The organs of the respiratory system are:
• nose
• pharynx
• larynx
• trachea
• two bronchi (one bronchus to each lung)
• bronchioles and smaller air passages
• two lungs and their coverings, the pleura
Muscles of Respiration
Diaphragm & intercostals muscles
LUNGS
Lungs are pair of respiratory organ situated in the
thoracic cavity .The right and left lung are separated
by mediasternum. There are two lungs in human being
and they are:
1. Right lung
2.Left lung
1. Right lung ; it has 2 fissure and 3 lobes.it is larger and
heavier than left lung it’s weight is 700gram.it is shorter
and broader.
2.Left lung ; it has only 1fissure and 2 lobes.it is smaller
and lighter than right lung it’s weight is 600gram.it is
longer and narrower.
STRUCTURE OF LUNGS
• Each lungs is divided and described into five
parts:
1. Apex :The apex is rounded and rises into the root
of the neck.
2. Base : The base is concave and semi lunar in
shape and closely associated with thoracic
surface of the diaphragm.
3. Costal surface : the costal surface is convex and
is closely associated with the costal cartilage,
ribs and the intercostals muscles.
• Medial surface ; the medial surface is concave
and roughly tringular shaped area.
• Hilus ; it is situated on the medial surface ,it
lies at the level of 5th,6th,and 7th thoracic
vertebrae
BRONCHI AND BRONCHIEOLES
• The trachea divides into a right primary
bronchus and left primary bronchus which go
to the right and left lungs respectively.
• Like the trachea, the primary bronchi contain
incomplete rings of cartilage and are lined by a
pseudo stratified ciliated epithelium.
• The primary bronchi divide to form smaller bronchi
called the secondary (lobar) bronchi.
• The secondary bronchi continue to branch, forming still
smaller tubes called tertiary (segmental) bronchi that
divide into bronchioles.
• Bronchioles, in turn, branch into even smaller tubes
called terminal bronchioles.
• Terminal bronchioles subdivide into microscopic
branches called respiratory bronchioles. As the
respiratory bronchioles penetrate more deeply into the
lungs, the epithelial lining changes from cuboidal to
squamous.
• Respiratory bronchioles, in turn, subdivide into several
alveolar ducts. This continuous branching from the
trachea resembles a tree trunk with its branches and is
commonly referred to as the bronchial tree.
Functions of respiratory system
1. supplies the body with oxygen and disposes of
carbon dioxide
2. filters inspired air
3. produces sound
4. contains receptors for smell
5. rids the body of some excess water and heat
6. It regulates acid base balance by excreting co2
from the body
7. Mechanism of respiration : inspiration ,
expiration , pause .
Mechanism of respiration
Inspiration
 Expansion of chest so thoracic cavity Allow increase.
 Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract.
 Same time external intercostal muscles pull the ribs
upward and outward increase the volume of thoracic
cavity.
 Volume of thoracic cavity increases, intra thoracic
pressure decrease.
 Inspiration occur :High pressure(atmosphere) to lower
pressure (lung)
Expiration
• Diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax.
• Volume of thorax decrease
• Stretched alveoli now recoil reducing intra
pulmonary volume.
• Pressure decrease due to thoracic volume
decrease
• Constriction of the lung increase pressure
inside thoracic cavity
• Cause air move out so expiration occur
Pause
After each inspiration and expiration there is a
small rest called respiratory pause. Then
continue inspiration and expiration
Disease Profile
Definition
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of
the lower airway due to temporary narrowing of
the bronchi by bronchospasm manifested as
dyspnea (usually expiratory), wheezing and
excessive cough.
Incidence
• Asthma is a reversible lung disease that may resolve
spontaneously or with treatment.
• According to the CDC, more than 25 millon Americans,
including 6.8 million children under age 18, suffer with
asthma.
• It is a global problem affecting around 300million
individuals of all ages, ethnic group and countries.
In Bheri Zonal Hospital
Paying and General ward
4 cases of Asthma out of patient 1Male and 3 Female
from (Shrawan 2074 to Falgun 2074).
Types of Bronchial Asthma
 Two type :
• Allergic or extrinsic asthma
• Non- allergic or intrinsic asthma
 In most cases, it is mixed type.
Allergic or extrinsic asthma
• It is produced by a hyperimmune (IgE) response to the inhalation of
specific antigen (pollen, dust, feather etc.)
• Antigen and antibody reaction is stimulated by extrinsic triggers.
• Antigen combines with IgE causing the mast cell to degranulate and
release chemical mediators (histamine, leuckotrienes,
prostaglandin).
• Chemical mediators act on bronchial smooth muscle to cause
bronchoconstriction, increase mucus secretion and cause cellular
infiltration and inflammation.
Non- allergic or intrinsic asthma
• Also called as non - IgE mediated
• Unidentified or non-specific factors of the
environment like cigarette smoke, perfumes,
drugs, change in temperature, viral respiratory
infections, emotional stress, excitement etc.

• Severe hypoxemia
• Pneumothorax
Prognosis
• The prognosis for asthma is generally good.
• Asthma diagnosed during childhood, half of cases
will no longer carry the diagnosis after decade.
• Early treatment with corticosteroid seems to prevent
decline in lung function.
• Mortality has decreased over the last few decades due
to better recognition and improvement in care
Prevention
Patient with recurrent asthma should undergo
testes to identify substances that precipitate
symptoms.
 Reducing or eliminating compounds known to
sensitive people from the work place may be
effective.
 Patients are instructed to avoid causative agents
whenever possible.
Smoking bans are effective in decreasing
exacerbations of asthma.

for detail study. My patient Mrs. Bhana devi saud 59yrs/Female came to
hospital on 2074/11/10 with the chief complain of cough, dyspnea, loss of
appetite. She belongs to middle socio- economic group.
During hospitalization, I provided her care regarding her need by
applying nursing process. Medicines used in my patients are antibiotics,
antipyretics and oxygen therapy.
During hospitalization I gave informal health teaching on various
topic like nutrition, personal hygiene, medication and its side effects, avoiding
dusty and dirty environment to patient and visitors. Different type of stress

  • 21.
  • 22. The organs of the respiratory system are: • nose • pharynx • larynx • trachea • two bronchi (one bronchus to each lung) • bronchioles and smaller air passages • two lungs and their coverings, the pleura Muscles of Respiration Diaphragm & intercostals muscles
  • 23. LUNGS Lungs are pair of respiratory organ situated in the thoracic cavity .The right and left lung are separated by mediasternum. There are two lungs in human being and they are: 1. Right lung 2.Left lung 1. Right lung ; it has 2 fissure and 3 lobes.it is larger and heavier than left lung it’s weight is 700gram.it is shorter and broader. 2.Left lung ; it has only 1fissure and 2 lobes.it is smaller and lighter than right lung it’s weight is 600gram.it is longer and narrower.
  • 24.
  • 25. STRUCTURE OF LUNGS • Each lungs is divided and described into five parts: 1. Apex :The apex is rounded and rises into the root of the neck. 2. Base : The base is concave and semi lunar in shape and closely associated with thoracic surface of the diaphragm. 3. Costal surface : the costal surface is convex and is closely associated with the costal cartilage, ribs and the intercostals muscles.
  • 26. • Medial surface ; the medial surface is concave and roughly tringular shaped area. • Hilus ; it is situated on the medial surface ,it lies at the level of 5th,6th,and 7th thoracic vertebrae
  • 27. BRONCHI AND BRONCHIEOLES • The trachea divides into a right primary bronchus and left primary bronchus which go to the right and left lungs respectively. • Like the trachea, the primary bronchi contain incomplete rings of cartilage and are lined by a pseudo stratified ciliated epithelium.
  • 28. • The primary bronchi divide to form smaller bronchi called the secondary (lobar) bronchi. • The secondary bronchi continue to branch, forming still smaller tubes called tertiary (segmental) bronchi that divide into bronchioles. • Bronchioles, in turn, branch into even smaller tubes called terminal bronchioles. • Terminal bronchioles subdivide into microscopic branches called respiratory bronchioles. As the respiratory bronchioles penetrate more deeply into the lungs, the epithelial lining changes from cuboidal to squamous. • Respiratory bronchioles, in turn, subdivide into several alveolar ducts. This continuous branching from the trachea resembles a tree trunk with its branches and is commonly referred to as the bronchial tree.
  • 29. Functions of respiratory system 1. supplies the body with oxygen and disposes of carbon dioxide 2. filters inspired air 3. produces sound 4. contains receptors for smell 5. rids the body of some excess water and heat 6. It regulates acid base balance by excreting co2 from the body 7. Mechanism of respiration : inspiration , expiration , pause .
  • 30. Mechanism of respiration Inspiration  Expansion of chest so thoracic cavity Allow increase.  Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract.  Same time external intercostal muscles pull the ribs upward and outward increase the volume of thoracic cavity.  Volume of thoracic cavity increases, intra thoracic pressure decrease.  Inspiration occur :High pressure(atmosphere) to lower pressure (lung)
  • 31. Expiration • Diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax. • Volume of thorax decrease • Stretched alveoli now recoil reducing intra pulmonary volume. • Pressure decrease due to thoracic volume decrease • Constriction of the lung increase pressure inside thoracic cavity • Cause air move out so expiration occur
  • 32. Pause After each inspiration and expiration there is a small rest called respiratory pause. Then continue inspiration and expiration
  • 33. Disease Profile Definition Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the lower airway due to temporary narrowing of the bronchi by bronchospasm manifested as dyspnea (usually expiratory), wheezing and excessive cough.
  • 34. Incidence • Asthma is a reversible lung disease that may resolve spontaneously or with treatment. • According to the CDC, more than 25 millon Americans, including 6.8 million children under age 18, suffer with asthma. • It is a global problem affecting around 300million individuals of all ages, ethnic group and countries. In Bheri Zonal Hospital Paying and General ward 4 cases of Asthma out of patient 1Male and 3 Female from (Shrawan 2074 to Falgun 2074).
  • 35. Types of Bronchial Asthma  Two type : • Allergic or extrinsic asthma • Non- allergic or intrinsic asthma  In most cases, it is mixed type.
  • 36. Allergic or extrinsic asthma • It is produced by a hyperimmune (IgE) response to the inhalation of specific antigen (pollen, dust, feather etc.) • Antigen and antibody reaction is stimulated by extrinsic triggers. • Antigen combines with IgE causing the mast cell to degranulate and release chemical mediators (histamine, leuckotrienes, prostaglandin). • Chemical mediators act on bronchial smooth muscle to cause bronchoconstriction, increase mucus secretion and cause cellular infiltration and inflammation.
  • 37. Non- allergic or intrinsic asthma • Also called as non - IgE mediated • Unidentified or non-specific factors of the environment like cigarette smoke, perfumes, drugs, change in temperature, viral respiratory infections, emotional stress, excitement etc.
