What is sent from the capillaries into the what

Carbon dioxide; alveoli

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Oxygen is delivered where

To the body's cells

Carbon dioxide is then...

Expelled

Muscle contractions

Enlarge the volume during inspiration and decreases volume during expiration

Major muscles

Diaphragm and intercostals muscles

The diaphragm lowers when it...

Contracts

What allows more space in the thorastic cavity?

The contraction of the diaphragm

Intercostals pulls...

The ribs upward and outward

Pharynx

throat

What's the 3 parts of the pharynx (throat)

1. ) nasopharynx 2. ) oropharynx 3. ) laryngopharynx

Nasopharynx

Lies above the soft palate, it contains the pharyngeal tonsils

Oropharynx

Back portion of the mouth, contains the palatine tonsils

Laryngopharynx

Bottom section

Esophagus

Passageway for food

Epiglottis

Flap that covers the larynx

Aspiration

Food goes into the larynx, helps you not choke

Larynx

Voice box

The place where air passes to the trachea

Air goes into the

Larynx

Voice box is where

The sound of speech and singing are produced

What determines the pitch of sound

The size and thickness of the cords

Males voice box

Are thicker and longer vocal cords

Thyroid cartilage

Or Adam's apple supports the larynx

Asthma

Obstruction of the airways

Bronchitis

Inflammation of the bronchi

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Term for any disease that causes chronic obstruction of the bronchial tubes and lungs

Epistaxis

(Nose bleed) rupture of a blood vessel

Anthracosis

Black lung, caused by coal dust in the lungs

Emphysema

Elderly smokers, build up of carbon dioxide

Lung cancer

Exposure to carcinogens

Pneumonia

Inflammation and infection in lungs

Pleurisy

Inflammation of the pleura

Hemoptysis

Chronic lung disease, tuberculosis, lung cancer, trama

Tuberculosis

Infectious disease by bacteria

Upper respiratory infection

(URI)

1 inhalation + 1 exhalation

1 respiration (complete breath)

Observe the clients

Chest movements for 1 minute

In adults and older children observe...

Chest movements

Children under 7 use...

Abdominal movement

Rate

Number of breaths per minute

Normal adult rate

12-20 breaths per minute

Respiratory rates

Decreases as a person increases I'm size

Hypoventilation

Decrease in rate Caused by meds and lack of oxygen

Pattern

Should be regular

Quality

Seen in volume and effort

Volume

Amount of air taken in

Effort

Amount of work

Crackles or rales

Cause by fluid in the small airways

Wheezing

Sounds that are heard continuously during inspiration and expiration

Stridor

Refers to high pitched harsh sound heard during inspiration

Stridor is caused by

Obstruction of the upper air ways

Pleural run sounds

Low pitched grating or creaking sounds that occur when inflamed pleural surfaces run together during respiration

What regulates breathing unconsciously

The brain stem

Bronchial tree leads to the...

Terminal branchial

How many alveolis are there

Over 300,000

What are 3 jobs of the conducting zones

Transports Purifies Humidifies

What's the 5 parts of the conducting zone?

Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and epiglottis
