Ch 8: Respiratory System Flashcards
(35 cards)
respiration
process where you supply the body cells with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
external respiration vs internal respiration
ER moves oxygen from the air into the blood, while IR moves oxygen from the blood to the tissues
inspiration and experitation can also be called
inhalation and exhalation
spir/o
to breathe
Components of respiratory system
Upper Respiratory Tract
Lower Respiratory Tract
URT
nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, larynx
trachea
LRP
Bronci
bronchioles
alveoli
phren/o
mind or diaphragm
What membrane surrounds the lungs
Pleura
What prevents the food from getting into the larynx and the respiratory tract
epiglottis
alveol/o
bronch/o, brochi/o
bronchiol/o
epiglott/o
laryng/o
lob/o
nas/o, rhin/o
phren/o

alvelolus
bronchus

trachea
voice box

windpipe
larynx
pharynx
trachea
Air pathway
nose-nasal cavity-nasopharynx-oropharynx-laryngopharynx-larynx-
trachea-bronchi-bronchioles-alveoli-lung capillaries
oximetry
noninvasive photo+diagnostic method of monitoring blood oxygen saturation in the arteries
What’s oxygen saturation
is the percent of hemoglobin molecules that are saturated with oxygen
eupnea
bradypnea
tachypnea
hyperpnea
dyspnea
apea
orthopnea
hyperventilation
normal breathing 12-20
slower than 12 breaths
faster than 20 breaths
deep breathing, faster than 20 breaths
difficult breathing, SOB
temporary absence of breathing
uncomfortable breathing in any position except standing
increased aeranation of the lungs, which reduces CO2 levels in the body
spirometry
measurement of the amount of air taken into and expelled from the lungs
Vital capacity
largest volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inspiration
hypoxia vs anoxia
deficiency of oxygen caused from red8ced oxygen concentration in the air at high altitudes or from anemia
bronchoscopy
Visual examination of the tracheobronchial tree using a bronchoscope
2 type of abnormal conditions of the chest cavity
pneumothorax- air or gas in the chest cavity
hemothorax- blood in pleural cavity
pulmonary embolism
embolus in the lungs
bronchopneumonia
inflammation
growth protuding from a mucous membrane
polyp
material coughed up from the trachea, bronchi, and lungs
sputum
pertaining to
pharynx
larynx
alveoli
