Eupnea 

Normal breathing

100

Expiration

Exhaling 

100
Function of the lungs 

- Breathing 

- Pulmonary ventilation

100

Functions of the nose 

- warms and moistens/ humidifies air

- smell

100

In the Upper Respiratory Tract 

- Nose

- Pharynx/Throat

- Larynx

200

Hyperventilation

Rapid and deep breathing 

200

Spirometer 

Measures amount of air exchanged in breathing 

200
Dysfunction of the lungs

- Pneumothorax
           ~ air within intrapleural space 

200

Functions of the Pharynx

- Passageway
         ~ food
         ~ liquids
         ~ air

200
In the Lower Respiratory tract (inside the chest)

- Trachea

- Bronchial tree 

- Lungs 

300

hypoventilation

Slow and shallow breathing 

300

Respiration

Exchange of gases between a living organism and its environment  

300

Functions of the Bronchial Tree

Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles

- air distribution

- passageway

- air move to & from alveoli 

300

Functions of the Larynx 

- Air distribution
      ~ passageway for air
      ~ to and from the lungs
- Voice production
- Epiglottis:
       ~ protects trachea & lungs
       ~ prevents aspiration 

300

Dysfunction of the Trachea

- Obstruction
     ~ blockage of trachea = airway occlusion
     ~ complete blockage
            -> death in minutes
     ~ tracheal obstruction
            - > 4000 deaths annually US 

400

Dyspnea

Labored or difficult breathing 

400

Respiratory Arrest 

- after a period of apnea 

- failure to resume breathing 

400

Functions of the Bronchial tree

Alveoli

-gas exchange

- exchange gases between air and blood 

400

Function of the Pleura

- Reduces friction during breathing 

         ~ between the lungs and chest wall 

500

Apnea

No respiration 

500

Cheyene-Stokes

end of life 
500

Some functions of the respiratory system

- warms incoming air

- filters incoming air
- humidifies incoming air
- distribute air
- gas exchange 

500

Function of the Trachea 

Passageway for air to move to and from lungs
