Exercise 1: Anatomy of the Respiratory System

What are the two functions of the larynx?
Larynx is a cartilaginous and a muscular structure while holds vocal cords together. It is used by human beings to talk, swallow and breathe. It is lined by the mucous membrane hence forming part of the respiratory system. Larynx protects the airways by closing quickly after mechanical simulation hence stopping respiratory and curbing the entry of foreign substances into the airways. The larynx also produces sound, controls ventilation and acts as a sensory organ.

Abstract

Airborne hazards in the workplace cause illness and fatalities when dust and chemicals are inhaled at a workplace (UKHSE 2015). Besides breathing in airborne dust, another danger is that explosions start when dust ignites from sparking machinery especially from circular saws (Hedlund et al. 2014). The amount and type of airborne dust is regulated by the HSE. The Quantitative Risk Management Framework was identified as practical method for evaluating and finding solutions to control airborne dusts that cause explosions and health problems. Another evaluation tool is the Control Banding Tool that was developed specifically to assess the risk of ...

1.0 Ensuring Worker Safety during Sustainable Woodworking, Furniture Making and Carpentry
1.1 Introduction
Furniture building, cabinet making and carpentry in construction projects put workers at risk due to inhaling “finely divided” wood dust; in fact, wood dust is “a known human carcinogen” (Yuan et al. 2014; NTP 2014). “Small solid particles . . . below 75 μm (micrometer) in diameter, which settle out under their own weight but which may remain suspended for some time” are hazardous (WHO 1999). The Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) based on volume for inhalable wood dust is 5 mg/m3 while the ...

Tissue and Cellular Organization

The circle of life on the earth is very complicated, though sometimes it seems to be rather easy. People see plants, insects, various fluids, surface and soil, but they often do not think of all the complexity of the constitution of bodies that fill up the world. In other words, everything consists of cells and tissues, and in order to understand the essence of every matter it is important to investigate their structure.
There are some organisms, such as bacteria, that are unicellular or they are made up of only a “single cell” (Science Daily, 2014). These one-celled organisms ...

In the process of breathing, a molecule of oxygen has to pass through upper respiratory tract and then lower respiratory tract. The upper respiratory tract consists of air passages of the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx and upper trachea. The lower respiratory tract includes the parts present within the chest cavity namely lower trachea and lungs. The oxygen (from air) enters the respiratory system through nose. Nose is made of bone and cartilage covered with skin and has two nostrils divided by a bony septum. The nostrils are lined with fine hair which blocks the entry of dust and bacteria into ...

Influenza is a highly communicable viral infection that is fundamental for the critical outbreaks of respiratory illnesses; it is usually very common in the winter (CDC, 2015). Influenza, unlike the common cold, can cause brutal, life-threatening complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia as well as a severe illness which must require hospitalization. The flu is more dangerous to pregnant women, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander individuals, elderly people and young children.

Upper respiratory disease is a term that encompasses acute infections ranging from the benign common cold to life-threatening conditions (e.g., epiglottitis). Cases of upper respiratory disease are easy to recognize because the patients will complain about the following symptoms (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2016):

Runny nose (always)

Sore throat (always)
Coughing (common, usually in cases of viral etiology)
Sneezing (common, usually in cases of viral etiology)
Other symptoms depend on the patient’s age, medical history, and the pathogen causing the infection, so it is important to conduct a thorough assessment which consists of the following steps:

Introduction
Methillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by staphylococcus bacteria that is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g. penicillin, methicillin, and amoxicillin), which are normally used to treat staphylococcus infections. Studies have shown that about 40% of Staphylococcus aureus strains have developed resistance to methicillin (Durai, Ng, & Hoque, 2010). Most of the MRSA infections occur in people, who have been admitted in hospitals or other such healthcare settings as, for example, dialysis centers and nursing homes. In case of the development of infection in healthcare settings, it is also known as healthcare-associated (HA) MRSA infections. Usually, ...

Part A: Cranial Nerves:

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves emerging from the brain’s underside passing via cranial openings leading to various parts of the head, neck and body trunk. These nerves are naming, and numbering of these nerves is based on their position i.e. from the anterior to the posterior of the brain. In this case, the olfactory nerve is CN1 while CN12 is the hypoglossal nerve (Wissmann, 2013). In this paper, only four of the twelve cranial nerves shall be discussed i.e. the Olfactory nerve (CN1), Oculomotor Nerve (CN-III) which are sensory nerves, and the Trigeminal Nerve (CN-V) and ...

Definition, pathophysiology and epidemiology of acute sinusitis

Definition of the disorder
Acute sinusitis can be defined as an inflammation of the sinuses characterized by symptoms lasting up to four (4) weeks (Mandal, Patel, & Ferguson, 2012). It can be prompted by some inciting factors such as bacteria, fungi, infections, allergens or environmental irritants. A viral etiology related to the ‘common’ cold is the most common cause of acute sinusitis.

Pathophysiology

Numerous factors cause the development of acute sinusitis. In most cases, a viral respiratory infection occurs before the bacterial sinusitis, which subsequently results in the inflammation of the sinuses and blocking of the ostiomeatal complex (Wald ...

Background

Asthma is a chronic disease associated with inflammation of the lining of airway and obstruction of lung airflow. It usually involves an increase in the number of inflammatory cells, most commonly eosinophils and to some extent basophils, mast cells, macrophages. (Eds. Brunton, et al., 2009) Asthma, together with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), is considered as one ofthe most common obstructive lung diseases characterized by expiratory airflow obstruction. (eds. Longo, et al., 2012)
An asthmatic patient usually presents with recurrent events of shortness of bright (SOB), chest tightness, and wheezing, “a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing caused by movement of ...
