Cheyne-Stroke Breathing and its Mechanism | Respiration | Humans | Biology

In this article we will discuss about the cheyne-stroke breathing in human beings and along with its mechanism. Cheyne-Stokes Breathing: In which the period of apnoea is followed by a phase of gradually rising ventilation followed by gradual fall and the cycle is repeated, each phase lasting about 30 seconds. Cheyne-Stokes breathing- sometimes occurs in normal children or adults during [...]

Asphyxia: Classification and Conditions | Respiration | Humans | Biology

In this article we will discuss about the classification and essential conditions of asphyxia. Improper aeration of blood, if continued for some time in an intact animal, produces a series of pathological manifestations and ultimately death. These manifestations are collectively called asphyxia. Classifications of Asphyxia: i. General: Such as, by occlusion of the trachea, pneumothorax, etc. ii. Local: As by [...]

Top 2 Processes Involved in Vocalisation | Larynges | Humans | Biology

Two separate processes are involved in vocalisation: 1. Phonation 2. Atriculation. Process # 1. Phonation: The whole process is dominated and co-ordinated by speech centre in the cerebral cortex, damage to which will lead to permanent aphasia. Phonation is due to vibration of vocal cords which are folds stretched along the lateral wall of the larynx between thyroid and arytenoid [...]
