Respiratory Physiology Part 1

Part one of a three part video discussing the physiology of respiration. The ultimate goal of respiration is to transport oxygen to the mitochondria of the cells. This involves getting oxygen into the lungs (ventilation), getting the oxygen into the blood (external respiration), transporting the oxygen through the blood (transport), moving the oxygen out of the blood into the tissue (internal respiration) and then using the oxygen to make the body's energy molecule, ATP (cellular respiration). Each step is discussed as well as some underlying principles. Lastly, the a brief introduction to how respiratory pathologies can be viewed by understanding the underlying steps is discussed.

Ephysema is a chronic obstructive disorder!!!!!!!! 6:42

@mawamisu Just to clarify, emphysema has both restrictive and obstructive components. The destruction of the bronchioles is obstructive. The desctruction of the alveoli is restrictive. I'm no respiratory therapist but I believe that many lung disorders are mixed, affecting both the alveoli and bronchioles. dj

Yea Dude! You speaking way too fast. slow down!

[OeLLerigz]

you sounded like you just woke up...

[tiareal]

i agree it is good but if he slowed down his talking maybe it would give us a chance to comprehend the information

[JayBee671]

dude, what?! slow down

[ohmymaha]

If you are focused on the information, its not fast at all. Well done,

[kamzok]

wtf hes not talking fast?

[sodr2]

LOL

[Madanodwons]

the people who say this guy is talking too fast need to forget lung physiology and try to learn English first!
