BS 2
Affected system
Symptoms presented by CB are cough, shortness of breath while using stairs. The patient also
smokes ppd which is recognized as the unhealthy habit and affects breathing patterns. All
these factors indicate that in case of CB respiratory system is affected.
Case study
The patient had hypertension, hyperglycemia which is controlled by the recommended drugs.
His vital signs showed that he has 130/78 blood pressure, respiratory rate 18, pulse oximetry,
and heart rate 88. For the last 2 months, he experienced coughing issues and developed
breathing issues while going upstairs.
Structure of the respiratory system
The respiratory system of the human body consists of every organ that takes part in
breathing such as the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and the lungs. the nose, larynx,
pharynx, trachea, and bronchi all function like a network of pipes by which the air is carried
out in the lungs. When an individual breath the air transports in the body through nose and
mouth. After that, it carries out to the throat by the larynx, and towards the trachea, earlier
entering the lungs (Sharma & Goodwin, 2006).
The trachea is the tube that connects the throat into the bronchi. The trachea is
separated into two bronchi or tubes. One bronchus attached to the left lung and the other one
is attached to the right lung. Inside the human lungs, all bronchi separate into smaller bronchi.
The branches of bronchi further divide into smaller ducts termed bronchiole which end in the
pulmonary alveolus. The pulmonary alveoli are tiny air sacs that are delineated through a
single layer membrane with the blood capillaries at a different end. All these structures work
to funnel outside air inside from the outside environment in the body. All these structures are
included in the upper airway (Bhutani, 2012).

BS 3
Human lungs are paired, and cone-shaped which is bigger than other different organs
of the respiratory system. They are put off inside the pleural cavity of the human thorax. The
lungs are enclosed by two different thin membranes named pleura, which discharge a fluid
that permits the lungs to transfer freely inside the pleural cavity. This is essential to the
human lungs can enlarge and contract throughout the breathing process. Their part is to take
O2 into the human body, which people need for the cells to live and work appropriately, and
to assist, an individual gets rid of CO2, which is a leftover product (Ionescu, 2013). Every
individual has two lungs in the body, a left-sided lung, and a right-sided lung. These are
separated up into ‘lobes’, or large sections of tissue detached by ‘fissures’ or separators. The
right-sided lung has three different lobes but the left-sided lung has only two lobes, as the
heart in the human body takes up some of the areas on the left side of the chest. The human
lungs can similarly be separated up into even smaller shares, named ‘bronchopulmonary
sections. These are pyramidal-shaped places which are also detached from each other through
membranes. There are around 10 of them in every lung. Each section obtains its own blood
source and air supply (Lalley, 2013).
Alterations in the normal functioning
Health issues associated with the respiratory system might affect any structure and
organ that takes part in breathing and normal functioning of the respiratory system, such as
nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles, lung tissues, and muscles in
the human chest cage (Bradley & Esformes, 2014). The respiratory system is the area of
highly large variety of diseases for three different reasons: one is then exposed to the
atmosphere and thus might be impacted by the organism inhaled with air, duct opt different
gases, the second one possess a big network of blood vessels by which complete output of the
human heart has to transport, which indicates that disorder they impact the small capillaries is
possible to impact the human lungs. The third reason is that it may be the area of sensitivity
