Inhalation, air moves in the nose and diaphragm moves down and stomach moves out

Exhalation, air moves out the nose/mouth and diaphragm moves up and stomach moves in.

Upper Respiratory Tract?

Nasal Cavities, Pharynx, Glottis, and Larynx

Lower Respiratory Tract?

Trachea, Bronchi, Bonchioles, and Lungs (Alveoli)

In a normal breath of air 500ml

Forced inhalation and exhalation of air= 4600ml. This is measured using a spirometer and can indicate certain breathing disorders.

A respiratory pigment located in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Upper Respiratory Infections (URI)?

Can eitehr be viral or bacterial. Anti-biotic therapy is effective for bacterial infections and not for viral infections.

Bacterial infection caused by the streptococcus pyogenes bacteria characterized by the symptoms of severe sore throat covered by white patches on a dark red throat and high fever.

Infection of the cranial sinuses, cavities within the facial skeleton that drain into the nasal cavities. Develops as nasal congestion blocking the openings, can have facial pain as well.

Bacterial infection of the middle ear, usually as a results of complication of children with nasal infection. Auditory tubes lead from the nasopharynx to the middle ear.

Inflammation and enlargement of the tonsils, Usually the symptoms are treated of sore throat and congestion.

Infection of the larynx with accompanying hoarseness leading to lose of audible voice.

Infection of teh primary and secondary bronchi. Usualoly preceded by untreated URI.

Infection of the lungs in which the bronchi and alveoli fill with thick fluid usually preceded by influenza. High fever, chills and chest pain usually a localized infection of lungs.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis?

Tubercles encapsulate the bacteria in the alveoli and cause decreased gas exchange.

Restrictive Pulmonary Disorder?

Inhalation of fine dust particules which lead to Pulmonary Fibrosis in which fibrous connective tissue builds up in the lungs.

Airways inflamed and filled with mucous, productive cough. Lose of cilia along tract, usually caused from smoking.

Chromic and incurable disorder where the alveoli are destroyed. Oxygen and drug theapy are treatments of choice.

Disease of Bronchi and Bronchioles marked by wheezing, breathlessness, and sometimes a cough.

Caused usually by cigarette smoking and metasizes quickly.

Removal of a lobe to attempt to remove cancer.
