NURS 453 Stack 2

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
the stmulation of the J receptors leads to this in the breathing rate and this   an increase in breathing rate and dyspnea  
🗑
irritant receptors are located   in the epithelium of the conducting airways  
🗑
conducting airways are   the upper airway  
🗑
irritant receptors are sensitive to   noxious stimuli  
🗑
when stimulated, irritant receptors cause   bronchoconstriction, increased ventilator rate, mucus production and cough  
🗑
hering - breuer inflation reflex is most active in   newborns  
🗑
the function of the h-b reflex is to   prevent over inflation of the lungs  
🗑
hb is also present in   adults requiring mechanical ventilation  
🗑
the hb reflex is regulated by   mechanoreceptors in the smooth muscle of the airways  
🗑
h-b reflex prevents   distention of lungs and airways causing decreases in breathing rate and volumes and prolongs the expiratory time  
🗑
joint and muscle receptors detect   movement of the limbs  
🗑
the joint and muscle receptors signal   the inspiratory center to increase breathing rate  
🗑
inspiration and expiration involve three things   major and accessory muscles, elastic properties of the lung tissue and chest wall and resistance to airflow  
🗑
lung expansion and contraction takes place due to the   downward and upward movement of the diaphragm, elevation and depression of the ribs and and increase and decrease of anteroposterior diameter  
🗑
the decrease of the anteroposterior diameter is a   natural passive process  
🗑
when we inhale the diaphragm moves   down  
🗑
when we exhale, the diaphragm moves   up  
🗑
to inhale, these muscles assist   the abdominus rectus push down  
🗑
if there is an increase in resistance, you may need to do this in order to expire air   work harder  
🗑
to draw air in, the air pressure inside the lungs   must drop  
🗑
when the air pressure drops inside the lungs,   lungs expand, contractions of the diaphragm and external intercostals, thoracic cavity expands  
🗑
when the thoracic cavity expands   the pleura and lungs are pulled outward  
🗑
forced inhalation takes place during some disease processes like   asthma  
🗑
accessory muscles involved in forced inhalation include   the sternocleidomastoid, scalene and the pectoralis minor  
🗑
the sternocleidomastoid muscle elevates   the left sternum  
🗑
the scalene muscle elevates   the first two ribs  
🗑
the pectoralis minor elevates   the 3rd - 5th ribs  
🗑
changes in lung volumes are affected by these two things   elasticity of the lungs and elasticity of the chest wall.  
🗑
the elasticity of the lungs is affected by   elastin fibers in the alveolar walls and surface tension at the alveolar air liquid interface  
🗑
the major contributors to the elasticity of the lungs are the   elastin fibers in the alveolar walls  
🗑
the elasticity of the chest wall results from   configuration of the bones and musculature  
🗑
these disease processes diminish the elasticity of the chest wall   kyphoscoliosis and muscle weakness  
🗑
Elastic recoil pressure is   the intrinsic property of a container or lungs to collapse (elasticity) and return to a resting state  
🗑
Law of LaPlace   Within the alveolus, surface tension is an elastic force that is influenced by the size of the alveolus.  
🗑
An alveolus will have an increased chance to collapse if   there is a small radius, there is decreased alveolar expansion  
🗑
surfactant is   a lipoprotein produced by type II alveolar cells  
🗑
surfactant is produced during   the terminal sac phase of embyonic development  
🗑
Surfactant reverses the effects of the Law of LaPlace by   forming a lipid monolayer between surface of the alveoli and air, it lowers surface tension by separating liquid molecules  
🗑
the decrease in surface tension from surfactant   maintains alveoli free of fluid and prevents alveolar collapse  
🗑
compliance is a measure of   a measure of lung and chest wall distensibility  
🗑
compliance is the   reciprocal of elasticity  
🗑
the pathological state with increased compliance means that   the lungs are easy to inflate and have lose elastic recoil pressure - obstructive lung diseases, COPD  
🗑
the pathological state with decreased compliance means that   lungs are stiffened and difficult to inflate related to increased elastic recoil pressure, ARDS, pneumonia, lungs collapsing on self.  
🗑
elasticity is equal to   recoil  
🗑
the work of breathing is normally very   low  
🗑
if work of breathing is increased, that means that one of the following or all are occuring   decrease in lung compliance (increase in recall), decrease in chest wall compliance, increase in airway obstruction (increase in resistance), decrease in surfactant  
🗑
if the work of breathing has increased it contributes to   dyspnea and SOB  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
