Anna’s out of breath
  1. Anatomy of the mediastinum
    1. Physiology of the respiratory system
      1. Lung Volumes and Capacities
        1. Inspiration and Expiration
        2. Cough
          1. Types
            1. -Dry Cough -Croup Cough -Wet Cough -Whooping Cough
            2. Mechanism
              1. The cough reflex has 5 components: 1) cough receptors 2) afferent nerves 3) coughhh center 4) efferent nerves 5) effector muscles
                1. Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract, creating a negative pressure around the lung. Air rushes into the lungs in order to equalise the pressure.
              2. Respiratory causes of dyspnea
                1. Acute
                  1. asthma attack, pneumothorax, pneumonia, pneumonia, allergic reaction
                  2. Chronic

                                    1. Chronic lung disease characterized by permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of their walls but without obvious fibrosis
                                    2. Asthma
                                      1. Chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder characterized by episodic reversible bronchospasm
                                        1. Extrinsic
