ch 11 respiratory
respiratory system
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| oxygen inhaled into the lungs and carbon dioxide exhaled | external respiration |
| inhaled oxygen circulates through the lungs and body | internal respiration |
| hollow areas within the skull cavity that connect with the nose | paranasal sinuses |
| airway that connects the mouth and nose with the larynx, also known as the throat | pharynx |
| connects the pharynx with the trachea, also known as the voice box | larynx |
| connects to the bronchi in the chest, also known as the windpipe | trachea |
| two tubes that branch off the trachea to each lung | bronchi |
| smallest branches of the bronchi | bronchioles |
| air sacs at the end of bronchioles that allow for gas exchange | aveoli |
| double lined membrane that lines the lungs | pleura |
| space between the pleural membranes | pleural cavity |
| small flap of cartilage that covers the larynx during swallowing to prevent food from going into the trachea | epiglottis |
| muscular partition that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity; aids with respiration | diaphragm |
| diaphragm contracts and chest cavity enlarges air is drawn into the lungs | inspiration;inhalation |
| diaphragm relaxes and air if forced out of the lungs | expiration;exhalation |
| process of listening to sounds within the body using a stethoscope | auscultation |
| without breathing | apnea |
| abnormally slow breathing | bradypnea |
| blueish discoloration of the skin | cyanosis |
| difficulty breathing | dyspnea |
| nosebleed | epistaxis |
| act of spitting out saliva or mucous | expectoration |
| coughing up blood | hemoptysis |
| insufficient oxygen in the blood | hypoxemia |
| decreased oxygen | hypoxia |
| patient breathes more comfortably while sitting or standing | orthopnea |
| friction rub that is able to be heard due to inflammation of the pleural cavity | pleural rub |
| watery discharge from the nose | rhinorrhea |
| harsh high pitched sound usually heard with the croup | stridor |
| rapid breathing | tachypnea |
| viral childhood disease of the upper airway | croup |
| inflammation of the larynx | laryngitis |
| whooping cough | pertussis |
| inflammation of the pharynx; sorethroat | pharyngitis |
| inflammation of the sinus | sinusitis |
| difficulty breathing caused by swelling of the bronchial tubes | asthma |
| chronic pulmonary disease that results in damage to the alveoli resulting in decreased elasticity of the lungs | emphysema |
| flu | influenza |
| accumulation of fluid in the pleural space | pleural effusion |
| inflammation of the visceral and parietal pleura | pleurisy |
| inflammation of the lungs caused by bacteria or virus | pneumonia |
| collection of air in the pleural cavity resulting in a collapsed lung | pneumothorax |
| abnormal collection of fluid in the lungs; most commonly caused by congestive heart failure | pulmonary edema |
| obstruction of a pulmonary artery due to a thrombus | pulmonary embolism |
| examination of the bronchi using a lighted scope | bronchoscopy |
| test done to measure patients breathing capacity | pulmonary function test |
| needle inserted into the pleural space to collect fluid for testing | thoracentesis |
| surgical removal of the palatine tonsils | tonsillectomy |
| disease characterized by chronic bronchitis and emphysema | COPD; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease |
| common cold | coryza |
| deep gasping respirations that occurs during diabetic acidosis | kussmaul respiration |
| inflammation of the membranes of the bronchial tubes | bronchitis |
| pus in the pleural cavity | empyema |
| unexpected, unexplained death of a normal healthy infant | SIDS ( sudden infant death syndrome) |
