What is Aerobika therapy?

The Aerobika® OPEP device is a hand held device that uses Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure or OPEP to help clear secretions from your airways. People who have chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, COPD and cystic fibrosis often produce an excessive amount of mucus.

How effective is Aerobika?

Results: For a patient after 1 year, the use of the Aerobika® device would save $694 in healthcare costs and produce 0.04 more in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in comparison with no positive expiratory pressure (PEP)/OPEP therapy.

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

As already stated, cellular respiration can be of two types: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic means “with air”. Therefore, aerobic respiration is the process of cellular respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy from food. This type of respiration is common in most of the plants and animals, including humans, birds and other mammals.

What is the purpose of aerobic respiration in plants?

Therefore, aerobic respiration is the process of cellular respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy from food. This type of respiration is common in most of the plants and animals, including humans, birds and other mammals. While breathing, we inhale air that contains oxygen and we exhale air rich in carbon dioxide.

Where does aerobic respiration take place in the body?

The process can be simply explained with the help of the following equation: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy. Aerobic respiration is a continuous process and it happens all the time inside the cells of animals and plants.

Why does anaerobic respiration take place in the cytoplasm?

The mitochondria’s system of membranes makes the process much more efficient by concentrating the chemical reactants of respiration together in one small space. In contrast, anaerobic respiration typically takes place in the cytoplasm. This is because most cells that exclusively carry out anaerobic respiration do not have specialized organelles.
