rigidity provided by the cartilage, the trachea would be more susceptible to injury and damage from external forces or pressure. Overall, the absence of cartilage rings would severely compromise the trachea's functionality and respiratory health.
An absence of oxygen is the primary gas that stops breathing. Excessive levels of carbon dioxide can also hinder the body's ability to breathe properly by disrupting the body's acid-base balance. Other gases, like certain toxins or pollutants, can also interfere with the respiratory system and impede breathing.
To determine if a possum is dead, you can check for signs such as lack of breathing, no response to touch or noise, stiff body, and absence of blinking or movement in the eyes.
The term used to desribe difficult or labored breathing is dyspnea. Asthma is one cause of dyspnea; pneumonia is another. When a person has trouble breathing and it seems that they are working hard just to inhale, you can describe it as "labored."Sometime people will actually sweat heavily due to the amount of effort they need to inhale--usually exhalation is a passive process and doesn't require muscle to work, just relax.
Without a nose, a person would have difficulty breathing and lose their sense of smell. The absence of a nose can also impact the facial structure and aesthetics, potentially leading to social and psychological challenges. Functional surgeries and prosthetics can help in maintaining normal breathing and appearance in such cases.
In the absence of surfactants, the surface tension of the liquid would be higher. This can lead to poor wetting and spreading of the liquid on a surface, impacting processes like cleaning, emulsification, and foaming. Surfactants help lower the surface tension, allowing them to perform these functions effectively.
Apnea is the absence of breathing, but only for less than a few moments. If a patient has stopped breathing and does not restart breathing it is called respiratory arrest. Lack of spontaneous respiration is central apnea. Absence of spontaneous respiration means that the person's brainstem is not triggering them to take breaths. The medulla contains the respiratory center, and the respiratory center makes sure that the body is not ever breathing below 8 respirations per minute. A person with apnea is described as apneic.
