There are two parts to the respiratory system:

Respiratory upper and lower. As a result, air enters the nose and
then flows to the pharynx. The air then flows via the
System larynx and into the trachea. Finally, oxygen reaches
the lungs, allowing for gas exchange.

 FACTORS Affecting Respiratory Function

AGE
As age changes, it can affect
one's respiratory system.
Moreover, development
influences the respiratory
function. also, changes such
as surgery, procedures and
stress contribute to the
system's function.
ENVIRONMENT
Altitude, heat, cold, and air
pollution affect
oxygenation.
High altitude means a low
oxygen level. exposure to
air pollution can cause
complications in the lungs.

STRESS LIFESTYLE MEDICATIONS

Oxygenation is affected by
stress and stressors. Stress
causes people to
hyperventilate. When
stress persists, it can be
harmful to one's health,
raising the risk of
cardiovascular disease.
People who exercise or are
active tend to have a higher
supply of oxygen in their
bodies because of the rate
and depth of their breathing
while sedentary people are
less able to respond to
respiratory problems.
Medication can cause a
reduction in the rate and
depth of breathing. Due to
the increased risk of
respiratory depression in
older patients, lower
dosages of medication are
frequently required.
