How can babies develop smoking-related respiratory problems?
When a pregnant mother smokes, or is around any kind of smoke. When some on is smoking around a baby causes Second hand smoke. Large forest fires really mess with everyones respiratory system.
Why are the respiratory and circulatory system necessary for life?
Without these systems, we wouldn't be able to breathe or to pump blood throughout our body. We need these systems in order to stay alive.
How abnormal tissues affect the respiratory system?
Abnormal tissue growth in the lungs will lead to lung cancer. It originates at the lining of the bronchi and starts to develop over a period of time.

What does ERV in respiratory system mean?
The ERV is the expiratory reserve volume, which is the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation.
What are the three major organs in the Respiratory system?
- Lungs - The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. In the lungs oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is breathed out.
- Trachea -The trachea is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters the air we breathe and branches into the bronchi.
- Bronchi - The bronchi are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea and carry air directly into the lungs.
Because this shape works for the body. Somewhere in the evolution time line the creature which had the first cylindrical blood vessel survived and that information has been stored in the DNA and has past it on to its offspring.
The reason I believe it works is that it is the easiest shape to dilate or constrict.
How do the cardiovascular system and respiratory system work together?
The respiration and cardio vascular work together o make the body become alive. It does this by having 2 different system working in the body. The 2 are respiration and cardio vascular system. the respiration system bring the air from outside the body through the mouth or nasal cavity. Then goes down to the Pharynx which leads up to the Epiglottis which goes passed through the larynx which goes to the trachea which goes into the lungs. In the lungs, the air goes to the bronchi which brakes down into the bronchioles
which goes into the alveoli sack where the air takes out the oxygen from the air. This is also the connected point to the cardio vascular system which it gives it the oxygen it needs to complete its job. The blood is out side the alveoli sack in a capillary. The way the gas can go through the capillary walls is because the walls of it is one cell thick which allows things to pass through. The blood flows through the capillary which widens into a venues which widens into veins which goes to the heart. The heart pumps the blood around the body. It first pumps it to the arteries which goes smaller into a arterioles which goes into a capillary. The capillary gives the oxygen to the muscle and receives it's waste products e.g. oxygen. The deoxygenated blood goes through the capillary which widens into venues which then widens into a veins which leads to the heart and gets pump into a arteries which becomes into arterioles which goes back into a capillary which give the carbon dioxide to the alveoli sack which the alveoli sends away through the bronchioles
which widens into bronchi which trachea which then goes through the larynx which then goes pass the Epiglottis which then goes through the Pharynx which goes back out through the nasal cavity or mouth.How does coughing protect the respiratory system?
It protects our Respiratory System because it helps to remove or exhale the dirt that entered in our body.
What is respiration functions?
The purpose of cell respiration is to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP. Cells then use ATP as fuel to drive the cell processes.
What will you do to protect your respiratory system from common ailments?
To protect my respiratory system i will not smoke to prevent chronic bronchitis, emphysema and even lung cancer. in this way i can protect my respiratory system. some ailments in our respiratory system are chronic bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer which is very dangerous
The respiratory system of a perch involves extracting oxygen from the water. Frogs can extract oxygen from water and air while pigeons and pigs can only breathe in air.
How the circulatory system is linked t the respiratory system?
Basically, they are linked to each other. The circulatory system gets oxygen from the lungs, while the respiratory system gets blood from the circulatory system necessary to feed its cells.
The pulmonary circulatory system is part of the cardiovascular system in which oxygen-depleted blood is pumped away from the heart, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs and returned, oxygenated, to the heart through the pulmonary vein.
Oxygen deprived blood from the superior and inferior vena cava, enters the right atrium of the heart and flows through the tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) into the right ventricle, from which it is then pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the lungs, whereby CO2 is released from the blood, and oxygen is absorbed. The pulmonary vein returns the now oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.
Inhaled air passes through which of the following last?
It goes:
trachea
Mainstem Bronchus
lobar bronchus
segmental bronchus
bronchiole
Alveolar duct
Aveolus
How can not having the respiratory system effect the other systems in the body?
The absence of the respiratory system would affect the circulatory system - blood could not be oxygenated; consequently the tissues of the body cannot be supplied with oxygen. This means that the tissues and organs cannot perform their functions and would die due to lack of oxygen. Furthermore, deoxygenated blood would accumulate; so carbon dioxide levels would increase. This decreases the pH (increases acidity) of the blood and the lungs are responsible for regulating this.

What is nhanes III pulmonary equations?
These are equations to calculate reference values for pulmonary function testing. The parameters are for instance TLC (Total lung capacity), VC (vital capacity), FRC (functionnal residual capacity) etc...
What is the respiratory rate of the normal healthy person?
Normal respiratory rate reported in a healthy adult varies from source to source: between 12 to 20 breaths per minute[1], between 10-14,[2], between 14-18[3], etc. (With such a slow rate, it is best to count the number of breaths over a full minute for accuracy.)
How does the respiratory system deliver oxygen to different parts of the body?
The blood delivers Oxygen from the respiratory system to the digestive system and the other parts of the body as it travels around the body to give the air to go around us and breathe healthily
What causes respiratory disorders?
Bacteria is the cause of upper respiratory infection. There could be contributing factors such as low immunity or lack of infection control practices, so the best way to prevent an URI is to wash hands, get plenty of sleep, and eat healthily.
