WHat is the role of alveoli
oxygenate venous blood
remove Co2
when breathing in (inhale)
does the diaphragm ascend or descend?
do the ribs move up and out or in and down?
do we increase intrapulmonic pressure or lung volume?
descend
up and out
lung volume
what do nebulizers do
disperse fine particles of liquid medication into the deeper passages of the respiratory tract
The nurse schedules a pulmonary function test to measure the amount of air left in a client's lungs at maximal expiration. What test does the nurse order?
1. Tidal volume (TV)
2. Total lung capacity (TLC)
3. Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV)
4. Residual Volume (RV)
RV
Lower airway?
Whats the function?
trachea, bronchi
bronchioles
conduction of air, mucociliary clearance, produce pulmonary surfactant
what is the respiratory center in the brain
medulla by Co2

(Head to toe)
inspect
palpate
auscultate
