Exam 1 Review Quesitons Flashcards
Cytology
Study of the structure and function of cells
Angiology
Study of blood vessels and the lymphatic system
What is the energy source of speech
Respiration. It’s primary function though is gas exchange
Aponeurosis
Sheet-like tendon, greatly resemble fascia but are much denser
Lymphoid tissue
Specialized connective tissue found in tonsils and adenoids
Striated muscle
Striped appearance on microscopic examination, commonly known as skeletal muscle because it is used to move skeletal structures
Where does gas exchange occur?
Alveoli
Boyle’s law
States that, given a gas of constant temperature, if you increase the volume of the chamber in which the gas is contained, the pressure will decrease. If you decrease the volume of the chamber, the pressure will increase. Air will flow to equalize that pressure. Thus, air flows into the chamber (lungs)
Pelvic girdle bones
Ilium (iliac crest, sacro iliac joint, greater sciatic notch
Ischium
Pubis
Positive pressure
Air pressure that exceed atmospheric pressure, pressure has increased
Negative pressure
Air pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure, pressure has decreased
Pneumothorax
Punctured/collapsed lung. Aggregation of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall, with subsequent loss of the negative intrapleural pressure.
Tidal volume
The volume of air exchanged in one cycle of respiration
IV + EV
Types of muscle tissue
Striated
Smooth
Cardiac
Charles law
Volume is directly proportional to temperature when pressure is held constant. Charles is hot! Air expands in volume as it is warmed by the respiratory mucus. . Gas expands as it warm. Hot air rises. As gas is inspired it will cause an increase of the volume of inspired gases. Volume increases or decreases based on temperature
Upper respiratory tract
Nasal cavity
Oral cavity
Pharyngeal cavity
Sinuses
Where do you hear high and low frequencies?
High near the base of the cochlea or stapes, lower pitch sounds near the distal end or apex of cochlea
Fluid in the cochlea duct
Endolymph
High frequency hearing loss
Damage to hair cells in cochlea. Hearing loss have greater difficulty hearing or understanding anything within 2000-8000 hertz range
Sensorineural hearing loss
Results from damage to the hair cells within the inner ear
Accounts for the majority of hearing loss
Conductive hearing loss
Happens when sounds cannot get through the outer and middle ear.
Hard to hear soft sounds
Loud sounds may be muffled
Caused by a cold, otitis media (ear infection), hole in eardrum, tumor, earwax
Otitis media
Ear infection
Language goals for deaf or hard of hearing
Complex concepts, syntax, pragmatic
Articulation vs. language goals
Articulation deals with sound. Language deals with expressive and receptive
