Document Summary

Mcb 32 lecture #19: functions of respiratory system, gas exchange, vocalization, regulate blood ph, protect from inhaled pathogens, overview of respiratory system exchange with circulatory system, glucose + o2 co2 + h2o + atp, medical moment: sleep apnea. Apnea = no breathing: the most common form is obstructive sleep apnea, where the muscles in upper airways relax and collapse into airway, airways become blocked. Increase volume in lungs decrease palv inhale, diaphragm contracted: decreased volume in lungs increase palv exhale, diaphragm relaxed, pneumothrax collapsed lung. Intrapleural space acts as suction holding the lungs to chest wall. If pleural sac is broken, then suction released, and lungs collapse: heimlich maneuver, the heimlich maneuver is a way to help someone who is choking. What change in co2 concentration would cause bronchodilation: increased co2, because active tissues need increased atp which leads to increased co2, you are startled by a friend and you notice you are breathing faster than before.

One of the most common chronic conditions affecting the respiratory system is asthma. Asthma is a condition characterized by inflammation of the airways. When an asthma attack is triggered, the airways become even more inflamed and can restrict breathing. Common symptoms during an asthma attacks include coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Severe asthma attacks can be fatal. People with a family history of asthma are more likely to have the condition. While there is no cure for asthma, proper medical care and a management plan can help to maintain quality of life for people living with asthma. There are different types of asthma, each with their own triggers and management plans. Type Description Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB), or Exercise-induced Asthma (EIA) Some people only experience asthma symptoms during exercise. Exercise-induced asthma causes the narrowing of airways during exercise, which restricts the flow of air to and from the lungs. Cold, dry air tends to exacerbate symptoms, while warm, humid air may reduce symptoms. People with exercise-induced asthma should work with their doctor to create a management plan that still allows them to exercise while keeping their symptoms under control. Allergic Asthma Allergic asthma is the most common form of asthma. It is triggered by inhaling allergen particulates, such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, or mold. The bodyâs reaction to the allergens causes inflammation that results in coughing, wheezing, and other symptoms of asthma. Occupational Asthma Occupational asthma is caused by the frequent inhalation (breathing) of gases, fumes, dust, or other harmful substances in the workplace. Employees working in the chemical or petroleum industries are frequently exposed to chemicals such as Sulphur dioxide or hydrochloric acid, and may develop occupational asthma after prolonged exposure. Childhood Asthma Childhood asthma is usually developed before age 5. It is a condition that affects millions of children. It is vital that childhood asthma is properly controlled to prevent damage to the developing lungs Risk factors: â¢ Allergies â¢ Family history â¢ Frequent respiratory infections â¢ Low birth-weight â¢ Second-hand smoke â¢ Residing in a low-income, urban environment

Asthma symptoms that are triggered by exposure to pollen, pet dander, mold, or dust mites is indicative of which of the following types of asthma:

Occupational asthma

Childhood asthma

Allergic asthma

Exercise-induced asthma
