Artificial respiration and resuscitation methods are life-saving techniques used to restore or maintain breathing and circulation in individuals experiencing respiratory or cardiac arrest. These techniques are crucial for providing immediate assistance until advanced medical care can be administered. 1. Artificial Respiration: Artificial respiration, also known as assisted ventilation, involves providing …

Transport of respiratory gases
The transport of respiratory gases refers to the movement of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the lungs and the tissues via the bloodstream. This process is essential for cellular respiration, where O2 is delivered to tissues for energy production, and CO2, a waste product of metabolism, is removed …
Lung volumes and capacities
Lung volumes and capacities refer to the different measurements used to describe the amount of air in the respiratory system at various stages of the breathing cycle. These measurements provide valuable information about lung function and respiratory mechanics. Here’s a detailed note on lung volumes and capacities: 1. Lung Volumes: …
Regulation of Respiration
The regulation of respiration is a complex process involving multiple factors and mechanisms that ensure the body maintains appropriate levels of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the bloodstream. Respiration, the process of breathing, is regulated by various neural, chemical, and mechanical factors to maintain adequate gas exchange and …
Mechanism of Respiration
Respiration is the process by which organisms exchange gases with their environment, primarily involving the intake of oxygen (O2) and the release of carbon dioxide (CO2). In humans, respiration consists of two main processes: external respiration, which occurs in the lungs, and internal respiration, which occurs at the cellular level …
Respiratory System: Anatomy and Function
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the body and the external environment. It consists of the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract. The upper respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx, while the lower respiratory …
Energetics: Formation and Role of ATP, Creatine Phosphate, and BMR
Energetics refers to the study of energy transformation, utilization, and exchange within biological systems. It encompasses the processes by which organisms acquire, store, and expend energy to maintain vital functions, perform work, and sustain life processes. In biological contexts, energetics encompasses various metabolic pathways, energy transduction mechanisms, and regulatory processes …

The official exam dates for GPAT 2024 have been announced on the NBEMS website – natboard.edu.in. Scheduled for June 8, 2024, the GPAT exam requires …
Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract
Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the structure and function of the digestive system. These disorders can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus, as well as associated organs such …
Digestion and Absorption of Nutrients
Digestion: Digestion is the process by which food is broken down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. It occurs in several stages, primarily within the gastrointestinal tract, involving mechanical and chemical processes. 1. Mechanical Digestion: Mechanical digestion involves the physical breakdown of food into …
