The process of ventilation as a series of changes in pressure within the thorax can be modelled using the bell jar model. Parts of the model represent different parts of the respiratory system as ...

When exercising, cells will need more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide as a result of increased respiration. When blood reaches the lungs, a larger volume of air is needed to replace the ...

In these instances, the respiratory system is the limiting factor – arterial hypoxaemia ensues and VO 2max and performance are affected. Avoiding an increase in airway resistance during exercise is ...

The respiratory system, which gets the most affected when the temperature drops, needs to be prioritised. Priya Singh, women's health physiotherapist and lactation consultant at Cloudnine Group of ...

Respiratory system models are experimental systems that recreate aspects of human respiratory system development, function or disease. Animal models such as dog, rodent and pig can be used to ...
