Short-term high-frequency nasal ventilation (HFNV) of preterm neonates provides acceptable gas exchange compared to endotracheal intubation and intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV). Whether ...
We need to get oxygen from the air into the blood, and we need to remove waste carbon dioxide from the blood into the air. Moving gases like this is called gas exchange. As the blood moves through the ...
We explore the physical and structural challenges that face gas exchange surfaces in vertebrates and insects, by focusing on the role of the surfactant system. Pulmonary surfactant is a complex ...
Aerobic respiration needs oxygen, and it produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. The human respiratory system contains the organs that allow us to get the oxygen we need and to remove the waste ...
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the human body. This system also helps remove metabolic waste products and keep pH levels in check. The major ...
The morphometrics of the respiratory system, voluntary emersion behaviour, and gas exchange during immersion and emersion were examined in the amphibious, intertidal crab Hemigrapsus nudus. The area ...
