Answer
what does the diaphragm do in respiration   moves down and increases thoracic space in inspiration  
🗑
what do the internal intercostals do in respiration   decrease transverse chest diameter in expiration  
🗑
what do the external intercostals do in respiration   increase anteroposterior chest diameter in inspiration  
🗑
what are the inspiratory muscles   diaphragm, external intercostals, scalenes, and SCM  
🗑
what are the expiratory muscles   internal intercostals, rectus abdominus  
🗑
the right lung   has 3 lobes and is higher than the left (b/c of the liver)  
🗑

🗑
at what level is the apex of each lung located   above the 1st rib  
🗑
how long is the trachea   10 cm  
🗑

🗑
what divides the respiratory tract into upper and lower   trachea  
🗑
vessels, nerves, and the bronchi enter the lung through the   hilum  
🗑
ventilation   exchange of air between atmosphere and alveoli  
🗑

🗑
what symptoms would prompt a thorough exam of the chest and lungs   cough, SOB/difficulty breathing, chest pain  
🗑

🗑
what do you look for in the initial survey of chest and lungs   respiratory rate, WOB, retractions, using accessory muscles, cyanosis (lips, nails), and stridor or wheezing  
🗑
stridor is   an upper airway sound (narrowing)high pitchedusually inspiratory  
🗑
wheezing is   a lower airway soundhigh pitchedusually expiratory
