The respiratory system is divided into these 2 categories.

What is the conducting zone and respiratory zone?

100

These are the 3 pressures involved in breathing.

What is barometric air pressure, alveolar pressure, and pleural pressure?

100

This is the percent of oxygen in the atmosphere.

What is 21%?

100

This protein is how both CO2 and O2 can be transported in the blood.

What is hemoglobin?

100

This is squeezed out from the glomerulus into proximal convolute tubule.

What is filtrate?

200

These 2 things are directly related to maintaining normal compliance.

What is elastin fibers and surfactant?

200

This is the alveolar pressure during inspiration.

What is 999 cm H20?

200

If the total atmospheric pressure is 655 mmHg, what is the partial pressure of oxygen?

What is about 137 mmHg?

200

CO2 is transported in the blood in these 3 different ways.

What is dissolved, via hemoglobin, and via HCO3-?

200

This occurs when the kidneys are forced to reabsorb high levels of [X] due to a condition or disease.

What is abnormally high levels of X?

300

This is the amount of physiologic dead space a patient has if they have 150 ml of anatomic dead space and 600 ml of alveolar dead space.

What is 750 ml of physiologic dead space?

300

This is the pleural pressure at the end of expiration.

What is 995 cm of H20?

300

These are the interstitial PO2 and venous end of systemic end of capillary PO2. 

What is 40 and 40?

300

There 3 things cause a right shift.

What is increase in CO2, increase in acid, and increase in temperature?

300

The concentration of this carbohydrate is used to estimate renal plasma flow rate

What is para-aminohippurate?

400

This is the average volume of air that can be inspired at the end of a normal inspiration. (Both measurement and number)

What inspiratory reserve volume and 3,000 to 3,300 ml?

400

This occurs when when pleural pressure is more positive than alveolar pressure.

What is a tension pneumothorax?

400

This is the PaCO2 in the systemic capillary.

What is 40?

400

This type of pulmonary disease decreases alveolar ventilation and increases residual volume.

What is obstructive?

400

This special type of pore is increased in the collecting duct when there is high blood osmolarity.

What is an aquaporin?

500

A doctor is measuring this if they add a up a patient’s tidal volume (500ml), inspiratory reserve volume (3,150ml), and expiratory reserve volume (1,115ml). (Both measurement and volume)

What is vital capacity and 4,765 ml?

500

This occurs when pleural pressure is equal to Alveolar pressure

What is a simple pneumothorax?

500

This is the PO2 of the cell.

What is 20?

500

A patient has this condition if FEV1/FVC is normal, but there is still decreased ventilation.

What is restricitve pulmonary disease?

500

A patient may have this in their urine if they have a urine volume of 1000 ml, osmolarity of 250 mEq/L, and specific gravity of 1.056.

What is protein, RBCs, WBCs?
