Breathing has a see-saw pattern as abdominal movements and diaphragm work out of unison
A lack of surfactant causes infant respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or
'Mucousy' babies usually have nasal mucous affecting their ability to breath which is often caused by:
Compensatory rise in the respiratory rate initiated by the respiratory centre, the rise aims to remove hypercarbia and prevent hypoxia
The most urgent need after delivery is the establishment of:
(Respiratory adaptation) Surfactant is made from complex:
Occurs in the nostrils (nares) when the body tries to attempt to minimise the effect of the airways resistance by maximising the diameter of the upper airways
(Respiratory adaptation) Negative intrathoracic pressure of up to ............ kPa (.......... cm of water) is exerted as the first breath is taken.

Poor ventilation suppresses surfactant secretion and the severity of:and respiratory muscle activity...
(Respiratory adaptation) The pressure is reduced with each breath the newborn takes, caused by ...................... . Until there is about ........... cm of water left.
(Respiratory adaptation) The change in breathing rhythm is caused by a combination of ......................... and ..................... stimuli. Notably, there is a fall in ......... level, a fall in .................... and a rise in .................. .
