CPC-Respiratory
CPC Study - Respiratory System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the respiratory system's primary function? | supplies oxygen to body and helps clean body of waste (carbon dioxide) |
| Another name for turbinates: | conchae |
| The pharynx contains: | nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryingopharynx |
| The upper respiratory tract consists of: | nose, sinuses, turbinates, pharynx, larynx |
| The lower respiratory tract consists of: | trachea, segmental bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar ducts, lungs |
| The 4 pairs of sinuses: | frontal, ethmoid, maxillary, sphenoid |
| 3 divisions of conchae: | inferior, middle, superior |
| Where are the adenoids found? | nasopharynx |
| Where are the tonsils found? | oropharynx |
| What does the larynx contain? | cartilages of laryinx, thyroid, epiglottis, arytenoid |
| Alveoli | sacs of simple squamous cells found at the ends of alveolar ducts |
| These are the body's primary gas-exchange units: | alveolar ducts |
| Hilium | medial survade of lung where pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins, nerves, lymphatics, bronchial tubes enter and exit |
| How many lobes does each lung contain? | Left contains 2, right contains 3 |
| Ablation | removal or destruction by cutting, chemicals or electrocautery |
| Apnea | cessation of breathing |
| Asphyxia | lack of oxygen |
| Asthma | shortness of breath caused by contraction of bronchi |
| Atelectasis | incomplete expansion of lung; collapse |
| Auscultation | listening to sounds |
| Bacillus | rod0-shaped bacterium |
| Cordectomy | surgical removal of vocal cords |
| Croup | acute viral infection (obstruction of larynx), stridor |
| Cyanosis | blueish discoloration |
| Dysphonia | speech impairment |
| Dyspnea | difficulty breathing |
| Emphysema | loss of elasticity and enlargement of alveoli |
| Epistaxis | nose bleed |
| Glottis | true vocal cords |
| Hemoptysis | bloody sputum |
| This is a congenital abnormality of connective tissue between vocal cords: | laryngeal web |
| Lavage | washing out |
| Nasal Button | synthetic circular disc used to cover a hole in the nasal septum |
| Orthopnea | difficulty breathing, relieved by assuming an upright position |
| Pneumonolysis | surgical separation of lung from chest wall to allow lung to collapse |
| Pulmonary embolism | thrombus lodged in pulmonary artery or one of its branches |
| Sarcoidosis | chronic inflammatory disease with nodules developing in lungs, lymph nodes, other organs |
| Segmentectomy | surgical removal of the smaller subdivisions of lobes of a lung |
| Tachypnea | quick, shallow breathing |
| Total Pneumonectomy | removal of an entire lung |
| Hypercapnia | increased carbon dioxide in arterial blood |
| Hypoxemia | reduced oxygenation of arterial blood |
| ARDS | Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome: acute injury to alveolocapillary membrane |
| Pulmonary Edema | fluid in lung tissue |
| 3 most common types of atelectasis: | adhesive, compression, obstruction |
| 3 causes of absorption atelectasis: | foreign body, tumor, abnormal external pressure |
| Bronchiectasis | chronic, irreversible dilation of bronchi |
| Respiratory Acidosis | decreased level of pH due to excess retention of carbon dioxide |
| Pneumothorax | air collected in pleural cavity |
| Pneumoconiosis | dust particles or other particulate matter in lung |
| 3 common types of pneumoconiosis: | coal, asbestos, fiberglass |
| 3 common types of pleural effusion: | hemothorax (hemorrhage), empyema (pus), exudate (leftover fluid from infection) |
| Cor Pulmonale | hypertrophy or failure of right ventricle |
| Another name for pleuritis: | pleurisy |
| 4 common types of URI: | common cold, croup, sinusitis, laryngitis |
| COPD | irreversible airway obstruction that decreases expiration |
