respiratory test
review for the respiratory system test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the purpose of the respiratory system is to bring air and ___ into intimate contact so O2 and CO2 can be exchanged | blood |
| the accumulation of fluid in a cavity or matter that penetrates through vessel walls into adjoining tissue is ___? | exudate |
| the collection of air or gas in the pleural cavitycharacterized by pain in side and painful breathing and can lead to a collapsed lung is ___? | pneumothorax |
| common head cold characterized by acute inflammation of the nasal mucosa is ___? | coryza |
| openings betweent the nasal cavity and the nasopharyx are the ___? | posterior nares |
| body fluid in the pleural cavity is ___? | hemothorax |
| depression where ducts, nerves, or vessels enter or exit an organ is the ___? | hilum |
| the nose consists of 2 ___? | nasal cavities |
| nasal cavities are sepaerated by a vertical partition known as the ___? | nasal septum |
| mucous membranes of the nose are very ___, because they contain many blood vessels which bring warmth and moisture to the surface | vascular |
| the nasal cavities are constructed of bone covered by ___ membranes | mucous |
| nasal cavities lie ___ the roof of the mouth | above |
| respiration is defined as the taking in of O2, it's use in the ___, and the giving off of CO2 | tissues |
| external respiration is also called ___ respiration | pulmonary |
| ___ respiration occurs 14-20 times per minute | normal |
| breathing is controlled by the pons and the medulla oblongata, both are located in the ___ | brainstem |
| at the side walls are 3 projections known as nasal conchae or ___. these greatly increase the surface area over which the air must travel before it reaches the lungs | turbinates |
| what warms, moistens, and filters the air of impurities? | nose |
| cavities that are lined w/ciliated mucous membranes that open into the nasal cavity are___? | sinuses |
| these open into the nasopharynx and equalize the air pressure between the external and internal ear | eustachian tubes |
| this communicates indirectly with the lacrimal gland | naso-lacrimal duct |
| the pharynx is a muscular tube-like structure about 5 inches long which extends from the base of the skull to the ___? | esophagus |
| the pharynx lies ___ to the cervical vertebrae | anterior |
| the pharynx is composed of ___ lined with mucous membrane | muscle |
| pharynx serves as a passageway for both the respiratory and the ___tracts | digestive |
| the pharynx plays an important part in phonation, especially in producing what type of sounds? | vowel |
| the pharynx is also called the ___ | throat |
| the pharynx has 3 ___ | divisions |
| which division of the pharynx contains 2 sets of tonsils? | oropharynx |
| which portion of the pharynx lies behind the mouth and between the palate and the hyoid bone? | oropharynx |
| obstruction of the trachea for even a few minutes can cause death by ___ | asphyxiation |
| lower division of the pharynx | laryngopharynx |
| division of the pharynx that lies behind the nose and above the palate | nasopharynx |
| the larynx is also called the organ of ___? | voice |
| the larynx acts as a passageway for ___ between the pharynx and the trachea | air |
| the larynx lies at the upper end of the trachea, just below the ___ | pharynx |
| the ___ is shaped like a trangular box | larynx |
| the larynx consists of 9 pieces of ___ | cartilage |
| the ___lung is slightly heavier, larger, and shorter by 1" | right |
| each brochus enters the lung at the notch or depression on the medial surface called the ___ | hilum |
| lungs are the essential organs of ___ | respiration |
| lungs are cone-shaped and large enough to fill the ___portion of the thoracic cavity | pleural |
| lungs furnish a place where air can come in close enough contact with blood for ___ exchange to occur | gaseous |
| ___ pleura is a serous membrane which contains the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity; each side has it's own pleural lining | parietal |
| ___ pleura covers the outer surface of each lung | visceral |
| ___ space is the potential space formed by the visceral and parietal pleura lying adjacent to each other and contains pleural fluid | pleural |
| the space between the lungs is the ___ | mediastinum |
| the area occupied by the lungs is the ___ | pleural cavity |
| the area occupied by the heart is the ___ | pericardium |
| the domed shaped muscle involved in respiration is the ___ | diaphragm |
| the diaphragm is the primary muscle involved with ___ | breathing |
| the diaphragm has 3 openings; the aorta, the esophagus, and the inferior ___ | vena cava |
| ordiary respiration | eupnea |
| painful, difficult, labored breathing | dyspnea |
| cessation of breathing | apnea |
| increased rate and/or depth of respirations | hyperpnea |
| lack of or absence of O2 | anoxia |
| decreased amount of O2 reaching the body cells | hypoxia |
| increased CO2 and decreased O2 in the body as a result of some interference with respiration | asphyxia |
| alternating cycles of hyperpnea and apnea, often seen in critically ill of unconscious patients | Cheyne-Stokes |
