Respiratory System
Disorders
Asthma
-
-
it is an allergic reaction what happens is that the air and things (dust) that you breathe is going to cause inflammation of the bronchioles
response to irritants with dyspnea, coughing, and wheezing
-
Birth Defects
-
-
causes baby to over secrete mucus that is clog up airways and pull in alveoli. If alveoli is filled with mucus they can't do gas exchange. Kid will have difficulty breathing and lead to death
Aging Effects
-
-
-
-
In expiration process you cannot get out the lungs will not stretch back to its normal size and push air out which means amount of air the vital capacity the total amount of air that you could excel and inhale is going to be compromised.
You have air remaining in lungs, its going to increase the residual volume which means that's a place for infections to occur that can lead to chronic bronchitis or pneumonia

Emphysema
-
-
-
only disorder that has a problem exhaling, the majority of the other lung disorders the problem is getting air into the lungs (inspiration).
emphysema affects alveoli and what happens is that a healthy alveoli are pockets of circles individual alveolar sacs but what happens with emphysema is those sacs are broken up and becomes one large structure
Symptom/diagnosis: If doctor listens to lung it almost sounds like when water is added to rice crispies, a crackling sound. Thats because the alveoli are basically cracking
due to the damage to the alveoli you build up fibrosis which are the scar tissue and is going to make the lung lose its elasticity.
exhalation is that the lung is elastic so when it stretches out it goes back to its normal size, in emphysema it can't do that
Chronic Bronchitis
-
-
caused by prolonged infection if you have a cold/flu, some kind of upper respiratory infection that does not go away can eventually lead to chronic bronchitis

Breathing Mechanism
Pulmonary Ventilation
-
before inspiration, pressure in lungs PL= pressure of atmosphere PA= 760 mm Hg
-
only pressure we can control is the pressure within lungs. When pressure is lower in lungs than ATP then air is flowing in. When pressure in lungs is higher than 760 mm Hg then it flows out
