over the daytime and people closest to you complain about your loud snoring at night? You could be like most Americans and have an undiagnosed sleeping disorder known as Sleep Apnea. “Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. You may have sleep apnea if you snore loudly and you feel tired even after a full night ’s sleep.” (Sleep Apnea‚ Para. 1) Getting a full well rested night’s sleep is important to everyone and those with this disorder

For instance mammals and birds are true endotherms that can maintain a constant internal body temperature b. ectotherm Ectotherms are animals that are not able to regulate their body temperature or in simple

respiratory dysfunction in children tends to be more serious than in adults because the lumens in a child’s respiratory tract are smaller and therefore‚ are more likely to become obstructed. Moreover‚ because very young children can panic when breathing becomes labored‚ a great deal of nursing support should be at hand to care for them. Respiratory disorders range from upper respiratory tract to lower respiratory tract infections. Upper respiratory tract infections include those diseases

so what do you do? The answer is a procedure called Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation‚ or C.P.R. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a cycle of rescue breaths and chest compressions that can help restore circulation to the brain in someone who is not breathing. An individual can suffer permanent brain damage without oxygen for only a few minutes‚ making C.P.R. very important in times of such a crisis. Before beginning C.P.R.‚ you should always be certain that the scene around the injured person is safe
Premium Cardiopulmonary resuscitation Death First aid
gas exchange in pulmonary capillaries and breathing which is largely an involuntary activity. When breathing in (inhaling) intercostal muscles between the ribs contract‚ pulling the chest walls up and outwards. The diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts and flattens‚ increasing the size of the chest (rib cage expands). The lungs increase in size‚ so the pressure inside them falls and enables air to rush in through the nose and mouth. When breathing out (exhaling) intercostal muscles between

something that irritates your lungs‚ known as a trigger (see below)‚ your airways become narrow‚ the muscles around them tighten and there is an increase in the production of sticky mucus (phlegm). This leads to symptoms including: • difficulty breathing • wheezing and coughing • a tight chest A severe onset of symptoms is known as an asthma attack or an ’acute asthma exacerbation’. Asthma attacks may require hospital treatment and can sometimes be life-threatening‚ although

Have you ever wondered which body system helps bring oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the heart? Well that system is called the Circulatory System or the Cardiovascular System. Have you ever wondered which body system helps bring air into the lungs? That system is called the Respiratory system. You are probably wondering why I am mentioning the Respiratory and Circulatory system? I am talking about them because‚ these are the two system that I am going to be comparing and contrasting in this
