Excerpt

Respiration is a physiological process involving gaseous exchange between the body and the external environment. A carefully balanced system exists, encompassing various body organs that work harmoniously to facilitate respiration. This intricate network ensures the delivery of an adequate amount of oxygen to body tissues for energy production and the efficient removal of carbon dioxide. Within the central nervous system, specialized respiratory centers integrate neural and chemical input from diverse receptors. These centers then signal the respiratory muscles, ensuring the upper airways remain patent and driving thoracic movements to regulate ventilation level. Additionally, this process plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance.

Although respiration occurs effortlessly and seamlessly, it is susceptible to various abnormalities challenging its efficiency. This activity will explore different respiratory disorders, delving into their pathophysiology and clinical manifestations.
