Normal respiration is spontaneous and unconscious.
There are 4 groups of neurons on each side in the Pons and medulla oblongata which are involved in regulation of respiration. These include
1. Medullary centers
Dorsal respiratory group of neurons
Ventral respiratory group of neurons
2. Pontine centers
Pneumotaxic centre
Apneustic centre.
It contains “I”neurons which are inspiratory neurons.
It’s located in dorsal portion of medulla oblongata.
It also includes the nucleus of tractus solitarius which is the sensory termination of afferent fibers in 9th ( GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NERVE) and 10th (VAGUS NERVE) cranial nerves.
They receive impulses from peripheral chemoreceptors, carotid and aortic baroreceptors and also other receptors in the lungs.
In this group inspiratory ramp signals are produced spontaneously.
If we cut the medulla oblongata from other parts of brain and also the afferent nerves which enter the medulla, still inspiratory ramp signals are produced which indicate it’s the inherent property of medulla.
Initially the signal is weak and then it progressively increases and then fades away.
Each ramp signal’s duration is 2 sec and then for 3 seconds there is no ramp signal.
So each cycle lasts for 5 seconds and there are 12 cycles /minute which is the respiratory rate.
Significance of the signal in the form of ramp is that it causes progressive expansion of the lungs. After production, these ramp signals are transmitted to the contra lateral motor neurons supplying the inspiratory muscles.
Rate and duration of inspiratory ramp signals is controlled by impulses from the Pneumotaxic centre and impulses from the lungs via vagi.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. Breathing
• The movement of air into and out of the lungs
(ventilation) results from a pressure
difference between the thoracic cavity and the
atmosphere.
• This pressure difference is created by changing
the volume of the thoracic cavity.
3. Mechanics of respiration
• There are five steps to respiration:
– Muscles – contract/ relax to cause;
– Movement – ribs/ sternum/ abdomen to cause;
– Thoracic cavity volume – increase/ decrease causing
– Lung air pressure – increase/ decrease causing
– Inspiration/ Expiration – air in or out
4. Inspiration
• An active process requiring
muscle contraction
• Diaphragm and ext. Intercostal
muscles contract
• Draw the ribs upward and
outward
• Thoracic cavity expands
• Pleural cavity pressure
decreases
• Lung surface is pulled outward
• Alveolar pressure decreases
below atmospheric pressure
causing air to rush in
5.
6. Expiration
• Expiration is a passive
process, no muscle
contraction required
• Diaphragm and external
intercostals relax
• Thoracic cavity decreases in
size
• Pleural pressure increases
• Alveolar pressure greater
than atmospheric pressure
• Air flows out
10. Mechanics Of Respiration During
Exercise
• Inspiration:
Sternocleidomastoid
Scalene
Anterior serratous muscle
Pectoralis major and minor
• Expiration:
Internal intercostal
Rectus abdominis muscle
11. Pulmonary Ventilation
• The total amount of air moved in and out of
the lungs each minute is called Pulmonary
Ventilation
– depends upon 2 factors:
• The size of each breath (tidal volume)
• The number of breaths/minute (breathing rate)
Rest = 7.5 L/min. Exercise = 220 L/min
12. Involuntary Respiration
• The basic rhythm of breathing occurs without
conscious effort.
• The inspiratory center located in the medulla sets
the basic rhythm by automatically initiating
inspiration with a two second burst of nerve
impulses to the diaphragm and the external
intercostal muscles.
• Contraction of the diaphragm and the external
intercostal muscles draws air into the lungs.
13. The Expiratory Center:
located in the medulla
Functions during forced expiration stimulating the internal
intercostal and abdominal muscles to contract.
14. External Intercostals:
Outside of the ribcase => wrap around
from the back of the rib almost to the
end of the bony part of the rib in front. .
They elevate the ribs.
Internal Intercostals:
Inside of the ribcase => extend from the
front of the ribs, and go around back,
past the bend in the ribs . They depress
the ribs.
16. Diaphragm
• In a healthy adult, the diaphragm is the dominant muscle of
respiration at rest
• The diaphragm is a musculotendinous sheet separating the
thorax from the abdomen. It is attached to the thoracic cage
under the lower ribs.
19. Movement Of Thoracic Cage
During Inspiration:
• Increases in all diameters
• Anterioposterior diameter Elevation of ribs
• Transverse diameter
• Vertical diameter Descent of diaphragm
During Expiration:
• Decrease in all diameters
25. Intrapleural Pressure
Pressure inside pleural
sac
• Always negative
under normal
conditions
• Always less than Palv
Varies with phase of
respiration
• At rest, -5 mm Hg
26. Intrapleural Pressure
– Negative pressure due to elasticity in lungs
and chest wall
• Lungs recoil inward
• Chest wall recoils outward
• Opposing pulls on intrapleural space
• Surface tension of intrapleural fluid hold wall
and lungs together
27. Intra-alveolar Pressure
–Pressure of air in alveoli
–Varies with phase of respiration
• During inspiration = negative
(less than atmospheric)
• During expiration = positive
(more than atmospheric)
28. Transpulmonary Pressure
– Transpulmonary pressure = Palv – Pip
– Distending pressure across the lung wall
– Increase in transpulmonary pressure:
• Increase distending pressure across lungs
• Lungs (alveoli) expand, increasing volume
29. During Inspiration:
• Due to enlargment of thoracic cage
• Negative pressure increased in thoracic cavity
• causes expansion of lungs
During Expiration:
• Thoracic cavity decrease in size
• Pressure comes back to pre-inspiratory level
