cells produce energy most efficiently from
what is aerobic metabolism
patient with tachycardia will likely experience
decreased stroke volume
metabolism that creates large amounts of CO2 and lactic acid but generates little energy is
what is anaerobic metabolism
this can occur anywhere in the digestive tract
when a patient under the influence of narcotic overdoses and begins to breathe inadequately, why is tidal volume unaffected even if the respiratory rate slows?
what is the volume of air moved in a single breathing cycle has not changed
potential space between the lung and chest wall is
what is pleural space
in a hypersensitivity reaction, edema is produced by
what is histamine
digestive disorders can seriously impact nutrient transfer and
what is immune response
our blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells and returns with what byproduct of metabolism?
what is carbon monoxide
signs a patient's nervous system has become impaired
what is the inability to speak clearly
a medical problem that affects the nervous system but is not directly associated with it
"low blood sugar"
what is hypoglycemia
production of energy occurs in what part of the cell
what is mitochondria
adequately deliver oxygen to and remove waste from tissues of the body
what is perfusion
what is NOT a way fluid could be lost from the body?
-rapid breathing
-diaphoresis
-tachycardia
-major burns
in the brainstem, crucial for controlling the autonomic functions of respiration, including the rhythm of breathing
what is medulla oblongata
injury to the brain and spinal cord, and systemic allergic reactions cause what similar cardiovascular problems
what is loss of tone
correct order of airflow from the nose to the alveoli in the lungs
what is
1.) nose
2.) nasopharynx
3.) hypopharynx
4.) larynx
5.) trachea
6.) bronchi
7.) alveoli
chemoreceptors found in the body and vascular system measure
low oxygen - high carbon dioxide
hypovolemia/ low blood volume occurs when blood is lost from the cardiovascular system or when:
what is plasma portion of blood is lost
CO2 is transported back to the lungs via:
what is plasma
in severe sepsis, inflammatory mediators and systemic infections can increase the permeability (leakage) of the:
what is alveolar capillary membrane
what effect does sympathetic NS stimulation of the heart have on cardiac output?
what is heart rate increases, increasing cardiac output
which involves the complete oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce a large amount of ATP
what is aerobic metabolism
what generates the force that results in hydrostatic blood pressure?
what is contraction of the left ventricle
what does severe sepsis change about the thin wall between the alveoli and alveoli capillaries
what is permability
