    Study Notes

    Respiratory System

    • The primary function of the alveoli is gas exchange, where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is removed.

    Muscles Involved in Respiration

    • The diaphragm and intercostal muscles are involved in inspiration, contracting to expand the chest cavity and draw air into the lungs.
    • During respiratory distress or failure, accessory muscles involved in respiration include the sternocleidomastoid, scalenae, and pectoralis minor.

    Lung Function

    • The main function of the lung is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.

    Pressure Gradients

    • When the pressure of the lung is greater than the atmospheric pressure, air is expelled from the lungs.

    Institutional Affiliations

    • The Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health is affiliated with McGill University.
    • The Wellcome Centre for Infectious Diseases Research in Africa is located at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
    • The Montreal Chest Institute is associated with the Department of Medicine at McGill University.
    • The Department of Medicine and Wellcome Centre for Infectious Diseases Research in Africa are associated with the University of Cape Town.
