| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| uptake of essential nutrients, drugs into bloodstream | Absorption |
| GI tract made up of the stomach , small intestine, esophagus, mouth, colon, rectum | Alimentary tact |
| tiny air sac at end of bronchioles | Alveoli |
| pancreatic enzyme that help digest carbohydrates | Amylase |
| drug that block/suppress cough | Antitussive |
| opening at end of alimentary canal where solid waste matter leave body | Anus |
| inflammatory disorder of airways : causing, wheezing, coughing, breathlessness, chest tightness | Asthma |
| alkaline fluid produced in liver, aids in digestion/ absorption of fat and cholesterol | Bile |
| 2 large tubes carrying air from windpipe to lungs | Bronchi |
| tiny branch of air tubes in lungs | Bronchiole |
| condition where lining of bronchial airways become inflamed obstructing exhalation | Bronchitis |
| agent that relaxes smooth muscle of the bronchioles, increasing airway diameter; improving movement of gases in and out lungs | Bronchodilator |
| spasmodic contraction of smooth muscles of bronchioles | Bronchospasm |
| muscular rings that controls flow of food and stomach acid between stomach and esophagus | Cardiac sphincer |
| semi fluid mass of partially digested food and juices that moves from stomach to small intestines | Chyme |
| tiny hair like organisms that clears out harmful substances | Cilia |
| part of the GI tract; large intestine | Colon |
| chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; chronic lung disease impeding airflow, causing breathing difficulty EX: emphysema, bronchitis | COPD |
| discharge of feces from body | Defecation |
| muscle that contracts helping to breathe in and out | Diaphragm |
| dry powder inhaler; used to administer medication by taking a deep breath | DPI |
| first part of the small intestines | Duodenum |
| labored/ difficulty breathing; shortness of breathe | Dyspnea |
| irreversible lung disease caused by destruction of alveoli that allows air to accumulate in tissues and organs | Emphysema |
| biologic molecule that catalyze chemical reactions in the body | Enzyme |
| part of the upper GI system | Esophagus |
| inflammation in the esophagus | Epiglottis |
| elimination of waste matter | Excretion |
| agent that decrease thickness and stickiness of mucus, aids in helping coughing up mucus from lungs and airways | Expectorant |
| exhalation of breath | Expiration |
| extent which a drug is metabolized by liver before reaching target sites or systemic circulation | First pass effect |
| pear shaped organ located in upper right abdomen below liver; stores bile | Gall bladder |
| Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease; GI disease causing burning/ pain in chest and acid taste caused by backflow of stomach acid(heartburn) | GERD |
| time take for material to pass from mouth to anus(bowel transit time) | GI transit time |
| back flow of stomach acid from incompetent spincther | Heartburn |
| large bone forming each side of pelvis | Ilium |
| drawing of breathe, inhalation | Inspiration |
| process of taking food, drinks and other substances into body by absorbing or swallowing it | Ingestion |
| middle part of small intestines | Jejunum |
| long tube-like organ connected to small intestine at one end and anus at the other, also known as colon | Large intestine |
| area of throat containing voice cords, used for swallowing, talking, breathing | Larynx |
| pancreatic enzyme that helps digest fats | Lipase |
| organ that produces bile , removes toxins before reaching systemic circulation | Liver |
| ring of muscle acts as a valve at bottom of esophagus, connects to stomach | Lower esophageal sphinter |
| metered dose inhaler; delivers a fine spray to reach inner most part of lung | MDI |
| agent that destroys or dissolves mucus | Mucolytic |
| creates a mist of air flowing over a liquid | Nebulizer |
| glandular organ of GI system makes enzymes to help digest carbs, fats, proteins; produces hormones: insulin, glucagon to help maintain blood sugar levels in body | Pancreas |
| muscle contraction that moves fecal matter along colon | Peristalsis |
| enzyme made in stomach break down protein in food during digestion | Pepsin |
| muscle ring that controls food and stomach juices from stomach to small intestines | Pyloric sphincer |
| part of alimentary canal connecting to nose and throat | Pharynx |
| final portion of large instestine where waste is stored until passed through anus | Rectum |
| backflow of acid stomach contents through incompetent LES | Reflux |
| series of ridges produced by folding walls of a organ | Rugae |
| lubrication for food | Saliva |
