| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Within the skull are 2 nasal cavities - what separates them | nasal septum |
| what are the 3 functions of nasal mucosa | warms the air, humidifies the air, traps enhaled particles and bacteria in mucous |
| what is the passage way for food & air behind the mouth | oropharynx |
| where is your voice box located | in the larynx |
| what is intrapulmonic pressure (matching) | pressure within the bronchia tree & alveoli |
| what is intrapleural pressure (matching) | within the potential pleural space between parietal & visceral pleural and usually lower that pressure outside the body |
| where do you find atmospheric air (matching) | the air around us |
| what 4 skull bones contain the paranasal sinuses | frontal, ethmoid, maxilla and sphenoid |
| external respiration is exchange of gases where | air in the lungs and blood in pulmonary capillaries |
| internal respiration is exchange of gases where | in blood from systemic capillaries and tissue fluid |
| what blood cells carry oxygen | red blood cells |
| within the oxygen carrying cells the oxygen is bonded to what mineral___ and is connected to the protein on the cell called ___ | (mineral) - iron; (protein) - hemoglobin |
| what are the 2 respiratory gases | oxygen and carbon dioxide |
| what is above and below the larynx | trachea/below and pharynx/above |
| what is hemoptysis | couphing up blood |
| what specific organism causes histoplasmosis | histoplasma capsulatum |
| describe Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome | severe pulmonary congestion with acute respiratory distress & hypoxia |

| the treatment for viral laryngitis is | voice rest |
| pulmonary embolisms occur when a clot of foreign material lodges in the artery in which circulation | pulmonary circulation |
| what is respiratory acidosis & when does it occur | excessive CO2, decreased pH (when rate of efficienty of respiration decreases allowing CO2 to accumulate - ex. pneumonia, emphysema, severe asthma |
| what is respiratory alkalosis & when does it occur | less CO2, increased pH (rate of respiration increases & CO2 is rapidly exhaled - ex. hyperventilation) |
| when does metabolic acidosis occur | in untreated diabetes mellitus, kidney disease or severe diarrhea |
| when does metabolic alkalosis occur | ingestion or excessive amts of alkaline medication such as antacids, vomiting |
| if the body pH is changed by any other process than respiration, it is called | metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis |
| what are the 2 divisions of the respiratory tract called | upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract |
| what is in the upper respiratory tract | air passages of nose, nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx and upper trachea |
| what is in the lower respiratory tract | lower traachea and lungs |
