Class 7 and 8 Flashcards
(46 cards)
ventilation
the movement of air in and out of the lungs
diffusion
the movement of gasses between the alveoli and the blood stream via the respiratory membrane
perfusion
the movement of blood into and out of the capillary beds of the lungs to body organs and tissues
Shunt
perfusion without ventilation
deadspace
ventilation without perfusion
hypoxemic respiratory failure
failure to oxygenate adequately
Hypercapnic respiratory failure
failure to remove carbon dioxide adequately
pnuemothorax, atelectasis and pulmonary edema are all?
disorders of lung inflation (trouble bringing air in)
tension pneumothorax
air enters pleural space but cannot escape (one way valve is created)
Pneumonia, bronchitis and TB are all?
disorders to due infection
Community Acquired Pneumonia is the most common type. It is caused by?
streptococccus pneumoniae
streptococcus pneumoniae causes?
pneumococcal pneumonia
acute bronnchiolitis is caused by
respiratory synctial virus
With primary tuberculosis, the majority of people?
go into latency
with primary (tuberculosis) exposure, immunocompromised people?
become ill
when does latency of tuberculosis become active?
after the second exposure (secondary TB)
in primary TB, what happens when the immune response kills the bacteria and tissue?
it creates a granuloma (Gohn focus)
What is inside the TB granuloma
caseous necrosis
How does secondary TB occur
There is either a second exposure or the latent bacilli become activated when the person becomes imuunocomprmised
disorders due to obstruction?
asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema
what occurs with disorders due to obstruction?
the person has trouble breathing out. (the lungs can inflate fine)
small cell tumours are
neuroendocrine tumours
Neuroendocrine tumours (Small cell carcinoma) produce?
produce ectopic hormones that dont normally come from lungs
Neuroendocrine tumours are
the worst type of lung cancer
