AGING AND THE PULMONARY SYSTEM Most knowledge about pulmonary structure and function is based on norms for the middle years. Less is known about structure and function in the very young (see Chapter 36) and older adults, but a few normal physiologic (developmental and degenerative) changes are known to occur from birth to old age. An understanding of these changes is needed to provide appropriate care and to differentiate between normal alterations and disease. Normal alterations include: (...

Mod 6 Pulmonary Disorders & Pain 1. Discuss the aging related changes in pulmonary structure and physiology (Pages 1244- 1245). ● Aging affects the mechanical aspects of ventilation by decreasing chest wall compliance & elastic recoil of the lungs. Changes in these elastic properties reduce ventilatory reserve. ● Aging causes the PaO2 to decrease but does not affect the PaCO2. ● Less is known about structure & function in the very young & older adults, but few normal physiological...

Study Guide Module 1 1. Differentiate genotype and phenotype. Are there any situations where a person’s genotype and phenotype are the same?(Beery & Workman, p.19-20; Pathophysiology, p. 135; 151) Genotype- the exact gene allele composition a person has for a specific single-gene trait is the person’s GENOTYPE for that trait. The composition of genes at a given locus. (Has the Brown hair gene). (having the PKU gene). Phenotype- is the person’s observed expression of any given single...

pathophysiology 1. Explain the role of normal microbiome as part of the innate protection against pathogenic microorganisms. (p. 300; p. 194) 1. Normal microbiome is the resident microorganisms found in different parts of the body, including the skin, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and genital tract. 1. Example is the gut is provided with nutrients and it makes enzymes that help break down food. 2. Colon microorganisms contribute to innate protection by competing with ...
