Respiratory Phys

QuestionAnswer
Gentle compression with rapid contractions of the upper extremities during client expirations to loosen phlegm vibration
wide, rhythmic hand movements to the chest wall or upper back shaking
client positioning uses gravity to assist with drainage postural drainage
more vigorous form of vibration with overpressure to thoracic area rib springing
loosen phlegm by striking chest and back area rhythmically with cupped hands cupping
gas exchange between the alveoli and the blood happens by passive transport
this oily substance reduces surface tension in the lungs and make it easier to breath surfactant
pulmonary ventilation is commonly referred to as breathing
the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the capillaries is directly driven by the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood false
what is the specific location of internal respiration tissue cells
when the diaphragm contracts, the total thoracic volume increases
inspiration is both voluntary and involuntary
normal expiration occurs by relaxation of inspiration muscles
dead space volume air in any respiratory passages that cannot participate in gas exchange
expiratory reserve volume amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal exhalation
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) The extra volume of air that can be inspired with maximal effort after reaching the end of a normal, quiet inspiration.
inspiratory capacity (IC) amount of air that can be inspired from the end-expiratory level
residual volume (RV) the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful expiration
Tidal Volume (Vt) Volume of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing
Vital Capacity (VC) Max volume of exhalation after max inhalation
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) total volume of air in respiratory system
Chemoreceptors in the respiratory system sense blood levels of H2, O2, CO2
Where is the home of respiratory regulator center medulla and pons
What area of the brain regulates emotional stimulus and response Hypothalamus and limbic system
What can sense muscle and joint movements proprioceptors
Spinal cord reflexes automatic response to rapid skin temperature change
Age related changes to the musculoskeletal system affecting the ease of breathing lung function decreases, elastic recoil of lungs decrease, decrease of total surface area (alveoli increase in size and in number, ribs stiffen
Age related changes which make the elderly more prone to respiratory disease smoking, obesity, immobility, decrease immunity in lungs, decreased ability to clear lungs due to impaired coughing ability
