FLOW VS Slope in Ventilation

🔑 Take-home
✅️Flow is quantity
✅️Slope is speed of acceleration
✅️Both affect PIP, but in different ways

🫁In asthma, slow both down

100,000 KM of You - Your circulatory system is a relentless engine of motion, driving life through over 100,000 kilometers of vessels with every heartbeat.

Inside a Real Human Heart: The 4-Chamber Powerhouse 🫀💪 Check out this real human heart! Let's break down its incredible anatomy and how it pumps blood through your entire body. The 4 Chambers 🔢 Your heart has 4 chambers: 2 atrial chambers (right & left atrium) 2 ventricular chambers (right & left ventricle) Right Side: Deoxygenated Blood 🔵 The right atrium gathers deoxygenated blood returning from body tissues → passes through the tricuspid valve → into the right ventricle (see the probe!) → pumps blood through the pulmonary trunk to the lungs. You breathe out CO₂, breathe in O₂, and boom—oxygenated blood! 💨 Left Side: Oxygenated Blood 🔴 Oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium → moves into the left ventricle → pumps into that garden-hose-sized artery called the aorta! Just look at how MASSIVE the aorta is! Incredible! 🤯 The Size Difference 📏 Notice the muscular wall thickness: Right ventricle = Thinner wall (only pumps blood "next door" to the lungs) Left ventricle = MUCH thicker wall (has to pump blood to the ENTIRE BODY!) The left ventricle needs serious muscle power to send blood from your head to your toes—that's why it's built so much stronger! 💪 Want to learn more?

Left Ventricular View | Mitral & Aortic Valves in Motion 💓 - - - - Experience a rare internal look inside the left ventricle as the mitral and aortic valves work in perfect coordination. This close-up view reveals how the valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, and ventricular walls synchronize with every heartbeat to maintain forward blood flow and generate the strongest pressure in the human body. A clear demonstration of the precision and power that keep the heart pumping efficiently with every cycle. 💓. A rare close-up inside the left ventricle, showing the mitral valve and its chordae firing with every beat. Pure cardiac engineering. Watch the left ventricle from the inside as the mitral valve snaps open and shuts with perfect precision. The heart’s strongest pump in action. A detailed view of the mitral valve, chordae tendineae, and the powerful left ventricle pushing life forward with every contraction. Anatomy from the inside: the mitral valve and its chordae working in perfect sync inside the left ventricle. Real structure, real force. Step inside the left ventricle and witness the mitral valve mechanics that keep blood flowing one way—no noise, just precision. . . #pulmonaryhypertension #heartanatomy #3danimation #cardiology #fblifestyle #anatomy #heart #cardio #meded #education #aorticvalve #smartdoctor1 #medicina #pregnant #pregnancy
