The Respiratory System



The anatomical features of the Respiratory System include the airways - nose, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), bronchi; lungs and respiratory muscles.

It is responsible for the process of respiration, which is vital for the existence of living beings. Respiration refers to the exchange of gases – oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmospheric air, blood and the cells within the tissues.

Together with the Cardiovascular System, the Respiratory System contributes to homeostasis by providing gas exchange (intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide). The Cardiovascular System, on the other hand, transports blood containing the gases between the lungs and body cells. Failure of either system will disrupt homeostasis by causing rapid death of cells from oxygen starvation and buildup of waste products.

Other functions of the Respiratory System:

·         Participates in regulating blood pH
·         Contains receptors for the sense of smell
·         Filters inspired air
·         Produces sound
·         Rids the body of some water and heat in exhaled air

Classification of the parts of the Respiratory System

According to Structure
1.   Upper Respiratory System - nose, pharynx and associated structures
2.   Lower Respiratory System - larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs

According to Function
1.   The Conducting Zone – consists of a series of interconnecting cavities and tubes outside and within the lungs. These include the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles. Their function is to filter, warm, and moisten air and conduct it into the lungs.
2.   The Respiratory Zone - consists of tissues within the lungs where gas exchange occurs. These include the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli. They are the main sites of gas exchange between air and blood.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
