hemoptysis, and exertional fatigue. What are the findings of the physical exam and what is their significance? The findings of the patient’s physical exam were : oral temperature is 95.5 degrees F, pulse is 78 bpm, blood pressure is 96/86 mm HG., respiratory rate is 18 breaths/min. and oxygen saturation is 90% while breathing room air. The examination of his head and neck is normal He has decreased breath sounds in the right anterior lower lung fields, with no rales, wheezing, rhonchi, or rubs.

made up of a 200m swim followed by a 1km run. The components of fitness relating to this Biathlon were as follows: CARDIOVASCULAR / RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE Cardiovascular / Respiratory Endurance (CRE) is the ability of your body systems to gather, process and deliver oxygen to your muscles. Your cardiorespiratory system, which is made up of your heart, lungs and circulatory system, needs to work together efficiently. You need to have good CRE for aerobic exercise. The running and swimming legs

aware that our careless use of hazardous chemicals and fossil fuels may leave the planet uninhabitable in the future, most over look the fact that they are also cause real damage to our bodies at this moment. Such pollutants cause damage to our respiratory system, leading to the fluctuation of the life span of an individual depending on a number of conditions. Amongst these conditions are the individuals specific geographic location, age, and life style. This paper is structured as a series of relevant

Chronic Effects of Exercise on the Body Describe the musculoskeletal, energy systems, cardiovascular and respiratory systems responses to acute exercise (P1 & P2) Explain the response of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems responses to acute exercise (M1) There are a number of ways which the musculoskeletal system responds to acute exercise. These include: Musculoskeletal: • Increased blood supply- When we exercise there is an increased

Abstract Exposure to high levels of air pollution can cause a variety of adverse health outcomes. Air quality in developed countries has been generally improved over the last three decades. However, many recent epidemiological studies have consistently shown positive associations between low-level exposure to air pollution and health outcomes. Thus, adverse health effects of air pollution, even at relatively low levels, remain a public concern. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research

each breath. Also lower partial pressure reduces ability of oxygen to permeate lung tissue. In an aircraft has a pressurized system to adjust pressure and maintain a constant partial pressure of the cabin environment. Virtually a plane is flying at an altitude of 30000 feet over; the altitude of cabin is a mere 6000-8000 feet will be maintained due to the pressurized system. With this the physical effect of the air make the maximum reduces and prevents a bad affect the human body. To sum up hypoxia

Milestone 2 Organ System Interrelationship and Disease Assessment David Norton BIO 210 Professor Price The Interactions between the Circulatory system and the Respiratory systems are: • Oxygen is an essential part of the metabolic process of nearly all cells in the human body. Oxygen is gathered through the respiratory system and transported through the body via the blood and circulatory system. • The circulatory and respiratory system work together to eliminate waste product carbon dioxide •
