RESPIRATORY
finals respiratory system
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Occurs between the outside atmosphere and the blood | External gas exchange |
| Occurs between the blood and the tissues | Internal gas exchange |
| The upper respiratory passage ways consist of? | Nose and Pharynx |
| Microscopic hair-like projections from the cells that line the nasal passageways | Cilia |
| Material that is eliminated from the respiratory tract by coughing or clearing the throat | Sputum |
| Receptors for the sense of smell are located within body side projections of the nasal | Turbinate Bones |
| Is the superior portion located behind the nasal cavity | Nasopharynx |
| Is the middle portion located behind the mouth | Oropharynx |
| Is the Inferior portion located behind the larynx, from the Orophrarynx down to the Larynx | Laryngopharynx |
| Are on either side of the soft palate in the Oropharynx | Palatine Tonsils |
| Is in the Nasopharynx | Pharyngeal Tonsil |
| Commonly known as Adenoids | Pharyngeal Tonsil |
| A bacterial infection of the tonsils; a common childhood illness | Tonsilitis |
| It contains the vocal fold or cords | Voice Box |
| It conducts air into the bronchial system toward the lungs | Larynx |
| A small leaf-shaped cartilage at the top of the larynx | Epiglottis |
| The opening between the vocal folds | Glottis |
| It carries air into the microscopic air sacs, the alveoli, thorugh which gases are exchanged between the lungs and the blood | Bronchioles |
| Is attached to the wall of the thoracic cavity | Parietal Pleura |
| Is attached to the surface of the lungs | Visceral Pleura |
| A fluid-filled space between the parietal and visceral | Pleural Space |
| The air is moved into and out of the lungs by the process of breathing | Pulmonary Ventilation |
| The act of breathing out or expelling air from the lungs | Expiration |
| The act of drawing air into the lungs | Inspiration |
| The space between the lungs together with the organs contained in this space | Mediastanum |
| The nerve that activates the diaphragm | Phrenic nerve |
| -oxia | level of oxygen |
| -capnia | level of carbon diox |
| -phonia | voice |
| phren/o | diaphragm |
| phrenic/o | phrenic nerve |
| pleur/o | pleura |
| If too much carbon dioxide is exhaled by hyperventilation, the blood tends to become to alkaline | Alkalosis |
| If too little carbon dioxide id exhaled as a result of hypoventilation, the blood become too acidic | Acidosis |
| Most common cause of pneumonia | Streotococcus pneumoniae |
| Pneumonia, especially in debillated person | Haemophilus influenzae |
| Pneumonia in elderly and debillatated patients | Klebsiella pneumoniae |
| Mild pneumonia, usually in young adults and children | Mycoplasma pneumoniae |
| Major cause of common cold | Rhinoviruses |
| Refers to any inflammatory disease of the lungs | Pneumonia |
| Is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children worldwide | Respiratory Syncytial Virus |
| Is the most common fatal hereditary disease among white children | Cystic Fibrosis |
| Amount of air breathed into or out of the lungs in quiet, relaxed breathing | Tidal Volume |
| Amount of air that can be exhaled after normal exhalation | Expiratory Reserve Volume |
| Amount of air remaining in the lungs after normal exhalation | Functional Residual Capacity |
| Specialize in evaluating and treating breathing disorders | Respiratory Therapists |
| shortness of breath; painful or difficult breathing | Dyspnea |
| decreased amount of oxygen in the tissues | Hypoxia |
| decreased carbon dioxide in the tissues | Hypocapnia |
| loss of voice | Aphonia |
| within the nose | Intranasal |
| spasm of the larynx | Laryngospasm |
| instrument used to incise the trachea | Tracheotome |
| dilation of the bronchioles | Bronchiolectasis |
| partial excision of the phrenic nerve | Phrenicectomy |
| inflammation of the lung | Pneumonitis |
| presence of air in the thorax | Pneumothorax |
| instrument for measuring breathing volume | Spirometer |
