* The process begins with the oxidation of pyruvate, producing one CO2, and one acetyl-CoA.\n    * Acetyl-CoA reacts with the four carbon carboxylic acid, oxaloacetate--to form the six carbon carboxylic acid, citrate.\n    * Through a series of reactions citrate is converted back to oxaloacetate. This cycle produces 2 CO2 and consumes 3 NAD+, producing 3NADH and 3H+.\n    * It consumes 3 H2O and consumes one FAD, producing one FADH+.\n    * 1st turn end= 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2\n    * Since there are two molecules of Pyruvic acid to deal with, the cycle turns once more.\n    * The complete end result= 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2

It's a tracheotomy tube. The nursing staff should have shown your husband and you how to care for the trek area. Contact the doctor's office and see if they can tell you the proper cleaning methods or possibly give you instructions on paper.

My husband gets this all the time.  He was actually hospitalized at one point because they thought that he was having a heart attack.  They said it is something air getting between the lining of his lungs and his chest wall.   It is called pleurisy.   I would suggested wearing a mask when you go outside.  This way the cold air doesn't go right into your mouth.\n\nHere is something I found about Pleurisy on a website.  Hope this helps.\n\n:One of the most characteristic and easy to diagnose types of chest pain is pleurisy from inflammation or irritation of the parietal pleura, which is innervated by branches of nearby intercostal nerves and, over the center of each hemidiaphragm, by the phrenic nerves. In contrast, the visceral pleura is not innervated by nociceptive (pain) receptors, but owing to the contiguity of the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces, inflammatory processes in the periphery of the lungs often cause the pain of pleurisy by extension across the membranes.\n\nBecause most intrapulmonary disorders are apt to be localized within a single lung, pleuritic pain is usually sharply restricted to the ipsilateral chest wall or shoulder, cutaneous areas supplied by the involved intercostal or phrenic nerves, respectively. But perhaps the most singular feature of pleurisy is its unmistakable relationship to breathing movements. The pain may be variously described as “sharp,” “dull,” “achey,” sometimes “burning,” or simply a “catch,” but whatever its designation, it is worsened by taking a deep breath, and either coughing or sneezing causes intense distress. The aggravation by breathing causes patients to seek, find, and remain in the body position that most restricts movement of the affected region.

Walking pneumonia. It is a ticking bomb, treat it and get well or it will most likely get the better of you.

It works by prompting the patients lungs to start normal rythmic breathing on their own. It really is not the co2 that provides the help but the lung expansion is the reason it helps normal breathing on their own.

try a gravity bong....keep on smoking...you are keeping me in business as a respiratory therapist!! See you soon with a big tube down your throat....fool

1) The oxygen in the outside air enters the rodent's body through the twin nostrils.\n\n2) From there it enters the trachea through glottis.\n\n3) From the trachea or the wind pipe it goes to its twin branches called bronchi .\n\n4) From each bronchus it enters one of the twin lungs.\n\n5) The tiniest part of the lung is called alveolus (plural is alveoli). It is like an inflated balloon. The air in side this balloon is the fresh air  inhaled.\n Now imagine your ten fingers covering an inflated balloon from all the sides. That is how the blood capillaries cover the alveoli. These blood capillaries have extremely thin wall through the oxygen, which is at a higher concentration in the fresh air of the alveoli, diffuses in the blood capillary. It is immediately picked up by the hemoglobin in the Red blood cells forming oxyhemoglobin. It is the source of oxygen to the body. This is then taken to different parts of the body and given to them.\nAt the same time, CO2 collected from the body parts and brought to the alveoli by those vary capillaries diffuses in to the air of the alveoli because its concentration in the capillaries is greater. \nThe air in the alveoli is now stale air rich in CO2 and poor in O2. It is exhaled out.\nThus, the gaseous exchange can occur only on the surface of the alveoli. Their walls are as thin as the walls of a soap bubble, only that they are not fragile like soap bubble.

Hi various routes with examples: probably not comprehensive but I tried!!!\n\n\nOrally: common medication ie aspirin\n\nIntravenously: Many chemotheraoy regimes\n\nTransdermally some anti inflammatories/skin creams\n\nSubcutaneously Some vaccinations\n\nVia the lungs: salbutamol inhalers for asthma\n\nIntra muscularly ie some analgesics\n\nPer rectum some analgesics such as diclofenac\n\nIntra vesical instillation some chemotherapy regimes for bladder cancer are installed in the bladder\n\nEpidural: anaesthesia\n\nVia CNS: Methotrexate as chemotherapy for some tumours in brain, notably lymphomas\n\nIntra peritoneal instillation: some cancer chemotherapy.\n\nIntra arterially/or into the heart: very rarely adrenalin in an absolute emergency in cardiac arrest\n\nAny i've missed anyone????

Oxygen to carbon dioxide (breathing), food to energy, sleep to rejuvenation, or maybe that last one wasn't so good, try brain activity (thoughts) to actions (automatic brain commands that keep your heart and lungs functioning)
