Importance of Respiratory System Animation

Respiratory system animation reveals the human airway, starting at the nostrils and ending at the lungs, showing respiratory muscles along the way.

Los Angeles, CA (prHWY.com) July 9, 2012 - Respiratory system animation reveals the human airway, starting at the nostrils and ending at the lungs, showing respiratory muscles along the way. The respiratory system enables gas exchange between the external environment and the human body. This exchange takes place in the alveolar region of the lungs. This system diffuses oxygen and carbon dioxide facilitating the exchange that ensures that blood is oxygenated and carbon dioxide is removed from the body. With respiratory system animation, it's possible to see this process from the inside - it's like taking a journey to the interior of your body.

The body's ventilation system is controlled by the autonomic nervous system--parts of the brain involved are--the brain stem, the medulla oblongata, and the pons. These interconnected brain cells coordinate respiratory movements, especially the expansion and contraction of the diaphragm which brings about inhaling and exhaling of air. The diaphragm works hand in hand with the external intercostals muscle. When you are in a resting state, the normal breathing rate falls between 10 and 18 times in a minute. However if one is engaging in very vigorous activity, this rate may increase up to 35 breaths per minute. Accessory muscles are normally called upon to support respiration when a person is facing respiration failure. The strap muscle of the neck also plays a very important role in this case.

Whereas inhalation is an active process, exhalation on the other hand is a very passive process. Forced exhalation must be supported by the abdominal and intercostals muscles. This process forces air to move out of the lungs. As long as the air pressure levels between the lungs and atmospheric pressure are not balancing, air will move out of the chest until the equilibrium is achieved. The elasticity of the lungs is what helps it recover from inhalation stretches. When you blow air into a balloon, it is a forced exhalation and is normally initiated by the abdominal muscle and intercostals muscles, they--generate pressure that forces air out off the body.

An important function of the respiratory system is to keep the acid-base of the body balanced. This process is known as homeostasis.

Respiratory system animation is also very crucial in visualizing the microanatomy of the lungs. By seeing what the lungs to, it helps in understanding how lungs work. Scientifically accurate medical animation makes is easy for physicians to see lung damage from smoking. These are just a few of the valuable benefits of watching this animation.
