The processes of cellular respiration and breathing are part of the same process. When you inhale, carbon dioxide is replaced by oxygen in your blood; this oxygen is required by cells to perform aerobic cellular respiration as opposed to anaerobic cellular respiration--a similar process that does not require oxygen.

Breathing

When you inhale, air is drawn into your lungs by the movement of your diaphragm and other breathing muscles. Air enters your lungs via your nose or mouth and down your windpipe to be divided into each lung by your trachea. As air enters the lung, it is channeled down ever smaller pathways, similar in shape to an upside-down tree. At the end of these pathways are tiny air sacs called alveoli. It is here that oxygen in your inhaled air is transferred into your blood while carbon dioxide, a byproduct of your cells breaking down nutrients, is excreted, replacing the oxygen. As you exhale, this carbon dioxide is expelled into the environment. This process is repeated in every breath you take.

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Oxygen drawn into your blood by your lungs is used in the process of aerobic cellular respiration, an "exergonic" process meaning it produces energy for your body. This energy is drawn from glucose in your cells and is released as a substance known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a form of energy that cells can use to perform their basic functions. In simple terms: glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide, water and ATP (energy).

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

The respiratory system is the manager of providing the oxygen that the body needs and to eliminate the carbon dioxide or carbonic gas that takes place in all the cells across the process called breathing. The breathing is an involuntary and automatic process, in which there is extracted the oxygen of the inspired air and the gases of waste are expelled by the exhaled air. The organs that form a part of the respiratory system are: nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm.

    In the process of respiration the following organs participate:

NOSE :It consists of two large cavities whose function is to allow the entry of air, which is moistened, filtered and heated to a certain temperature through structures called turbinates.

PHARINX:A muscular, membranous duct that helps air to flow into the lower airways.

EPIGLOTTIS :Lid that prevents food from entering the larynx and trachea when swallowing. It also marks the boundary between the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx.

LARINX :Duct whose main function is the filtration of inspired air. In addition, it allows the passage of air to the trachea and lungs and closes to not allow the passage of food during swallowing if the own has not desired and has the function of a vocal organ, ie produces the sound.

WINDPIPE :It provides an open pathway to the air inhaled and exhaled from the lungs.

BRONCHUS :It conducts air from the trachea to the bronchioles.

BRONCHIOLE :It conducts the air that goes from the bronchi through the bronchioles and ending in the alveoli.

SOCKET :Hematosis (Allows gas exchange, that is, inside the blood eliminates carbon dioxide and collects oxygen).

LUNGS :The function of the lungs is to perform the gas exchange with the blood, so the alveoli are in close contact with capillaries.

INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES :The main function of the respiratory muscles is to mobilize a volume of air that serves, after an appropriate gas exchange, to supply oxygen to different tissues.

DIAPHRAGM :Striated muscle separating the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. Intervenes in breathing, lowering the pressure inside the thoracic cavity and increasing the volume during inhalation and increasing the pressure and decreasing the volume during exhalation. This process is carried out, mainly, by the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm.

few days ago in the first floor it was a patient that said that:Hi doctor! I'm Lola Hernandez, I'm 36 years old  and I am slightly overweight . Last weekend, after a family meal, I experienced gradual abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant with irradiation to the back. After that I started to vomit and it become more intense so I went to the hospital, Floridablanca Hospital,where Murphy was detected positive. There was no fever and abdominal ultrasound revealed a distented gallbladder with thickening and hyperemia of its wall, lithiasis and dilated biliary tract. I really don't understand what I have so I need your help. I hope you can help me.

CHOLELITHIASIS

My pacient has cholelithiasis that involves the presence of gallstones, which are concretions that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped, hollow structure located under the liver and on the right side of the abdomen. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver and it is part of the biliary tract.

-The thing that causes the illness is her weight, she is overweight and this is one the biggest risk factors, overweight can raise the cholesterol level and also make it harder for the gallbladder to empty completely.

- The common symptoms of cholelithiasis are:

Adominal pain (typically localized in the upper quadrant of the abdomen).
Abdominal swelling, distention or bloating.
Abdominal tenderness.
Clay-colored stools.
Fever and chills.
Loss of appetite.
Nausea with or wihout vomiting.
Pain that radiates from the abdomen to the right shoulder or back.
Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice)
Abdominal swelling,distention or bloating.
High fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenteir)
Severe abdominal pain.

- Lola condition is very serious because she is overweight, she experienced gradual abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant with irradiation to the back, the pain continued with vomiting and became more intense so she went to the hospital where distented gallbladder was revealed  with thickening and hyperemia of its wall and dilated biliary tract. She does not has fever.

- If you have recurrent episodes of cholelithiasis, the most common treatment is surgery to remove the gallbladder. There are two methods: open cholecystectomy, the whole organ is removed through a single incision and laparoscopic technique , when the gallbladder is removed in pieces through several smaller incisions. The second one is the most used  because the gallbladder is not an essential organ.
Other treatments is: Medication to disolve gallstones, it takes a long time, and gallstones may recur.

- If the pacients who have cholelithiasis don't follow the treatment serious complications if gallstones lodge in the common bile duct, which is the large duct formed where the major gallbladder bile duct.

FOLDABLE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

That is a foldable  that you can do to improve in the standar of digestive system.I´ve you want to do it you only have to send my and email  almacanosaagenjo@gmail.com and i´ll give you all that you need to do it.If you find it a bit difficult you can read my last blog called digestive system in wich I explain all you need to do it.

Here are some photos of what does it look when you finish it:

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube inside the body , the gastrointestinal tract.It is made up of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. In addition to the alimentary canal, there are several important accessory organs that help your body to digest food...

FUNCTIONS OF THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS

Ingestion: food is crushed by the teeth and mixed with saliva.

Digestion: juice enzymes break down nutrients into simpler molecules.

Absorption: simple molecules pas trough  the walls of the tube and are transported through the blood.

Assimilation: cells use nutrients to obtain energy or make new molecules.

Defecation: undigested or non-absorbed sustances are removed by the anus.

Digestion begins in the mouth. 

The teeth crush the food

 and the secretions of the salivary 

glands moisten them and initiate

 their chemical decomposition into 

the food bolus. Then, the bolus

 crosses the pharynx, continues 

through the esophagus and reaches

 the stomach whose mucous 

secretes the potent gastric juice, in 

the stomach, the food is agitated to 

become in the chyme.At the exit of 

the stomach, the digestive tube is

 prolonged with the small intestine. 

The digestivetract continues through 

the largeintestine, Its final portion is

 therectum,which ends in the anus,

 through which the indigestible 

remains of food are evacuated.   

  NUTRITION
At the first floor of the
Florihospital we are working on nutrition so I will give you all the information you need to increase your level of knowledge about nutrition.

And i want to apologised for been so inactive last weeks but i have gone to

france becacause of a conference.
