Respiratory System

The respiratory system includes the lungs and the airway. The questions in this category focus mainly on the anatomical and physiological processes associated with breathing.

2,890 Questions

Why does the respiratory system exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?

It is the basis for how our metabolism works. Our bodies get energy by reacting the oxygen we breathe in with sugar and fat from food. Sugar and fat are compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and will react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Why does the respiratory and circulatory work so closely together?

When you breathe in air it goes in your lungs and the oxygen diffuses into the blood stream via the capillaries. Then the oxygen is carried throughout your body as needed.

How is respiratory failure treated?

The best thing you can do if somebody cannot breathe is call for an advanced paramedic (if you know you have one in your town) or an ambulance. It is essential to act (callfor help)quickly when you know that someone cannot breathe (unless they have asthma that can be helped with an inhaler).

These points are things that you can do while you wait for help. These are very important:

1. Call for ambulance.

2. Sit 'patient' down and make sure he/she is comfortable.

3. If he has an inhaler, help if necessary.

4. Open top buttons on his/her shirt (this will make breathing easier).

NB. Do NOT allow him to eat or drink.

Do NOT move him (this will only put his lungsunder more pressure).

I hope this helped:)

What are the parts of the respiratory system describe each part?

Respiratory System is the only life support system under voluntary and automatic control. The respiratory system functions to obtain the oxygen necessary to create energy for body functions and to eliminate the carbon dioxide produced during cellular metabolism. It it also connected to Emotion.

Respiratory System Organs:

Nose and nasal cavity

Sinuses

Pharynx

Larynx

Trachea

Lungs

Diaphragm

Thorax

Nose and Nasal Cavities

-Nostrils (external nares): separates the nasal cavities from the oral cavity

-Nasal Cavities: divided into two passages by the nasal septum, which is made up of hyaline cartilage

-Hard palate: hard portion of the roof of the mouth, separates the nasal cavities from the oral cavity. It's made up of the maxillary and palatine bones

-Soft palate: separates the pharynx into the nasopharynx and oropharynx

-Vestibule: first portion of the nasal cavity, Covered with tiny hairs that filter the air that goes into the system

-Conchae: Shelf-like progections from the lateral wall of the nose

-Meatus: Between the conchae. helps churn the air which enables the large particles to stik to the mucus lining

-Nasolacrimal duct: the tear duct that opens into the nose from the conjuctiva of the eye

-Nasal epithelium: Mucous; cleans the air that enters the nasal cavity & brings it to body temp. and humidity

-Lamina propria: connective tissue lining the epithelium

Sinus Cavities: Four groups of air-filled spaces that open into the internal nose.

Sphenoid sinus - posteriorly and superiorly, closely related to the pituitary gland

Maxillary sinus - in the maxillary bones

Ethmoid sinus - superior and posterior part of the nasal cavity

Frontal sinus - deep in the medial part of the eyebrows

Pharynx (Throat) - Passageway for both air and food

Larynx (Voice box) - Connects the pharynx with the trachea

Trachea (windpipe) - Main airway to the lungs

Lungs - Primary organs of respiration (Right Lungs;3 lobes & Left Lung; 2 lobes)

Diaphragm- Dome shaped sheet of muscle attached to thoracic wall that separates lungs and thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.

Thorax (Chest Cavity) - upper region of the torso

KEY TERMS

Peristalisis: rhythmic contraction of smooth muscles that propels products of

digestion along the tract from the esophagus to the anus

Respiration: Movement of air in and out of lungs.

What happens when you take a breath?

You will trigger a panic attack. (I have them all the time). To prevent them, breath into a bag, the carbon is to limit the intake of oxygen. Too much oxygen can be a bad thing, strange but true. But I don't think it effects dogs, if it's repetative you might want to take him/her to the vet.

Which public services require you to have a healthy respiratory system the most?

paramedic because they control your health and look after you if you have a problem.

What causes oxygen level in blood to drop when walking?

There are a few different causes of AMH levels to drop, but the most common one is age. As women get older, their AMH levels naturally decrease. This is because the production of eggs decreases as women get older, and this is why you may notice a decrease in your fertility as you get older. Other factors that can contribute to a decrease in AMH levels include stress, weight loss, and menopause. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's important to get yourself tested for your AMH levels and see if there's anything that can be done to improve them.

How much does an Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) test cost?

The amh test cost in Delhi from Redcliffe Labs is INR 1499.00, which is the most affordable pricing that you can get for the check up in Delhi and pan India.

Do humans breathe oxygen and exhale carbon monoxide?

Humans breathe out CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and plants breathe this in and produce 02 (Oxygen) which we in turn breathe back in again.

What does the larynx contain?

yes the larynx contain 2 types of vocal cords 1st: true vocal cords ( for ur question ) 2nd: False valse vocal cords

How does the respiratory system affect other systems in the human body?

The repiratory system brings in oxygen into your body and your body needs oxygen because the oxygen goes into the blood and the blood goes around through you body giving it oxygen which is energy.then the respirtatory system makes you breathe the carbon dioxide out respiratory system is directly related with the cardiovascular and metabolic system

Does aerobic respiration release energy?

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 (oxygen) → 6 CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6 H2O (water) + heat is the formula for aerobic respiration, so yes, in the form of heat

Yes,it realease energy.Only 40% of glucose is stored in ATP.Other amount is released as Heat

What organs do the respiratory system depend on?

The circulatory system for one needs oxygenated blood to be transported from the lungs to the heart, and it needs the body to get rid of carbon dioxide from the blood through the lungs. :)

What consists of the respiratory conducting zone?

nostril,nasal cavity,epiglottis,trachea,bronchi,lungs,bronchioles,alveoli is

the answer
after the nasal cavity and trache air moves into the brinchi, into the bronchioles and intp the alveiolie where gases are exchanged (co2) carbon dioxide and (o2) oxygen

How does carcinogens affect the respiratory system?

Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water can cause cancer in the skin, lungs, bladder and kidney. It can also cause other skin changes such as thickening and pigmentation. The likelihood of effects is related to the level of exposure to arsenic and in areas where drinking water is heavily contaminated, these effects can be seen in many individuals in the population. Increased risks of lung and bladder cancer and skin changes have been reported in people ingesting arsenic in drinking water atconcentrations of 50 µg/litre, or even lower.

Exposure to arsenic in the workplace by inhalation can cause lung cancer. The likelihood of cancer is related to the level and duration of exposure. Increased risks of lung cancer have been observed at exposure levels that add up to more than 750 (µg/m3).year. This figure is obtained by multiplying the average concentration in the workplace by the number of years of exposure (for example, 15 years of exposure to a workroom air concentration of 50 µg/m3 correspond to 750 (µg/m3).year). Smoking and arsenic exposure combined increase the risk of lung cancer.

As regards the possible method by which arsenic causes cancer, the evidence in humans indicates that arsenic can cause damage to whole chromosomes (clastogenic effects) but does not appear to cause damage to individual genes.

How does the material move from the respiratory system to the circular system?

Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.

What are all the organs and structures associated with the respiratory system?

i can tell you that the respiratory system has to do with breathing, like the nose, trachea, and lungs

How do the respiration and circulatory systems maintain correct body function during exercise?

well it is all connected so co2 gets around your body as you do exercise because your breathing much faster. lol

What is the maximum lung capacity of a human?

The man with the largest lung capacity is a 6'5" rower who now rows for team GB and won a silver medal in the Olympics recently I can not remember his name though.

His name is peter reed, he won gold in the Olympics in the coxless four, Australia came second.

What changes happen to respiratory system during exercise?

the circulatory system, the heart rate increases and blood flow increases to the exercising muscles, and lessens to the other parts of the body. Your respiratory system doesn't change except for the amount of air flow. (Addition): When your heart rate increases from anything in general, you tend to breathe heavier and faster depending on the amount of pressure your heart is being put into.
