Respiratory System

* Newborns: Average 44 breaths per minute * Infants: 20-40 breaths per minute * Preschool children: 20-30 breaths per minute * Older children: 16-25 breaths per minute * Adults: 12-20 breaths per minute * Adults during strenuous exercise 35-45 breaths per minute * Athletes' peak 60-70 breaths per minute[6] source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_rate#Normal_findings * Newborns: Average 44 breaths per minute * Infants: 20-40 breaths per minute * Preschool children: 20-30 breaths per minute * Older children: 16-25 breaths per minute * Adults: 12-20 breaths per minute * Adults during strenuous exercise 35-45 breaths per minute * Athletes' peak 60-70 breaths per minute[6] source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_rate#Normal_findings

there are a bunch of tubes in our system that help us breath way better...i think lungs would be part but i dont have a specific name for it....(nice kids using the internet for your homework) lol :)

Upper Respiratory Infection

The order of oxygen flow begin in the right atrium, to the right ventricle. Into the pulmonary artery to the lungs returning via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. From the left atrium to the left ventricle to the aota then into the body.

The heart is responsible for pumping blood.

They avoid dust entering the nostrils.

Generally we say that we inhale only oxygen and exhale only CO2. But actually it is not like that.

We hale air which has every gas in it.

But the greater % we take in is O2 and greater % we leave out is Co2.Other gases are insignificant in the process of respiration.at first air enter into the lungs specifically to say in the alvioli . then through the alveolar wall O2 enters into the blood by diffusion and similarly CO2 enters into the lungs from blood . thus this system works .

In the lungs. As we breathe, air travels down the pharynx (throat), into the trachea, and into the lungs. Its journey into the lungs begins with the trachea. The trachea branches off into two limbs called your bronchi. Two, because there is one for each of your lungs. Just like a tree, the limbs get smaller. These smaller limbs are called bronchioles. Now, we covered all that because at the very tips of the bronchioles are a collection of berry-like sac structures called avleoli. This is where the magic takes place (ok, I admit, it's not that dramatic). The air ( which contains oxygen) has traveled this far and it now fills the alveoli. The large pulmonary artery leading from the heart travels toward the lungs. As it progresses closer and closer it splits into smaller and smaller vessels, until it forms capillaries. These pulmonary capillaries are covering the alveoli. This can be visualised by thinking of a net or webbing around a round sac-like structure. The pulmonary capillaries are filled with blood that's been all around the body, and is now low in oxygen and rich in carbon dioxide. Back to the alveoli. The wall is so thin it's able to allow diffusion of oxygen into the capillaries. Diffusion is the tendency of the molecules of a substance to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In this situation the alveoli are filled with oxygen rich air, and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries has very little. The oxygen diffuses into the capillaries replenishing those oxygen starved blood cells. Carbon dioxide moves the other way.

yes it is the inhaled air is 0.04 %, whereas, of the exhaled air is 4 % (100 times) more

The lungs, nose and the wind pipe are the main respiratory organs. We inhale and exhale air through our nose, which is transmitted to and from our lungs through the wind pipe. The lungs pick up oxygen from the air and flush out carbon dioxide from our body.

There are many things that can effect respiratory rates in a person who is either well or ill. Factors can include stress levels, activity level, carbon dioxide level, oxygen level, blood pH, and if drugs or alcohol have been consumed.

Until the age of one a respiration rate anywhere between 25-50 would be considered "normal"

It is due to CO2 reduction. Low CO2 stimulates chemo-receptors in brain stem. Respiratory rate is reduced in order for CO2 to come back to normal.

If the patient's lung injury does not soon begin to heal, the lack of sufficient oxygen can injure other organs, such as the kidneys. There always is a risk that bacterial pneumonia will develop at some point. Without prompt treatment.

Tidal Volume

because bloop equals plap ploob and that is the way of life.

peas are pink, lemons are blue ,the sky is green and so are you.

Respiration controls the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. If respiration slows, CO2 increases, causing a respiratory acidosis. If respiration quickens or deepens, CO2 decreases, promoting a respiratory alkalosis.

This is helpful if there is another process going on that impacts the pH of the blood. For instance, in diabetic ketoacidosis, the pH decreases in the blood due to the production of ketoacids. The respiratory system responds by increasing respiration and decreasing CO2 to help bring the pH of the blood up toward normal. The pattern of breathing patients in DKA develop is called Kussmaul breathing - deep and fast. This is a classic sign of DKA.

it will be exhaling.

The tissue lining your inner nasal passages is made from ectoderm. However, the rest of the respiratory tract lining is made of endoderm.

Exercise increases the rate of respiration as increased metabolic demand and requires faster use of oxygen.

Alveoli does not collapse because lungs always have a residual volume which prevents the alveoli to collapse.

respiratory diseases
There are many possible ailments of respiratory systems. These ailments range from something that can be treated to permanent damage.

junkfood things like bread and salty things and also smoking and chewing and sucking on tobacco

Anger is also bad for your health :)........

Also swearing has been known to cause cancer

well for girls, guys are bad for your health :D

-Your heart starts to beat faster

-You can barely breath

-you get all confused and pressured!

the endocrine system works with the respiratory system by making changes to your body for example when the parts in your respiratory system grow that is the growth hormones from your endocrine system working with your respiratory system.
