Question 6

Perfusion

Answer 6

Delivery of blood to tissues or organs

Question 7

Pulmonary

Answer 7

Anything to do with the lungs

Question 8

Partial Pressure Help

Answer 8

PAO2 and PACO2 are inversely related.

Question 9

Answer 9

Question 10

Airflow equation

Answer 10

Question 11

Ciliated epithelium

Answer 11

Lines the trachea and bronchi, helping to move mucus and trapped particles out of the airways

Question 12

Cartilage

Answer 12

Provides structural support to the trachea and bronchi.

Question 13

Smooth Muscle

Answer 13

Found in the bronchioles, allowing for regulation of airway diameter.

Question 14

Mucus Build Up

Answer 14

Question 15

What does a peak flow meter do

Answer 15

A peak flow meter is a device used to measure the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), which is an important indicator of lung function. It helps in assessing airway resistance and monitoring respiratory conditions.

Question 16

Lung Volume info

Answer 16

Question 17

Resistance Summary

Answer 17
