Animation prep area

The following animations are designed to help the student become familiar with their subject by encouraging observation. Colour is used to focus attention on where emphasis is usually placed, with notes added where supporting detail may be useful.

(nb. this is a temp location for now until animation is developed further)

Doubtfuls (but still to check)

 

Respiratory animation

These animations are designed to help visualise "what's happening" when several interactive movements are taking place, often all at once and in many cases hidden from sight.

The active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT) is a three-stage process for clearing sputum whilst Breathing dynamics shows how rib movement creates the conditions for breathing and breathing and gas transfer introduces the alveoli

 

Shoulder rotation

The exercise: gentle shoulder rotation to helps stiffness

Diffusion principle (gas transfer)

Gas transfer: because the alveoli are filled with gas, when the lungs are expanded through inhalation, oxygen (O2) being light is pressurised through the porous capillary walls into the blood cells, which gas difference also releases the heavier carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood cells back into the alveoli

 

Walking gait

The exercise: normal walk cycle seen from three quarter angles (back and fore)

Alveoli action

About the movements: note how the diaphragm flattens as the ribs expand up and outwards. it is this action that pulls oxygen into the lungs. Also worth noting how each rib articulates to the spine (via two facets to the vertebra above and below it)

 

Alveoli action


  • 1: oxygen pulled in to blood cells

  • 2: carbon dioxide released by blood cells

About the action: as the dimensions of the alveoli are expanded, oxygen is pulled in by the gas changing its levels, being lighter. The oxgen flows into the capillaries to be absorbed by the haemoglobin in the passing blood cells. Conversely, as the alveoli contract, the blood cells release their heavy carbon dioxide out into the alveoli.

 

Heart action

About the action: (needs extrapolation still!)

All four sections actually pump at the same time, and are separated here only to see how left and right sections work individually! (1) the four main sections of the heart of two atriums and ventricles and their four valves (2) blood coming into the heart from the body is pumped from the right atrium and ventricle out into the lungs, whilst (3) blood returning from the lungs is pumped through left atrium and ventricle out into the body
