Drug Prescription
The document discusses different types of medications used to treat cough and respiratory symptoms. Antitussives are taken orally to relieve cough reflexes associated with colds and flu but should not be used for productive coughs or lung disorders. Corticosteroids can be inhaled, applied topically as a cream or gel, and are used to reduce inflammation from conditions like asthma, allergies and arthritis. Expectorants are also taken orally and work by thinning mucus in the airways to make coughing it up easier, treating chest congestion. Each type of medication lists examples of specific drugs and notes any safety warnings.
Decongestant .. by Dr Duryab Jamil
Decongestants are medications used to relieve nasal congestion by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. The most common active ingredients are pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine. Intranasal corticosteroids and antihistamines can also help with congestion symptoms. Regular long-term use of decongestants should be avoided due to risk of side effects like loss of smell. They work by activating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Common decongestant brands are listed. People with certain medical conditions should avoid decongestants due to risk of interactions or side effects.

Respiratory System - Anatomy and Physiology
The respiratory system consists of an upper respiratory tract that conducts air and a lower respiratory tract responsible for gas exchange. The upper tract includes the nose, pharynx and larynx. The lower tract begins with the trachea, which branches into bronchi and progressively smaller bronchioles that terminate in alveoli in the lungs. The alveoli are the sites of gas exchange, containing a thin membrane that allows diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the alveoli and blood in pulmonary capillaries.
Anatomy & physiology of respiratory system
The respiratory system consists of an upper respiratory tract and a lower respiratory tract. The upper tract includes the nose, pharynx and larynx and transports air through the conducting portion. The lower tract includes the trachea, bronchi and lungs and is responsible for gas exchange through the respiratory portion. The respiratory system functions to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the body while also regulating pH, temperature and filtering air. Breathing involves the cyclic processes of inhalation where air is drawn into the lungs, and exhalation where air is forced out.
Ch13ppt respiratory system standard
This PowerPoint presentation summarizes the key components and functions of the respiratory system. It describes the major organs involved, including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. It explains how gas exchange occurs in the alveoli and how breathing is regulated. Several respiratory disorders are also discussed such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, and asthma.
Chapter 22: Respiratory System (#3)
The document summarizes key concepts about gas exchange in the respiratory system. It discusses Dalton's law of partial pressures and Henry's law, which explain how gases dissolve in liquids and exert pressure. The document then explains how atmospheric and alveolar air differ in composition due to differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures. It also describes ventilation-perfusion coupling in the lungs and how this efficient gas exchange. Oxygen is transported in the blood by dissolving in plasma and binding reversibly to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Factors like temperature, pH, carbon dioxide levels, and 2,3-BPG affect the oxygen-hemoglobin binding curve. Carbon dioxide is transported in three forms in the blood - dissolved, bound to hem
Respiratory physiology
By increasing the oxygen flow, you likely decreased his respiratory drive by lowering the stimulus to his peripheral chemoreceptors. His high PCO2 was not addressed, leading to respiratory acidosis and unconsciousness. Oxygen therapy needs to be carefully titrated in clients with chronic respiratory conditions.
Chapter 22: Respiratory System (#2)
The document summarizes the mechanics of ventilation in the respiratory system. It discusses how inspiration and expiration occur through changes in pressure and volume in the thoracic cavity, lungs, and alveoli. Inspiration is driven by contraction of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles, which increases thoracic cavity volume and causes air to flow into the lungs down the pressure gradient. Expiration occurs passively as the inspiratory muscles relax and the lungs and chest wall recoil, decreasing thoracic volume and causing air to flow out. The document also covers factors influencing ventilation like airway resistance, alveolar surface tension, and lung compliance.
Human Anatomy&Physiology Respiratory S.
The respiratory system has three main functions: gas exchange, pulmonary ventilation, and transport of respiratory gases. It has two main zones - the conducting zone which includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and the respiratory zone where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli. Gas exchange takes place across the alveolar-capillary membrane, which is only one cell thick. Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood in the pulmonary capillaries and carbon dioxide moves out of the blood into the alveoli.
Powerpoint respiratory system
Gas exchange surfaces in animals are thin, close to an efficient transport system, and moist to allow for quick gas diffusion while preventing cell death. They also have a large surface area and are well-ventilated to increase the amount of gas that can diffuse simultaneously through breathing movements. The respiratory system contains ciliated and goblet cells - goblet cells produce mucus to trap bacteria on lung surfaces, while cilia beat in a coordinated way to carry mucus and trapped particles away from the lungs.
Chapter 22: Respiratory System (#1)
This document provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. It begins by outlining the major conducting structures of the respiratory system from the nose to the alveoli. It then describes each structure in more detail, including their location, tissue composition, and functions. Key points covered include the protective and warming functions of the nose, the roles of the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and terminal bronchioles in conducting air, and the gas exchange that occurs across the respiratory membrane in the alveoli.
Chapter 22: Respiratory System (#4)
The document summarizes control of respiration and factors that influence breathing rate and depth. It describes how the ventral respiratory group (VRG) in the medulla generates the basic breathing rhythm and how the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) integrates sensory input. It discusses how changes in arterial CO2, O2, and pH levels detected by central and peripheral chemoreceptors signal the respiratory centers to adjust ventilation. Higher brain centers, lung stretch receptors, and exercise can also influence breathing.

The document summarizes the key components and functions of the respiratory system. It describes the major organs that make up the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea) and lower respiratory tract (bronchi, lungs). It explains how the lungs are divided into lobes and covered in pleural membranes. It also outlines the processes of pulmonary ventilation including inspiration and expiration, and the transport of air through the bronchial tree to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs.
respiratory physiology,
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Respiratory Physiology
This document provides an overview of respiratory physiology, including:
1) The structures and functions of the conducting and respiratory zones of the lungs. Gas exchange occurs between air and blood in the alveoli.
2) The mechanics of breathing, including the roles of the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and pleural membranes in inspiration and expiration.
3) Measurements of pulmonary function including lung volumes and capacities. Pulmonary disorders can be restrictive or obstructive.
anatomy
The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide. It includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, diaphragm, and alveoli. The nasal cavity and mouth allow air entry, while the trachea and bronchi distribute it to the lungs. In the alveoli, oxygen passes into blood cells and carbon dioxide out, through gas exchange. The diaphragm and lungs work together to inhale and exhale air and transfer gases between the environment and blood.
Physiology Of Respiration
This document summarizes respiratory physiology, including the three functions of respiration: ventilation, gas exchange, and oxygen utilization. It describes the mechanics of breathing, the structure and function of the lungs and alveoli, gas exchange in the lungs and blood, and common pulmonary disorders like asthma and emphysema.
Respiratory system
The respiratory system has an upper conducting zone and lower respiratory zone. The upper zone includes the nose, pharynx and larynx, which warm and filter air. The lower zone includes the trachea, bronchi and lungs. The lungs are paired, cone-shaped organs located in the thoracic cavity. They are divided into lobes and lobules which end in alveoli, where gas exchange occurs. Respiration includes pulmonary ventilation which moves air in and out of the lungs, and external/internal respiration which is the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood, and between blood and tissues. Various factors influence ventilation and gas exchange rates, including lung volume and compliance, airway resistance, partial pressures, surface area and diffusion
Respiratory System Notes
The document provides an overview of the human respiratory system, including its key functions, organs, and mechanics. The respiratory system functions to exchange gases, purify air, and produce sound. Its organs include the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Within the lungs, gas exchange takes place in tiny air sacs called alveoli. Breathing is driven by the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, pulling air into and pushing air out of the lungs.
The respiratory system
The respiratory system allows for oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to exit through a series of major organs. Air enters through the nose or mouth and passes through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and into the lungs where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli. Oxygen then passes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide passes out of the bloodstream and is exhaled. Breathing is facilitated by the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm and rib cage which expands and contracts the chest cavity to inhale and exhale air.
Human anatomy and physiology
The document provides an overview of human anatomy and physiology. It begins with objectives for students to gain knowledge of body parts and systems. It then defines anatomy and physiology.

Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs. When asthma occurs, the airways become inflamed and swollen, making them very sensitive and causing the muscles around the airways to tighten. This causes symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing. There are different levels of asthma severity ranging from mild to severe based on symptoms. Medications can help control asthma symptoms and prevent attacks. It is important for dental patients with asthma to take their medications as prescribed and for dental staff to take steps to minimize triggers.
