Respiratory System

Well, actually there are many factors, but the major factor would probably be pollution.

-A

The human excretory system consists of the lungs, skin, kidneys, and liver. Smoking can cause kidney stones, high blood pressure, lung cancer, and yellowing of the skin.

1. a moist surface

2. concentrated gradient

3. semi permeable membrane

Mostly, it is due to the glottis. Your diaphragm contracts first causing an intake of air. The "glottis" (the vocal part of your larynx) closes and stops the air coming in. When that air hits the glottis, which is closed, it causes the sound that you are referring to as a hiccup.

If someones lungs are damaged, their Respiratory systemwill stop working.they would die :)

Neural impulses cause diaphragm and chest cage to move down wards and outwards respectively so that air can move into lungs

Cough reflex is mediated by nerve impulses/reflexes

this is easy the food tube receives the food and the nutrients our body needs, while the air tube is used for inhaling and exhaling. Air is needed for the body to execute loco motions or movements

Nasal hair or nose hair

Most people can only hold their breath for about a one minute or less because it reflects the lung capacity people are accustomed to using. By practicing holding their breath and controlling their breathing, healthy people should be able to hold their breath for two minutes or more.

Respiratory therapists assist patients with breathing problems and cardiopulmonary disorders. They work with health care professionals to develop treatment plans and assess options for the patient. Respiratory therapists are responsible for implementing and following the treatment plan. Respiratory therapists work under the supervision of a doctor and may supervise respiratory therapy technicians.

Patients of all ages with a variety of health issues may require the services of a respiratory therapist to help ease their breathing or aid in ventilation. Respiratory therapists treat premature newborns, performing diagnostic tests and assisting with ventilation when needed. They see heart attack patients and patients with breathing disorders such as emphysema, asthma, or bronchitis. Respiratory therapists may deal with patients in critical situations on life support or in the intensive care unit.

Respiratory therapists use a variety of treatments to assist their patients. For people with asthma, an aerosol medicine is often prescribed. Other patients may require an oxygen mask or chest physiotherapy. Respiratory therapists in some areas are permitted to take electrocardiograms, perform stress tests, and draw blood for testing.

Respiratory therapists work with patients dealing with difficult health issues and must be sensitive to their concerns and needs. They work well as part of a team of health professionals, but can also make important decisions independently. Respiratory therapists are detail-oriented and understand the importance of keeping good records.

Because of counter-current exchange, fish gills are the most efficient at gas exchange. This is followed by the continuous flow of bird lungs (due to their system of air-sacs). I don't know which animal exactly, but look to the fish for your answer.

The ease with which the lungs and thorax can expand is called "COMPLIANCE".

I have seen the air- you have to look very closely/deeply and look where there is a blank backround so there are no distractions- you can also try looking at the blue sky- no clouds- you can see particles moving and bouncing off each other.

The muscles and bones work together to produce movement but without oxygen and a good heart rate movement would not be possible either.

Stoppage of breathing may caused by obstruction in the throat. Don't waste time and do the following:

1. Remove the belt and loose all the clothing of the patient. This will help in the quick recovery of breathing.

2. Tilt the patient's head and remove all obstructions in the air passage.

3. Apply artificial respiration.

I think your thinking of applesauce. Sputum is actually found in llama spit.

Cilia are the tiny hairs that sweep dust and dirt out of the respiratory system.

Because we are at rest and our body does need so much energy to do.

the nervous system sends little signals to the butt and the butt sends arrows to the respitory so you can breath fire. the fire turns on the cardivascular system

Respiration is the process that transfers oxygen + glucose -> carbon dioxide + water + energy. It takes place in the mitochondria in your cells.

To be able to walk you need energy. This energy, as you can see from the equation above is only created if your cells are respiring (converting the food you eat and the oxygen in the air you breath into the waste carbon dioxide you expel when you breath out with a little water vapour and the all important energy)

Therefore when you are walking, you are moving more, and so require more energy and so your body increases the rate of respiration so you can create enough energy to keep you walking and doing all the other bodily functions you do without realising.

Inspiration causes a drop in thoracic pressure, so the blood pressure in the area may drop, so the feeling of the pulse may feel weaker (though this would have to be an extreme case). It also can cause splitting of the second heart sound as the lungs take in more blood.

They look like bunch of grapes, only on a microscopic level.

You will die. Your respiratory system helps you breathe. If you do not have oxygen for about over a few minutes most people will die. Hope I could help. I am doing a whole big project on the respiratory system

The larynx is commonly known as the "voicebox."
The medical term for the voice box is the larynx.
The larynx is the voice box. This is why you get hoarse when you have laryngitis, which is inflammation of the larynx.
