Kevin Santana Period 5 Respiratory System - Coggle Diagram
Kevin Santana Period 5 Respiratory System
Major Functions
supply body with O2 for cellular respiration & dispose of CO2 a waster product of cellular respiration
lesser functions: olfaction & speech
Internal vs. External Respiration
Respiratory Volumes and Capacities
Compare and Contrast the Mechanism of Inspiration and Expiration
Lower Respiratory Structures and Functions
Trachea
: air passageway; cleans, warms, & moistens incoming air
Bronchial Tree
: air passageways connecting trachea with alveoli; cleans, warms, & moisten incoming air
Alveoli
: Main sites of gas exchange
Lungs
: Mouse Respiratory passages smaller than the main bronchi
Pluerae
: Produce lubricating fluid & compartmentalize lungs
Upper Respiratory Structures and Functions
Nose(external and cavity)
: produces mucus; filters, warms & moistens incoming air; resonance chamber of speech
Paranasal Sinuses
: lighten skull; may also warm, moisten, & filter air
Pharynx
: passageway for air & food. facilitates exposure of immune system to inhaled antigens
Larynx
: air passageway; prevents food from entering lower respiratory tract. voice production
Disorders
COPD
Symptoms
: chronic cough; shortness of breath; wheezing
Treatment Options
: smoking cessation; medications; antibiotics
Causes
: Asthmatic bronchitis; tobacco smoke; dust exposure
Tuberculosis
Symptoms
: latebt TB- asymptomatic; tachycardium; chest pain
Treatment Options
: long-tem antibiotics; surgery; medication
Causes
: contagious, inhaled; weakened immune system; drug & alcohol abuse
Pneumonia
Symptoms
: fever; shortness of breath; chills
Treatment Options
: over the counter medication; antibiotics; oxygen therapy
Causes
: bacterial infection; viral infection; aspiration
Lung Cancer
Symptoms
: chest pain; shortness of breath; fatigue
Treatment Options
: radiation; chemotherapy; surgical removal
Causes
: smoking (90% of cases); second-hand smoke; genetics
Seasonal Flu
Symptoms
: dry cough; fatigue; congestion
Treatment Options
: early vaccination; over-the-counter medication; rest & hydration
Causes
: inhaled in respiratory droplets; age; occupation
Volume and Pressure Relationships in Thoracic Cavity
Layers of the Pleurae
Parietal Pleura
: Membrane on thoracic wall, superior face of diaphragm, around heart, & between lungs
Visceral Pleura
: membrane on external lung surface, provides lubrication & surface tension that assists in expansion & recoil of lungs
