The airway structure located inferior to the oropharynx and sometimes referred to as the hypopharynx. 

what is the laryngopharynx

100

The percentage of oxygen in room air.

What is 21%

100

Having a higher affinity than oxygen this molecule will cause pulse oximeters to read falsely high. 

What is carbon monoxide

100

A tool used to measure the percentage of hemoglobin saturation.

What is a pulse oximeter

100

The name of Neville Longbottom's pet toad

Who is Trevor

200

These serve as the functional site for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. 

What are alveoli

200

The biomolecule containing iron and responsible for binding oxygen. 

What is Hemoglobin

200

Think big picture...

The type of respiration that occurs at the cellular level. As blood travels throughout the body, it supplies oxygen and nutrients to various tissues and cells.

What is internal respiration

200

A simple and quick way to open an airway in patients without suspected spine trauma. 

What is a head tilt-chin lift maneuver

200

The name of the sweets shop in Hogsmeade

What is Honeydukes

300

The point at which the trachea divides into the two mainstem bronchi (right and left). 

What is the carina

300

The chemical process by which cells make energy (ATP) and waste (carbon dioxide) from nutrients (oxygen). 

What is metabolism or cellular respiration

300

Think big picture...

This type of respiration involves the physical process of breathing fresh air in, and exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between alveoli and blood in the pulmonary capillaries. 

What is external respiration

300

A simple and quick way to open the airway of patients with suspected spinal trauma. 

What is a jaw thrust maneuver

300

The spell from Harry potter used to disarm an opponent

What is expelliarmus

400

The space between the vocal cords, and the narrowest part of the adult airway. 

What is the glottic opening or glottis. 

400

This vessel brings deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary vasculature.

What is the pulmonary artery

400

The receptors responsible for monitoring the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ions of the cerebrospinal fluid and then send feedback to the respiratory centers in the brain.  

What are chemoreceptors

400

The maximum time that should be spent suctioning an adult airway. 

What is 15 seconds.

The prize winning writer from harry potter and the goblet of fire, Reeta Skeeter, uses this animagus form to eves drop on unsuspecting do gooders. 

What is a beetle

500

This complete ring of tissue is located inferior to the thyroid cartilage and is the lowest portion of the larynx.

What is the cricoid cartilage

500

This fluid reduces the surface tension in alveoli and prevents alveolar collapse. 

What is surfactant

500

This occurs when ventilation is fine but there is low perfusion to the lungs. OR when there is plenty of perfusion to the lungs but ventilation has been compromised. 

What is ventilaion/perfusion ratio mismatch

500

The easiest way to manage the airway of unconscious patients who are spontaneously breathing and might throw up.

What is a log roll to the "recovery position"

Dumbledore tells Harry he sees these prized items in the mirror or erised

What are socks
