Whenever fine dust, yellow dust, or respiratory illnesses make the news, I think about how breathing is essential to human survival. I hoped this book would explain the respiratory system clearly. The bronchial lining has a structure that removes foreign matter such as dust and bacteria, but particles that reach the respiratory bronchioles are difficult to remove and can cause illnesses such as pneumonia. (p. 39) Irritation from a foreign object in the nasal cavity is relayed to the medulla,
Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and carries it to cells throughout the body; it then carries the carbon dioxide collected from cells back to the lungs to be released. Blood is the fluid that flows through blood vessels and accounts for about 8% of body weight. (-16-) The bronchi are the passages that branch from the trachea into the two lungs and extend to their entrances. They divide into two branches repeatedly, becoming narrower, until alveoli are attached at the ends after 23 divisions.
After COVID, I think many people have become more interested in respiratory illnesses and their care. Before COVID, I didn't wear a mask just because fine dust made the air quality poor, but these days I warn my children and make them wear masks when we go somewhere crowded or fine dust is severe. We all know respiratory infections can worsen very quickly compared with other illnesses, so I think we have become more sensitive about respiratory health. My father's side of the family also has
One series from Seongandang that I've been keeping an eye on is the Illustrated Guide to the Human Body. I liked The Structure of the Kidneys and Urinary System, so I also read The Basics of Physiology and The Basics of Nutrition, and they were helpful. The necessary information is well organized with illustrations, so it's good to read from the beginning or look up a topic you need. My children get rhinitis symptoms whenever the seasons change, so I thought I should study the respiratory
The human body is a wonderfully mysterious subject. I have not studied medicine or worked in healthcare, but I am curious about the body and enjoy exploring it. That is why I read this volume about the respiratory system in the Illustrated Guide to the Human Body. This is not my first Seongandang book; I have greatly enjoyed the other books in the series, too. This volume gives me a chance to learn more deeply about breathing, one of the most important things we do to live. I tell my child that
I've been receiving personal training every week for more than two years. Building muscle and losing weight are important reasons to work out, but my trainer also emphasizes body balance, understanding muscle movement, and breathing. I recently started jogging, and my trainer taught me a four-count breathing method, saying breathing matters for jogging, too. The respiratory organs handle gas exchange—swapping oxygen and carbon dioxide—but also play important roles in bodily defense and
As spring arrives, the battle with fine-particle pollution feels closer than ever! Fine dust and yellow dust are so harmful to the respiratory system, so let's learn about breathing with this illustrated human-body book. Respiration is how living things take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The respiratory system's main role is gas exchange, and breathing requires circulation through the heart and blood vessels. The nose is the entrance to the respiratory system, and the space inside it is
I have a child with rhinitis, so I pay close attention to respiratory health. The air often gets bad, and all kinds of infectious diseases are going around, so as a mother raising a child I worry a lot. That's why this book, which is easy for general readers to understand and enjoyable to read with its color illustrations, has been useful to me: The Respiratory System, from the Illustrated Guide to the Human Body series. In fact, we know so little about our own bodies—how the respiratory system
Last week, while I was suffering through miserable days with a severe cold, the book The Respiratory System arrived from Seongandang Publishing. It's the nineteenth volume in the Illustrated Guide to the Human Body series, which has already covered many organs and fields, including the brain, nerves, nutrition, immunology, digestion, and circulation. More volumes are planned, so healthcare workers, sports professionals, and general readers interested in the body may find it useful to pick up
Someone in my family has weak bronchi, so I have consistently looked for books about breathing. I used to catch a cold maybe once a year and was confident my respiratory system was strong. Then, after getting COVID at the end of the year before last, I spent the following year catching colds every month with severe coughing. That made me wish for a respiratory textbook I could revisit often for myself and my whole family, so I was glad when the respiratory volume in the Illustrated Guide to the
Akihiko Genma: Structure of the respiratory system
The global toll of COVID-19 may have left you with lung damage, fatigue, or loss of taste and smell. Our respiratory systems also suffer constantly from yellow dust and fine-particle pollution. The respiratory system is essential to life: it takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, supplying oxygen to cells and removing the carbon dioxide produced by metabolism. Air enters through the nose and mouth, travels through the trachea, and reaches the lungs for gas exchange. The system also protects the body from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Because it is exposed to the outside world and air is constantly moving through it, respiratory symptoms and illnesses can develop. These can affect the nose and mouth, bronchi, lungs, and other parts of the respiratory system. This book explains the respiratory system's basic structure and functions, then uses illustrations to make the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of flu, COVID-19, pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, sleep apnea, and other conditions easy to understand. It also organizes related knowledge into columns by topic. This book should be a useful reference for a wide range of healthcare professionals.
