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.

Aerobic:
1. occurs in presence of oxygen.
2. CO2 and water is produced
3. lot of energy is liberated (38 ATP)
4.occurs in plants' and animals' cells
5. C6H12O6 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP ( Energy)
Anaerobic:
1. occurs in absence of oxygen
2. Lactic Acid or Alchol is produced
3. relatively small energy is liberated (2ATP)
4. occurs in many anaerobic bacteria and human muscle cells.
5. in muscles, lactic acid is produced while bacteria as Yeast produces Alcohol (Ethanol)
6. C6H12O6 --> Lactic acid / C2H5OH + ATP
Primary respiratory drive is based on?
Primiary respiratory drive in a healthy person is based on carbon dioxide levels. In a healthy person each time the carbon dioxide level gets high the brain stem send nerve impulses down the spinal cord that cause the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles to contract.
How do you get a rapid shallow breathing index?
You take the patients Respiratory Rate and divide it by the tidal volume averaged over 1 minute.
How does the respiratory system regulates breathing for runners?
The respiratory system encompasses breathing.
Which is the best description of alveoli?
b) An alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity.[1] Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the dead ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs oralveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.[2] Alveoli are particular to mammalian lungs. Different structures are involved in gas exchange in other vertebrates.[3] The alveolar membrane is the gas-exchange surface. The blood brings carbon dioxide from the rest of the body for release into the alveoli, and the oxygen in the alveoli is taken up by the blood in the alveolar blood vessels, to be transported to all the cells in the body.
What happens if you inhale heptane?
If you are looking for a little tiny high, do not do this. Someone I know did this and ran outside saw a animal of some sort and ran back in yelling at me.
How do you connet to other system using port?
You can connect computers through various type of ports (e.g. through Ethernet (wired or wireless) , USB or Serial port. What port you pick, will depend on your application needs and at what speed you want the connection to work.
If two computers have 10/100Base-T Ethernet port these can be directly connected using a crossed Ethernet cable without need of a switch or hub. - Neeraj Sharma
What Colorlessoderlesstasteless gas that we breath in?
The colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that we breathe in is oxygen (O₂). It is essential for the survival of most living organisms, as it plays a crucial role in cellular respiration. Oxygen is produced by plants during photosynthesis and is vital for energy production in our bodies.
Why do people in respiratory arrest often show cyanosis?
Cyanosis is a blue coloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to the presence of deoxygenated hemoglobin in blood vessels near the skin surface. It occurs when the oxygen saturation of arterial blood falls below 85-90% (1.5g/dl deoxyhemoglobin). Although human blood is always a shade of red (except in rare cases of hemoglobin-related disease), the optical properties of skin distort the dark red color of deoxygenated blood to make it appear bluish.
What causes high respiration rates?
High respiration rates, or tachypnea, can be caused by various factors, including physical exertion, anxiety, fever, and respiratory conditions such as asthma or pneumonia. Increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood also stimulate faster breathing to enhance oxygen intake and expel carbon dioxide. Additionally, conditions affecting the cardiovascular system, such as heart failure, can lead to elevated respiration rates as the body attempts to meet its oxygen demands.
tissue respiration is a chemical process where feaces are release in order for space to be made in the stomach
What is the first respiratory structure without cartilage as a supporting tissue?
The first one is the Primary Bronchi
If a smoker is trying to expel mucus in the respiratory passages, that is done by coughing. Smokers often cough.
Yes you could breath in neptunes because theres water and one people lived there his name was king Neptunes and what he ate is unknowen....Check out king Neptune on Google seach im not lieing and if you have qustions find me in facebook my email is rocky.Mohammad@yahoo.com.= )
Is it possible to die from a swollen throat?
It is possible but not likely to die from a swollen throat.
