Question
Answer
Alveolus   microscopic air sac within the lung, where gas exchange takes place  
🗑
Apnea   cessation of breathing after expiration  
🗑
Bronchial Tree   the bronchi and their branches that carry air from the trachea to the alveoli of the lungs  
🗑
Bronchus   a primary branch of the trachea that leads to the lung  
🗑
Bronchioles   a small branch of a bronchus within the lung  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   the utilization of O2 by the cells to produce energy (ATP), CO2 and H2O  
🗑
Cricoid Cartilage   ring-shaped mass of cartilage at the base of the larynx  
🗑
Dyspnea   difficult or labored breathing  
🗑
Eupnea   normal (quiet) breathing  
🗑
External Respiration   exchange of gases between alveoli and blood  
🗑
Hyperventilation   prolonged rapid and deep breathing  
🗑
Hypoventilation   decrease in respiratory rate, very slow and shallow breathing  
🗑
Hypoxemia   deficiency of O2 in arterial blood  
🗑
Hypoxia   deficiency of O2 reaching the tissues and cells  
🗑
Ischemic hypoxia   because of diminished blood flow  
🗑
Anemic hypoxia   because of diminished RBCs and Hemoglobin  
🗑
Internal Respiration   exchange of gases between the blood and tissues (or body cells)  
🗑
Pulmonary Ventilation   process of mechanically moving air into and out of the lungs  
🗑
Respiration   the entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells  
🗑
Respiratory Cycle   one inspiration followed by one expiration  
🗑
Surface Tension   the force that adheres moist membranes due to the attraction of water molecules  
🗑
Tachypnea   increased breathing (frequency) but not necessarily an increase in tidal volume  
🗑
Upper Respiratory Tract   includes the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and pharynx  
🗑
Lower Respiratory Tract   include the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree and lungs  
🗑
Acid   An "acidic" solution has a pH less than 7  
🗑
Anion   Negative charged ions  
🗑
Base (Alkali)   An alkaline (base) solution has a pH greater than 7  
🗑
Buffer   A buffer is the conjugate (combined) base of a weak acid; it accepts and relinquishes H+, thereby minimizing changes in free H+ concentration  
🗑
Cation   Positive charged ions  
🗑
C02   Carbon dioxide  
🗑
C3H603   Lactic acid  
🗑
Electrolyte   Substance that dissolves in water and results in a solution that conducts an electric current  
🗑
Electric charge symbols   Plus (+) and minus (-) indicate that the substance in question is ionic in nature and has an imbalanced distribution of electrons This is the result of chemical breakdown  
🗑
HC03-   Bicarbonate  
🗑
H2C03   Carbonic acid  
🗑
Homeostasis   Defined as balance In the body pH is maintained by buffer systems  
🗑
H+   Hydrogen  
🗑
ion   An atom or group of bonded atoms which have lost or gained one or more electrons, making them negatively or positively charged  
🗑
Oxidation   describes the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion  
🗑
pH   Stands for the power of H, or the amount of H+ ions acids or bases take or contribute in solution Express acidity, basicity, and neutrality of a solution  
🗑
Reduction   describes the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion  
🗑
Assimilation   the utilization of nutrients by living tissue and cells  
🗑
Absorption   the movement of nutrients into the circulatory system. Molecules of amino acids, glucose, fatty acids and glycerol go from inside the intestines into the circulating fluids of the body  
🗑
Bolus   a mass of food and saliva that is ready to be swallowed  
🗑
Chyme   a semi-fluid mixture of food and gastric juice  
🗑
Digestion   the mechanical and chemical breakdown of foods and the absorption of the resulting nutrients by cells  
🗑
Defecation   the elimination of indigestible substances from the Ingestion - the taking in of food into the mouth, i. e. bowel movement  
🗑
Mechanical digestion   the process of breaking food down into smaller pieces without altering the chemical composition  
🗑
Colostomy   opening surgically created in the colon to divert intestinal contents after lower portions of the bowel are surgically removed  
🗑
Constipation   decreased passage of bowel movement or hard dry feces  
🗑
Diarrhea   frequent loose stools page 56  
🗑
Defecation   elimination of bowel wastes  
🗑
Enema   instillation of solution into the rectum and sigmoid colon  
🗑
Feces   stool; waste products eliminated through the colon  
🗑
Flatulence   gas  
🗑
Hemorrhoids   enlarged vein inside or outside of the rectum  
🗑
Ileostomy   opening surgically created at the point of ileum to divert intestinal contents after lower portions of the bowel are surgically removed  
🗑
Impaction   presence of fecal mass too large or hard to pass voluntarily  
🗑
Ostomy   opening into the intestine that diverts feces from its normal pathway  
🗑
Stoma   artificial opening into the intestine  
🗑
