 Introduction of Respiratory
System
The respiratory system is a complex network of organs and tissues responsible for
essential functions such as gas exchange, pH regulation, and sound production.
 Functioning of The Respiratory System
1 Inhalation (Inspiration)
During inhalation, the diaphragm and
intercostal muscles contract, extending
the chest cavity.
3 Exhalation (Expiration)
Exhalation is a passive procedure where the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax,
permitting the chest cavity to reduce in size.
2 Gas Exchange
Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses
across the narrow walls of the alveoli
into the surrounding capillaries, where it
ties up to hemoglobin in red blood cells
for carrier to body tissues.
 Functions of The Respiratory System
Gas Exchange
The immediate process of the
respiratory process is the
exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide in the lungs.
Regulation of pH
It enables in conserving the
acid-base equilibrium in the
body by controlling the
levels of carbon dioxide. Sound Production
The respiratory strategy
recreations a function in the
exposition of sound for speech
and other vocalizations.

of the respiratory process
responsible for gas exchange .
BIOMATERIAL IN
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
The respiratory system is an extremely critical network within the human body reliable
for the exchange of gases, largely oxygen and carbon dioxide, necessary for
maintaining life. Including a series of interconnected organs and tissues, this
complicated system provides efficient breathing and gas exchange to fund cellular
functions throughout the body.

procedure of oxygen delivery. rapid oxygen supplementation is crucial.

Venturi Masks
Venturi masks are organized to produce precise oxygen engagements to patients with specific
respiratory needs.
 Endotracheal Tubes
1 Composition and Function
Commonly formulated of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone, serve as crucial tools in
medical interventions needing airway management.

2 Protection from Aspiration

Endotracheal tubes stretch a vital function in insulating the lungs from aspiration, especially
in patients who are incapable to defend their airway due to different medical situations or
during surgical procedures.

3 Emergency Use
In crisis treatment, endotracheal intubation with these tubes is frequently conducted to govern
airway obstacles or respiratory loss resulted in by trauma, harsh illness, or overdose.
