Respiratory System

so they can breath :)

In air breathing animals, the lings are the organ system that takes in air and extracts oxygen for distribution through the circulatory system.

In water breathing animals, the gills perform this function.

Those smaller animals that have neither lungs nor gills usually have a system for direct absorption of oxygen from the air, or water.

Organ Structure Larynx - made up of cartilage- contains the vocal cords; two highly elastic folds Trachea - a hollow tube surrounded by tough, flexible C-shaped cartilage rings- lined with cilia - lined with mucus secreting cells Lung - composed of the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli

Expectant if exposure is to a pulmonary agent and less than 4 hrs. If more than 4 hrs to a vesicant (which is the question here), then delayed. Google CBRNE - Evaluation of a Chemical Warfare Victim

Stethoscope is one!

the respiratory system since that is where your lungs are located

Pulmonary surfactant is a surface active material composed of lipids and proteins which is found in the fluid lining the alveoli.
Surfactant prevents alveolar collapse. In addition, it is involved in the protection of the lungs from injuries and infections caused by inhaled particles and micro-organisms.

The Bohr effect and cooperative binding of oxygen to hemoglobin is what makes it an effective carrier of oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues. What is cooperative binding? The first oxygen bind less strongly to oxygen then does the subsequent oxygen molecules (hemoglobin has four binding zones for oxygen). This means that the binding curve is fairly steep. The Bohr effect is a negative effect on binding of oxygen by hemoglobin in the presence of increased pH. Since peripheral tissues release C02 it increases the local pH releasing the oxygen. After the first oxygen is released the remaining oxygen molecules are quickly disassociated from hemoglobin thus delivering the oxygen to the tissue in need of oxygen.

A flowchart is basically a diagram outlining important steps in a specific process. A flowchart of the human digestive system is a useful tool for gaining information quickly on the important functions of the digestive system and the parts involved.

mucus secretion is important because your body needs to keep your mouth, nasal cavity (the inside of your nose)and lungs moist and to keep the mucus membranes protected. it also is found in the stomach and intestines.

NO. Windpipe is the Larynx and pharynx, and the esophagus is the tube to the stomach. The airway is closed off by a flap of skin, as you swallow, to prevent food or drink from getting into the "windpipe". If you have ever been strangled on something you swallowed, you know what happens when the latter is a little slow to cover the opening.

The major cells affected by influenza viruses, including swine flu H1N1/09, are those in the respiratory system mucous tissues.

• An air separation plant separates atmospheric air into its primary components, typically nitrogen and oxygen, and sometimes also argon and other rare inert gases.
• The most common method for air separation is cryogenic distillation. Cryogenic air separation units (ASUs) are built to provide nitrogen or oxygen and often co-produce argon.
• Other methods such as Membrane, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA), are commercially used to separate a single component from ordinary air.

gasping

A. It picks up electrons and hydrogen ions from the electron transport chain to form water

B. It aids in the breakdown of glucose

C. It participates in the chemiosmotic gradient in the electron transport chain

D. It is part of coenzyme A

it is bronchioles

The larynx or voice box provides a passage. but the alveoli help

The lungs use oxygen and carbon dioxide through cellular respiration.

A single diode acts as a half wave rectifier. That is half of the wave is cut off as the current reverses. You will see just the top half of the sine wave on a diagram.

Adding a second diode in series in theory will cut off the bottom half of the wave so giving a flat line - but in fact the two diodes have actually cut off all the current so nothing flows. Two ddiodes in paralle' won't work either as current will flow in either depending on the sirection of flow.

To get true full wave rectification a diode bridge consisting of 4 diodes should be used.

Your diaphragm lowers and your ribs expand outwards

No trachea is the medical name for the windpipe which leads down to the bronchi eventually to the blood through the lungs.

A jellyfish does not have any circulatory vessels. They use diffusion as their means of circulation. They do not have a closed circulatory system.

The parts of Upper Respiratory are:

nasal cavity (either of the two cavities lying between the floor of the cranium and the roof of the mouth and extending from the face to the pharynx)

larynx (a cartilaginous structure at the top of the trachea; contains elastic vocal cords that are the source of the vocal tone in speech)

trachea (membranous tube with cartilaginous rings that conveys inhaled air from the larynx to the bronchi)

pharynx (the passage to the stomach and lungs; in the front part of the neck below the chin and above the collarbone)

olfactory organ (the organ of smell and entrance to the respiratory tract; the prominent part of the face of man or other mammals)
