Question
Answer
The oral cavity refers to the   mouth  
🗑
Two structures located at the posterior(back) portion of the oral cavity are the   palatine tonsils  
🗑
The tonsils are   lymph tissue  
🗑
Lymph tissue is part of your   immune system  
🗑
The nasal cavities refer to the   nose  
🗑
The two meati(openings) of the nasa cavities are called   nostris or external nares  
🗑
the hairs found lining the nasal cavities act as   screening devices  
🗑
The nasal cavities are separated by the   nasal septum  
🗑
The nasal cavities house the sense of smell referred to as the   olfactory sense  
🗑
The nasal cavities are lined with   mucous membranes  
🗑
Mucous membranes produce   mucus  
🗑
The pharynx is AKA   throat  
🗑
The orophaynx refers to the   oral cavity(mouth) and pharynx(throat)  
🗑
Nasopharyngeal means   pertaining to the nasal cavity(nose) and pharynx(throat)  
🗑
The adenoids are located in the   nasopharynx  
🗑
The adenoids are   lymph tissue and part of your immune system  
🗑
The nasopharynx also houses two ducts that lead to the middle ears called   Eustachian tubes  
🗑
The function of the Eustachian tubes is to   equalize pressure between the middle ear and the outside environment in order to prevent tympanorrhexis (ear drum rupture)  
🗑
The larynx is AKA   vocal cords or voice box  
🗑
The larynx connects the   pharynx(throat) with the trachea(wind pipe)  
🗑
Laryngopharynx(hypopharynx) refers to the   larynx(voice box or vocal cords) and pharynx(throat)  
🗑
The larynx is support by pieces of   cartilage  
🗑
The pieces of cartilage that support the larynx are called   1.The thyroid cartilage 2.The epiglottis 3.The cricoid cartilage  
🗑
The largest piece of cartilage is the   thyroid cartilage AKA "Adam's apple"  
🗑
The epiglottis is the   "lid over the larynx"  
🗑
The epiglottis is designed to   open when we breathe and close when we swallow  
🗑
The glottis is the   space between the larynx(vocal cords, voice box)  
🗑
The trachea is AKA the   windpipe  
🗑
the bronchi are the   two main airway branches that bifurcate off the trachea(windpipe)  
🗑
These two main brances are called the   right primary bronchus and the left primary bronchus  
🗑
On entering the lungs the primary bronchi(plural) divide to form smaller bronchi called the   secondary(lobar) bronchi(plural)  
🗑
The secondary or lobar bronchi(plural) continue to branch forming even smaller bronchi called   tertiary(3)(segmental) bronchi  
🗑
Tertiary or segmental bronchi divide into smaller brances called   bronchioles(small branches)  
🗑
Bronchioles finally branch into even smaller tubes called   terminal bronchioles  
🗑
The terminal bronchioles subdivide into microscopic branches called   respiratory bronchoiles  
🗑
The respiratory bronchioles further subdivide into   aveolar ducts  
🗑
The aveolar ducts house the aveoli in the   alveolar sacs  
🗑
The aveolar sacs house the   aveoli(respiration takes place)  
🗑
This continuous branching of the trachea is referred to as the   bronchial tree  
🗑
It is estimated that the average number of alveoli in a human is   30 million  
🗑
Every alveolus is surrounded by   capillaries  
🗑
The alveoli are where   respiration occurs  
🗑
Respiration involves two processes:   1.External respiration-which is the exchange of gases that occurs between the lungs and the blood 2.Internal respiration which is the exchange of gases that occurs between the blood & body cells  
🗑
Every cell of the body is surrounded by   capillaries  
🗑
The actual exchange of the respiratory gases between the lungs, blood and cells occurs by   diffusion  
🗑
Diffusion means   the process in which particles in a fluid or gas move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
The cavity where the respiratory organs are found is the   thoracic cavity  
🗑
The lungs are divided into sections called   lobes  
🗑
The right lung has   3 lobes(RUL, RML, RLL)  
🗑
The left lung has   2 lobes(LUL, LLL)  
🗑
The primary bronchi(plural) are lined with small hair-like structures called   cilia  
🗑
The purpose of the cilia is to   catch foreign particles that are inhaled during inspiration  
🗑
As the cilia becomes saturated from the inhaled particles the mucous membranes that lined the respiratory tract will produce   mucus  
🗑
The purpose of the mucus is to   trap the foreign particles  
🗑
When enough mucus is produced the nervous system will trigger the   cough reflex  
🗑
the cough reflex gives a person two choices   1.Cough the mucus up and spit it out 2.Cough the mucus up and swallow it  
🗑
A productive cough refers to a   cough where sputum is produced  
🗑
A non-productive cough refers to a   dry cough(no sputum) such as croup(bark-like cough)  
🗑
Antitussive refers to a   cough suppressant  
🗑
The act of coughing up mucus is called   expectoration(expectorate)  
🗑
The mucus expectorated is called   sputum or phlegm  
🗑
Normal sputum(phlegm) appears   clear or white  
🗑
Mucopurulent refers to   mucus & pus  
🗑
Hemoptysis means   expectorating blood  
🗑
Yellow, green or pungent sputum(phlegm) can indicate   infection  
🗑
C&S stands for   Culture & Sensitivity  
🗑
A C&S is performed to   grow antigens and determine the best antibiotic to treat the infection  
🗑
Two membranous layers surround each lung called   pleurae(plural)  
🗑
The purpose of the pleurae(plural) is to   protect the lungs from the ribs  
🗑
The outermost pleural layer is called the   parietal pleura(singular)  
🗑
The innermost pleural layer is called the   visceral pleura(singular)  
🗑
Between the parietal and visceral pleurae(plural) is a space called the   pleural cavity(space)  
🗑
The pleural cavity(space) contains   pleural fluid(lubricating fluid) to prevent friction between the parietal and visceral pleurae(plural) during ventilation(breathing)  
🗑
Ventilation refers to   breathing  
🗑
PFT stands for   Pulmonary Function Tests  
🗑
Incentive spirometry (IS) is a   test to measure the ability to self ventilate  
🗑
Tidal Volume(TV)   the amount of air inhaled & exhaled during normal ventilation(breathing)  
🗑
Inspiratory Reserve Volume(IRV)   the volume of air that can be inhaled beyond a normal resting inspiration  
🗑
Expiratory Reserve Volume(ERV)   the volume of air that can be exhaled beyond a normal resting expiration  
🗑
The process of moving air in and out of the lungs is called   ventilation(breathing)  
🗑
The two phases of ventilation are   inhalation(inspiration) and exhalation(expiration)  
🗑
The muscles primarily responsible for ventilation are the   1.Diaphragm 2.Internal & external intercostals  
🗑
ventilation is controlled by the respiratory center located in the   medulla oblongata  
🗑
A ventilator refers to   a device that pushes air in and out of the lungs  
🗑
Intubation (intubate) is   the process of inserting a tube  
🗑
Intubation usually refers to an   Endotracheal Tube(ET)  
🗑
The instrument used to insert an Endotracheal Tube(ET) is called a   laryngoscope  
🗑
Ambu bag refers to a   bag that is used to ventilate an apnic patient  
🗑
ABGs stands for   Arterial Blood Gases  
🗑
oxygen saturation(SaO2) is   the amount of oxygen(O2)that has combined with(saturated) hemoglobin  
🗑
Percentage of carbon dioxide(PCOs)is   the amount or Percentage of Carbon Dioxide(CO2) that has combined with hemoglobin

🗑
CXR stands for   Chest X-Ray  
🗑
NPPV stands for   Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation(a respiratory Tx)  
🗑

🗑
Rales refers to   crackling sounds heard during ausculation(listening with a stethoscope)  
🗑
