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.

What can happen if you inhale fumes from engine block cleaner?
Chemical fumes are lung irritants. If the person moves to clean air quickly, the risk is minimal unless the person has an acute or chronic lung illness. If the person experiences shortness of breath, they should be checked by a physician.
What is the function of the nasopharynx?
It's the part of the pharynx (area at the back of the throat) which connects with the nasal passages.
Its specific function is simply to allow air passage effectively through it, in either direction. It mechanically filters, moisturizes, and warms inhaled air.
What will happen if your body don't have the Respiratory Systems?
The blood would not get oxygen, therefore your body woudnt have oxygen and then neither would our cells then energy wouldn't be made and we'd die
What is the sticky layer of germs on teeth called?
A sticky layer over the teeth called dental plaque. It growth cause is the formation of germs(bacteria) in our mouth on teeth every day and use sugars from foods and drinks we take. It attacks the tooth's outer layers (enamel and dentine) and eats them away.
Well without breathing, we wouldn't be alive. We need oxygen for our cells to carry out cellular respiration, and we need to get rid of the carbon dioxide it produces. Some organisms can get on living without "breathing", but as organism with lungs, breathing is vital.
Why can you smell the air that you breathe in and not the air that you breathe out?
because you have a life threatening disease that if you do not fix you will die soon....
Are the air sacs a part of the circulatory or respiratory system?
Air sacs are part of the respiratory system
Which are the biggest sinuses?
The frontal sinuses housed in the frontal bone are the largest sinuses.
The maxillary sinuses are the second largest.
What does heroin do to your respiratory system?
It can slow it down and make your breathing more shallow.
What determines how a system will work to meet the business needs defined during system investigation
The average breathing for an adult is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. The act of breathing consists of two phases, inspiration and expiration.
Early signs of respiratory distress include:
- increased respiratory rate
- flaring of the nostrils
- use of accessory muscles of respiration
The answer to this is in your textbook
The term meaning the act of drawing a foreign substance into the upper respiratory tract?
aspiration
or aspiriate
Answer
The tube would become mechanical deadspace. We are always rebreathing some exhaled C02 because of our physiological dead space (ie trachea, upper airway). The longer the tube the more C02 is inhaled. If the child were to constantly breath through the tube without interruption it would take a great deal of time to build PaC02 to any kind of dangerous level. Even if high C02 levels were to build, the initial mental effects would cause the child to give up on the tube and easily ventilate himself back to normal levels (highly unlikely). The tube also adds a small increase in airway resistance which is not likey of any concern. The reality is most children don't have the attention span and determination to breath through a gift wrap tube constantly for that long. Important thing here is to watch your child for any abnormal symptoms as usuall and if the tube is making you that worried offer an alternative game.
Cheers! how does smoking.exercising,anxiety,drygs,environmantal factors,attitude and weight affect your breathing?
The trachea, a tube-like portion of the respiratory (breathing) tract that connects the larynx (the voice box) with the lungs. The trachea is the medical term for wind pipe.
What is the world record for the longest breath?
The unofficial record for holding a single breath is 17 Minutes, 4.4 Seconds, set by David Blaine (born April 4, 1973) on April 30th, 2008 on the Oprah Winfrey Show in Chicago. Because he is a magician, and used the same materials as in a popular illusion, there is every cause to suspect the validity of this record. The secret trick was subsequently divulged in an episode of the TV series, "Magic Secrets Revealed".
Need help with 1983 Honda nighthawk 550 charging system?
I also have an 83 nighthawk 650. I had a problem with my charging system also. It would help if you told us what it was doing? I changed out my rectifier and also my stater and my system is charging properly. Without knowing what is going on with your bike I can not tell you where to start.
What happens to oxygen when you breath it in?
When you breathe in oxygen you expel carbon dioxide, your bodies waste product. Your heart pumps blood from the right ventricle into the lungs where the CO2 (carbon dioxide) "jumps off" and the O2 (oxygen) "jumps on" the red blood cells. With the O2 being carried on little "handles" of the hemoglobin molecule of the red blood cells, it travels back into the heart from the lungs and is then pumped out into the body from the heart's left ventricle, through the aorta and into the body. The O2 is carried by the blood to every area and organ of the body, where it "nourishes" the cells. As the blood travels further from the heart and more waste builds, the CO2 content is higher than the O2 content and the CO2 waste is carried back to the heart by the blood, dumping its waste into the lungs and is then expelled in your breath. This gas exchange is made possible because of changes in pressure gradients.
How does the respiratory and skeletal system work together?
There are many ways the skeletal systems help but the most vital is support. With out the skeletal bones around our organs then we would collapse from the inside,for example the pharynx, nostrils and mouth with out the bone structure the air would not be able to escape and go in to these air ways resulting in death.
Second is protection the lungs consist of soft tissues. If punctured, they could easily collapse. But the skeletal system contains ribs that protect the lungs from blows or most types of impact.
Thirdly it assists in breathing the skeletal system makes it possible for the respiratory system to breathe. Assisted by a muscle called the diaphragm, the rib cage expands, so that air can enter the lungs, and then returns to its former size, forcing air out of the lungs.
Lastly is supplying Oxygen to the body. The bone tissue in your body possesses living cells called osteocytes. The marrow of long bones also contains living cells. These cells need oxygen to live. The respiratory system transfers oxygen from the air into the blood stream. The blood then carries oxygen to the bone cells.
I hop this information helps
