Whatever we are doing, at any time whether it is resting, walking around or sleeping, our body and the complicated systems within it are constantly working to keep us alive. In order to maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system it is important to exercise, but what demands does exercise have on the body? In order to investigate some of the effects

tracheostomy significantly alters the patient’s respiratory physiology. In bypassing the upper respiratory tract, the patient is more susceptible to changes in humidity and there is a consequential change in the function of the respiratory mucosa. Understanding these changes is fundamental to managing these patients effectively (see Chapter 1, Anatomy and Physiology of the Respiratory Tract). NORMAL MECHANISM OF HUMIDIFICATION The upper respiratory system: the nose, pharynx, larynx and the trachea

anatomical changes that occur are the following: 1) Maternal respiratory rate and tidal volume all increase. This occurs because the lungs of the mother have to deliver the extra oxygen that is needed for the fetus and she also has to get rid of the extra carbon dioxide that is given off by the fetus. 2) The volume of the blood also increases; this happens because the blood that flows to the placenta is reducing the volume in the system and also the metabolic activity of the fetus lowers the bloods

| In the anatomy of mammals, the thoracic diaphragm, or simply the diaphragm (Ancient Greek: διάφραγμα diáphragma "partition"), is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle[2] that extends across the bottom of the rib cage. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (heart, lungs & ribs) from the abdominal cavity and performs an important function in respiration: as the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases and air is drawn into the lungs.A "diaphragm" in anatomy can refer

history. The tradition of medicine dates back to the work of ancient Greek medical practitioners such as Hippocrates of Kos (b. 460 B.C.E.) and to figures such as Galen of Pergamum (c. 130–c. 200), who contributed much to early understanding of anatomy and physiology. The tradition of natural history dates back to the work of Aristotle (384–322 B.C.E.). Especially important are his History of Animals and other works where he showed naturalist leanings. Also important is the work of Aristotle's student

the correct format at the end of your lectures and tutorials as well as in the free Student Study Guide. This essay should have approximately 10 relevant sources. Textbooks, if cited, should be a range of medical-surgical, pathophysiology, anatomy & physiology and pharmacology for specific information e.g. organ function or drugs. Do not copy information from books or articles or information from previous students’ assignments. This is plagiarism and you will be heavily penalised. Turnitin will

HASPI Medical Anatomy & Physiology 14a Lab Activity Name(s): ________________________ Period: _________ Date: ___________ The Respiratory System A healthy respiratory system is crucial to an individual’s overall health, and respiratory distress is often one of the first indicators of a life-threatening illness. The function of the respiratory system is to exchange gases between the external air and the body. The lungs are the primary organ of the respiratory system that performs this function.
