Study Notes

Body Cavities and Muscles

Abdominal Cavity: Houses digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems; separated from thoracic cavity by diaphragm.
Thoracic Cavity: Contains the lungs and heart; partially surrounded by ribs; separated from abdominal cavity by diaphragm.
Diaphragm: Muscle forming the bottom wall of thoracic cavity; plays a pivotal role in ventilation by contracting and relaxing to facilitate breathing.

Respiratory Anatomy

Alveoli: Terminal air sacs responsible for gas exchange in lungs.
Lungs: Organ that facilitates air intake and oxygen transfer to red blood cells.
Lobes of the Lungs: Five lobes total; right lung has three (upper, middle, lower) and left lung has two (upper, lower).
Bronchi: Two major airways branching from the trachea into lungs.
Bronchioles: Smaller airways leading from bronchi to alveoli.

Breathing Mechanism

Inhalation: Caused by contraction of the diaphragm, creating negative pressure that draws air into the lungs.
Exhalation: Triggered by relaxation of the diaphragm, expelling air from the lungs.

Respiratory Health

Symptoms of Asthma: Includes coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
Physiological Cause of Asthma: Involves swelling and constriction of bronchioles' inner lining.
Measurement of Respiratory Health: Evaluated through peak flow tests and spirometry.

Pharmacology Basics

Pharmacology: Study of drugs and their effects on living systems.
Dosage: Specific amount of drug needed to achieve desired effects.
Prescription Abbreviations: Specific terms indicating how often, when, and how much medication to take, including modes of administration.

Drug Administration Routes

Enteral Routes: Include oral (by mouth), sublingual (under the tongue), and buccal (between gums and cheeks).
Parenteral Routes: Include intradermal (just under the skin), subcutaneous (under the skin in upper body areas), and intramuscular (into muscle tissues).

Resume Components

Resumes must be concise, targeted to specific jobs, and include education, qualifications, and relevant experiences.
