The main function of the Respiratory system is to supply what to the blood
What is Oxygen?
100
During which process does the diaphragm contract, and air flows into the lungs.
What is inhalation?
200
Two spongy, saclike respiratory organs in most vertebrates, occupying the chest cavity together with the heart and functioning to remove carbon dioxide from the blood and provide it with oxygen
What is the lungs?
200
A Sign and symptom you would see with a patient with Emphysema.
What is Cyanosis?
200
A collection of gas or air in the pleural cavity that results in
perforation through the chest wall or pleura of the lung.
What is Pheumothorax?
200
The five major structures of the Respiratory System
What is Nose,Pharynx (Throat),Trachea,Bronchi,Lungs
200
Inhalation and Exhalation as part of which mechanism.
What is Ventilation?
300
A thin-walled, cartilaginous tube descending from the larynx to the bronchi and carrying air to the lungs. Also called windpipe.
What is Trachea
300
A common sign and symptom you would experience with Chronic Bronchitis.
What is Excessive mucous with productive cough?
300
-Dyspnea
-Feeling of suffocation
-Pain
-Barrel chest
-Chronic cough
-Cyanosis
-Rapid respirations , prolonged expirations
-Respiratory Failure and death
What are some signs and symptoms of Emphyema?
300
allows oxygen to enter body and carbon dioxide to leave
What does the mouth and nose do for the Respiratory System?
300
Space located between the two layers of the pleura allows for the expansion of the lungs during inspiration.
What is Pleura Space
400
resembles grapes, about 500 million in the adult lung. Inside is covered with surfactant – prevents collapse
What is Alveoli
400
A common sign and symptom you would hear with a patient diagnosed with tuberculosis.
What is Wheezing?
400
Chronic inflammation of the bronchi and bronchial tubes
Results from frequent attacks of acute bronchitis and long
term exposure to pollutants or smoking
What is Chronic Bronchitis?
400
The nose is the primary upper respiratory organ in which air enters into and exits from the body. Cilia and mucus line the nasal cavity and traps bacteria and foreign particles that enter in through the nose
What is the function of the nose?
400
Genetic disorder that affects the respiratory and digestive systems
What is cystic fibrosis?
500
Encapsulating sac of the lungs.
What is Pleura
500
A sign and symptom someone would experience with tuberculosis.
What is Hemoptysis- coughing up blood?
500
Infection of one or both of the lungs.
Alveoli (air sacs) fill with pus and other liquids.
What is Pheumonia?
500
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases occurs at the alveolar level. Although effort is required to inflate the alveoli (similar to blowing up a balloon), minimal effort is needed to deflate the alveoli (similar to the deflating of a balloon).
What is the function of the Alveoli?
500
when the carbon dioxide levels are too high the chemo-receptors trigger the lungs to breathe faster, and when the carbon dioxide levels are lower it triggers the lungs to slow down.
