  • Lung Anatomy
    Lung anatomy Breathing Breathing is an automatic and usually subconscious process which is controlled by the brain. The brain will determine how much oxygen we require and how fast we need to breathe in order to supply our vital organs (brain, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach and bowel), as well as our muscles and joints, with enough oxygen to carry out our normal daily activities. In order for breathing to be effective we need to use our lungs, breathing muscles and blood system efficiently. This leaflet should help you to better understand the process of breathing and how we get the much needed oxygen into our bodies. The lungs You have two lungs, one in the right side and one in the left side of your chest. The right lung is bigger than the left due to the position of the heart (which is positioned in the left side of the chest). Source: Pulmonary Rehabilitation Reference No: 66354-1 Issue date: 13/2/20 Review date: 13/2/23 Page 1 of 5 Both lungs are covered by 2 thin layers of tissue called the pleura. The pleura stop the surface of the lungs rubbing together as we breathe in and out. The lungs are protected by the ribcage. The airways Within the lungs there is a vast network of airways (tubes) which help to transport the oxygen into the lungs and the carbon dioxide out. These tubes branch into smaller and smaller tubes the further they go into the lungs. Page 2 of 5 Trachea (windpipe): This tube connects your nose and mouth to your lungs.

  • Quick Review: Surgical Anatomy of Trachea Tracheal Ligament
    Quick Review: Surgical Anatomy of Trachea tracheal ligament. This attachment makes the larynx move up and down along with the larynx during respiration and swallowing. The length of trachea can be correctly gauzed by measuring the exact distance between lower border of cricoid cartilage and apex of the bifurcation angle (Perelman 1972). It varies with age (Allen, M S 2003). Langova (1946) measured the length of the trachea in 390 cadavers ranging in age from six months of intra-uterine life to twenty years and found that it was 3.1 cm on an average in the newborn, 6 cm in a five year old child, 7 cm at the age of ten and 8.5 cm at the age of 15 years. In adults the length of trachea varies widely from 8.5 to 15 cm. Tehmina Begum et al (2009) measured the length of trachea in adult males in the age range of 20 to 58 years. The mean lengths of the "Larynx, Trachea, and the Bronchi. (Front view.)

  • CARBON MONOXIDE: the SILENT KILLER Information You Should
    CARBON MONOXIDE: THE SILENT KILLER Information You Should Know Carbon monoxide is a silent killer that can lurk within fossil fuel burning household appliances. Many types of equipment and appliances burn different types of fuel to provide heat, cook, generate electricity, power vehicles and various tools, such as chain saws, weed eaters and leaf blowers. When these units operate properly, they use fresh air for combustion and vent or exhaust carbon dioxide. When fresh air is restricted, through improper ventilation, the units create carbon monoxide, which can saturate the air inside the structure. Carbon Monoxide can be lethal when accidentally inhaled in concentrated doses. Such a situation is referred to as carbon monoxide poisoning. This is a serious condition that is a medical emergency that should be taken care of right away. What Is It? Carbon monoxide, often abbreviated as CO, is a gas produced by burning fossil fuel. What makes it such a silent killer is that it is odorless and colorless. It is extremely difficult to detect until the body has inhaled a detrimental amount of the gas, and if inhaled in high concentrations, it can be fatal. Carbon monoxide causes tissue damage by blocking the body’s ability to absorb enough oxygen. In fact, poisoning from this gas is one of the leading causes of unintentional death from poison. Common Sources of CO Kerosene or fuel-based heaters Fireplaces Gasoline powered equipment and generators Charcoal grills Automobile exhaust Portable generators Tobacco smoke Chimneys, furnaces, and boilers Gas water heaters Wood stoves and gas stoves Properly installed and maintained appliances are safe and efficient.

  • Respiratory Physiology - Part B Experimental Determination of Anatomical Dead Space Value (Human 9 - Version Sept
    Comp. Vert. Physiology- BI 244 Respiratory Physiology - Part B Experimental Determination of Anatomical Dead Space Value (Human 9 - Version Sept. 10, 2013) [This version has been modified to also serve as a tutorial in how to run HUMAN's artificial organs] Part of the respiratory physiology computer simulation work for this week allows you to obtain a hand-on feeling for the effects of anatomical dead space on alveolar ventilation. The functional importance of dead space can explored via employing HUMAN's artificial respirator to vary the respiration rate and tidal volume. DEAD SPACE DETERMINATION Introduction The lack of unidirectional respiratory medium flow in non-avian air ventilators creates the existence of an anatomical dead space. The anatomical dead space of an air ventilator is a fixed volume not normally under physiological control. However, the relative importance of dead space is adjustable by appropriate respiratory maneuvers. For example, recall the use by panting animals of their dead space to reduce a potentially harmful respiratory alkalosis while hyperventilating. In general, for any given level of lung ventilation, the fraction of the tidal volume attributed to dead space will affect the resulting level of alveolar ventilation, and therefore the efficiency (in terms of gas exchange) of that ventilation. [You should, of course, refresh your knowledge of total lung ventilation, tidal volume alveolar ventilation.] Your objective here is to observe the effects of a constant "unknown" dead space on resulting alveolar ventilation by respiring the model at a variety of tidal volume-frequency combinations. You are then asked to calculate the functional dead space based on the data you collect.

Next-generation sequencing techniques have revolutionized the understanding of pulmonary physiology and pathology. Currently, it is clear that the lung is not a sterile place; therefore, the investigation of the participation of the pulmonary microbiome in the presentation, severity, and prognosis of multiple pathologies, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and interstitial lung diseases, contributes to a better understanding of the pathophysiology. Dysregulation of microbiota components in the microbiome–host interaction is associated with multiple lung pathologies, severity, and prognosis, making microbiome study a useful tool for the identification of potential therapeutic strategies.
