Q

Deep inspiration

A

Actions of quiet inspiration increase because a person needs more oxygen and therefore breathes harder - muscles that can pull the ribs up are being called into action

Q

Forced inspiration

A

Occurs when an individual is working very hard, needs a great deal of oxygen, and is in a state of “air hunger”

Q

External intercostal insertion

18
Q

External intercostal action

A

elevates ribs during inspiration

19
Q

Internal intercostal origin

A

rib below

20
Q

Internal intercostal insertion

A

rib above

21
Q

Internal intercostal action

A

depress ribs during expiration

22
Q

Diaphragmatic breathing

A

most efficient method of breathing and requires the least amount of energy

23
Q

Chest breathing

A

requires greater effort and is much less efficient than diaphragmatic breathing

24
Q

Valsalva maneuver

A

occurs when people hold their breath and attempt to exhale

25
Q

Upper respiratory infection (URI)

A

any infection confined to the nose, throat, and larynx

26
Q

Common URI infections

A

flu, laryngitis, rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa)

27
Q

Lower respiratory infection (LRI)

A

involve structures from the trachae to the alveoli

28
Q

Pneumonia

A

inflammation of the alveoli cause by bacterial or viral infection (most common LRI)

29
Q

Lobar pneumonia

A

pneumonia effecting the entire lobe

30
Q

Bronchopneumonia

A

pneumonia scattered throughout the entire lung - more common in the very young and very old

31
Q

Common LRI

A

bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, and asthma

32
Q

Bronchitis

A

involves the bronchi and their many subdivisions

33
Q

Emphysema

A

walls of the alveoli become distened and lose their elasticity due to chronic bronchial obstruction

34
Q

Asthma

A

symptoms are usually due to a spasm of the bronchial walls which makes exhalation very difficult

35
Q

Hyperventilation

A

occurs commonly during rapid breathing when more CO2 is removed from the system than is being produced metabolically

36
Q

Stitch

A

temporary condition common in runners - localized, sharp pain, usually felt just below the rib cage and commonly caused by a cramp in the diaphragm

37
Q

Hiccups

A

involuntary spasms of the diaphragm accompanied by rapid closure of the glottis which produced short, sharp, inspiratory sounds

38
Q

Pleurisy

A

quiet, painful condition caused by inflammation of the pleura

39
Q

Pneumothorax (collapsed lung)

A

occurs by introducing air into or otherwise destroying the vacuum of the pleural cavity, reducing ventilation capacity

40
Q

Rib separation

A

dislocation between the rib and its costal cartilages

41
Q

Rib dislocation

A

displacement of costal cartilage from the sternum

42
Q

Flail chest

A

when four or more ribs are fractured in two places (comminuted), causing the chest wall to collapse rather than expand during inspiration
