  1. Anatomy & Physiology Health Careers Academy Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  2. The Respiratory System Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  3. The Respiratory System • Composition • Nose • Pharynx (throat) • Larynx (voice box) • Trachea (windpipe) • Bronchi • Alveoli • Lungs Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  4. The Respiratory System • Function • Taking in O2 • Removing CO2 Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  5. Ventilation (breathing) • 2 phases Inspiration & Expiration • Inspiration = breathing in • Expiration = breathing out Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  6. Influenza (flu) Laryngitis Bronchitis Rhinitis Sinusitis URI (Upper respiratory infection {a cold}) Diseases Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  7. The Summary The end, my friend Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  9. Anatomy & PhysiologySummary Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  10. The Summary • A health care worker must understand normal body function in order to understand disease processes • Structures are cells, tissues, organs, body systems • Systems work together for proper body function Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  11. The Summary Systems • Integumentary protects • Skeletal and muscular provide structure and movement • Circulatory transports O2 & nutrients & removes CO2 wastes • Lymphatic assists circulatory • Nervous coordinates activities and allows for response Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  12. The Summary Systems cont. • Special senses allows reaction to environment • Respiratory takes in O2 & eliminates CO2 • Digestive physically breaks down food • Urinary removes waste and excess H2O • Endocrine controls body functions • Reproductive allows creation of new life Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  13. The Summary • The systems are interrelated and work together to maintain homeostasis • Disease can alter the balance Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT

  14. THE VERY END, MY FRIEND! Nanette Morris, RN, BA, NBCT
