Terminology
Deficiency in Oxygen
Hypoxia
The space that the respiratory organs are held
Thoracic Cavity
What is Atelectasis
Collapse of a lung or part of a lung due to loss of air in the alveoli
Contains 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide
Air lol
Reduces blood oxygen carrying capacity
Anemia
Act of breathing out
Expiration
What is the muscle that helps with the process of breathing
Diaphragm
What does PEEP stand for
Positive End Expiratory Pressure
Attaches to the hemoglobin molecule in the blood
Oxygen
What does RSV stand for
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Define Pneumothorax
Free air trapped within the chest cavity.
How many sinuses are there in the human body
4
Purpose of a chest tube
Drain air, blood or fluid from pleural space
This compound attaches to the H20 in plasma to form carbonic acid
CO2
a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged and enlarged, causing breathlessness
Emphysema
Form of respiratory drive in which the body uses oxygen chemoreceptors instead of carbon dioxide receptors to regulate the respiratory cycle.
Hypoxic Drive
The apex of the lung is located where?
Superior portion of the thoracic cavity
Dyspnea
Difficulty breathing
Build up of carbonic acid causes the brain stem to initiate what?
Rapid breathing
18 y/o F takes birth control, having difficulty breathing. What is the likely cause?
Pulmonary Embolism
Air or gas in the space between your lungs
Pneumomediastinum
Tiny hairs inside the lungs and airway
Cilia
what part of the brain controls breathing?
Brain Stem
When blood acid levels are too low and causes the blood Ph levels to be too high, the brain stem will slow breathing, which is the common name for this
Bradypnea
a genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to various skin abnormalities, kidney tumors, and lung cysts that can result in spontaneous pneumothoraces
Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome.
