Asthma Case
100

The chamber that pumps blood to the entire body. 

What is Left Ventricle. 

100

This is where the blood goes after the right atrium

What is the right ventricle

100

The word for contraction of the heart. 

Systole

100

The throat is also known as

The pharynx

100

With an asthma attack, what happens to the bronchioles? 

Bronchoconstriction 

200

The chamber that receives blood from the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava.

What is the Right Atrium

200

This is the segment on the ECG that represent ventricular depolarization. 

What is the QRS complex. 

200
This is a normal blood pressure reading.

120/80

200

This structure of the respiratory system performs the gas exchange of O2 and CO2

Alveoli

200
With asthma what happens to the Tidal Volume in a spirometry test? 

It will decease due to the bronchoconstriction. 

300
This layer of the heart is made out of cardiac muscle only. 

Myocardium

300
This structure begins the electrical conduction throughout the heart. 
What is SA Node, or sinus node, or sinoatrial node.
300
This is the artery that is used to measure a person's blood pressure. 

Brachial Artery

300

What is the function of the upper respiratory? 

Warm, humidify, filter

300

On the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve, what is represented on the y-axis? 

Saturation of hemoglobin 

400

This valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle. 

What is the Bicuspid Valve

400

This structure on the ECG is used to calculate the heart rate of an individual. 

What is the R wave. 

400

This is what the first and second readings of blood pressure represent. 

Ventricular systole, ventricular diastole

400

To allow air into the lungs what needs to happen? Reference the two variables involved. 

Increase Volume

Decrease Preussure

400

If you have a normal respiratory system and are at rest, what percentage of oxygen are you using from your hemoglobin? 

25 %

1 of the 4 oxygens on the hemoglobin. 

500

The artery carrying blood from the heart to the lungs. Identify if it is oxygenated or deoxygenated.

What is Pulmonary Artery.

Deoxygenated

500

What are the steps to calculating Heart Rate from an ECG? 

1. count boxes between R and R

2. Multiply by .04

3. Then convert to bpm (60 divided by your answer)

500

Explain how blood pressure is taken auditorily. 

1. Cut off artery, then release pressure. 

2. When first beat is heard that is the systolic pressure. 

3. When beat is no longer heard that is diastolic pressure. 

500

What muscles between the ribs contract to increase the volume in the thoracic cavity? Which ones contract to decrease the volume? 

External Intercostal muscles

Internal Intercostals muscles

500
These are two tests you can do for a patient with an asthma attack. 

Test hemoglobin saturation with an oximeter. 

Spirometry test,
