This system could be comprised of or negatively affected in many ways during the various stages of life. The first stages begin between birth and infancy when the respiratory system is small, but once the first breath is inhaled the lungs expand rapidly. The shape of the infants chest changes gradually from a round shape at birth to one that is more or less flattened as seen in adulthood (Yunxaio, 2006). Following that, the respiratory system of children and adolescents can be further compromised by external factors such as second hand smoke. If there is a family member who smokes around the family, this could also lead to asthma which makes breathing difficult and causes attacks of coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest, and shortness of breath. Asthma symptoms occur when the lining of the air passages swell and the muscles surrounding the airways tighten (Baird, 2010). Finally, during adulthood the respiratory system can be negatively affected in many ways like directly smoking cigarettes as well as acquiring over age diseases such as mesothelioma (asbestos-related disease) which is caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, which was commonly used in construction starting in the 1970’s or emphysema which is the most common cause of death from respiratory disease in the United States, and is the fourth most common cause of death overall. There are over 1.8 million Americans with the disease, which ranks fifteenth among chronic conditions that cause limitations of activity. Smoking usually causes the disease, but a small number of cases are caused by an inherited defect (Swartout, 2002).
In conclusion, this is how the respiratory system functions normally day-by-day as well as how it keeps homeostasis with its contributing factors. Also, there are several ways in which the respiratory system can enhance or promote health and wellness as described in such ways as activities of daily living and other areas of occupation. The respiratory system can affect performance skills have also been described in the above passages through examples that apply to our everyday lives. And finally research was provided on how the respiratory system can negatively affect us throughout our lifespan from conception to death.
