Anatomy - uppers
nasal septum
What is the structure that separates the internal nose
hollow smooth muscle tube
trachea
movement of air in and out
ventilation
perfusion
two elements of assessment
history and physical
cilia
What are fine hairs that move mucus back
Simulating this area of bifurcation can cause a bronchospasm
carina
the diaphragm contracts durring
inhalation
circulation focusing on the supporting tissues of the lungs
bronchial circulation
removal of fluid from between the visceral and parietal pleurae
thoracentesis
sinuses, their purpose specifically
lighten the weight of the skull, give resonance to the voice
last division of the bronchi
bronchioles
the diaphragm relases
exhalation
circulation through the pulmonary capillary bed
types of assessment
inspection, auscultation, palpation
turbinates (conchae)
bones that change the direction of air so it is moisturized
here capillaries exchange oxygen and CO2
alveoli
exchange of oxygen and CO2
diffusion
effectiveness of airflow within the alveoli and adequacy of gas exchange
V/Q Ratio (ventilation/perfusion ratio)
Draw these, when in distress
ABGs
voice box
larynx
Contractions move this structure downward, creating a vacuum
diaphragm
hemoglobin
too much interference with ventilation, diffusion, or perfusion can lead to
respiratory insufficiency
used to diagnose, treat or evaluate lung disease
Bronchoscopy
