respiratory system

Question 1

intubation

Answer 1

• putting a plastic tube into trachea
• maintain an open airway
• serves as conduit to administer drugs

Question 2

tracheostomy

Answer 2

-an incision in the windpipe made to relieve an obstruction to breathing

Question 3

Heimlich maneuver

Answer 3

• “abdominal thrusts”

- pushing air to generate a cough to dislodge the object

Question 4

pulmonary ventilation

Answer 4

-breathing

Question 5

glottis

Answer 5

• part of the larynx
• contains the vocal cords
• covers the trachea

Question 6

internal respiration

Answer 6

• systemic

- transfer of gas between cells and blood

Question 7

external respiration

Answer 7

• transfer of gas between organs and the outside

- due to elasticity of lungs

Question 8

nasal septum

Answer 8

• separates left and right external nares

- lined by mucous membrain

Question 9

apex

Answer 9

• the tip

- lungs- top of the lungs

Question 10

base

Answer 10

• bottom/ flat side

- lungs- inferior side

Question 11

cardiac notch

Answer 11

• lateral deflection of the anterior border of the left lung

- produced for the space taken by the heart

Question 12

fissures

Answer 12

• double fold of visceral pleura

- forms the lobes of the lungs

Question 13

alveolus

Answer 13

-tiny sacs in the lungs for gas exchange

Question 14

hilus

Answer 14

-where the bronchi, blood vessels, and nerve fibers enter the lungs

Question 15

pleurisy

Answer 15

• pleuritis
• inflammation of the pleura
• can make breathing extremely painful

Question 16

function of goblet cells

Answer 16

• secrete mucus

- in ciliated and non citliated columnar

Question 17

function of sinuses

Answer 17

• lighten the skull
• chambers to improve our voices
• produce mucus that moisturizes the inside of noses

Question 18

path of air

Answer 18

• external nares
• nasal cavities (sinuses)
• pharynx
• larynx
• trachea
• bronchi
• lungs
• alveoli
• capillaries

Question 19

cartilage in larynx

Answer 19

• thyroid cartilage (adams apple)

- cricoid cartilage (provide attachments for the muscles and ligaments involved in opening and closing the airway)

Question 20

parasinuses

Answer 20

• frontal
• sphenoid
• ethnoid
• maxillary
• named after the name of the bones surrounding

Question 21

ways to clear an obstructed airway

Answer 21

• Heimlich maneuver
• intubation
• tracheotomy

Question 22

parts of the pharynx

Answer 22

• nasopharynx (concerning breathing only)
• oropharynx
• laryngo

Question 23

functions of the nasal cavity

Answer 23

• moisturize (mucous)
• filter (cilia)
• warm (blood)

Question 24

how does the nasal cavity warm the air

Answer 24

• capillaries in the nostrils

- dilate to cover more surface area to warm

Question 25

vital capacity

Answer 25

- maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after maximum inhalation - average of 3-5 liters

Question 26

upper respiratory system

Answer 26

- external nares - nasal cavity - paranasal sinuses - pharynx

Question 27

lower respiratory system

Answer 27

- larynx - trachea - bronchi - bronchioles - alveoli

Question 28

nasal vestibule

Answer 28

-space in the flexible tissues of the nose
