breathe with a whistling or rattling sound in the chest, as a result of obstruction in the air passages.

31
Q

Define Pulmonary oedema

A

an abnormal buildup of fluid in the lungs

32
Q

Define Obstructive pulmonary disorders

A
  • Obstruction of the airway lumen
  • Obstruction from conditions in the wall of the lumen
33
Q

Define Restrictive pulmonary disorders

A

a decrease in the total volume of air that the lungs are able to hold, is often due to a decrease in the elasticity of the lungs themselves or caused by a problem related to the expansion of the chest wall during inhalation.

34
Q

Describe the process of Inspiration

A
  • Diaphragm contracts and moves inferiorly increasing thoracic cavity volume
  • Internal intercostal muscles contract move rib cage out
35
Q

Describe expiration process

A
  • Diaphragm and inspiration muscles relax
  • Elastic recoil of thorax and lungs
    -During laboured breathing contraction of the internal intercostal and abdominals assist expiration
36
Q

Describe the Perfusion process

A

refers to the blood flow to tissues and organs

37
Q

Describe the Diffusion process

A

the process whereby gases move from an area of high pressure to low pressure, occurs in the alveoli

38
Q

Describe the Ventilation/perfusion rate process

A

a ratio used to assess the efficiency and adequacy of the matching of two variables: V – ventilation – the air that reaches the alveoli. Q – perfusion – the blood that reaches the alveoli via the capillaries.

39
Q

List the respiratory systems defence mechanisms and in a sentence or two each describe
their form and function

A

Nasal cavity - hairs and mucus trap small particles, viruses, bacteria, dust, and dirt to prevent entry.

40
Q

In a paragraph describe how the respiratory system works

A
  • Oxygen is inhaled from atmosphere through the nose/mouth
  • Travels down the larynx to the trachea, which filter and moisten air
  • Oxygen travels to the left and right primary bronchi, secondary and tertiary
  • Diffuses across semi permeable membrane of alveoli into the capillaries. CO2 diffuses out
