EMT FISDAP Airway 2026 Exam
Questions and Verified Answers |
Already Graded A+
Anatomy of the Upper Airway - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Nose, Mouth, Jaw, Oral
Cavity, Pharynx, and Larynx
Anatomy of lower airway - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Trachea, bronchioles, main
bronchi, and alveoli
Hypercarbia - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Increased carbon dioxide level in the
bloodstream.
Hypoxia - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Low oxygen saturation of the body, not enough
oxygen in the blood
,apnea - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔absence of breathing
minute volume - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The volume of air that moves in and out of
the lungs per minute; calculated by multiplying the tidal volume and
respiratory rate; also called minute ventilation.
agonal gasps - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔abnormal breathing pattern characterized by
slow, gasping breaths, sometimes seen in patients in cardiac arrest
anaerobic metabolism - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The metabolism that takes place in
the absence of oxygen; the principle product is lactic acid.
ataxic respirations - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Irregular, ineffective respirations that
may or may not have an identifiable pattern.
Alveoli - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the
movement of gases between air and blood (where Oxygen and CO2
exchange)
Bronchioles - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔smallest branches of the bronchi
bronchi - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The passages that direct air into the lungs (larger
airways)
, Cheyne-Stokes respiration - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔pattern of breathing
characterized by a gradual increase of depth and sometimes rate to a
maximum level, followed by a decrease, resulting in apnea
Dyspnea - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔difficulty breathing
dead space - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The portion of the tidal volume that does not
reach the alveoli and thus does not participate in gas exchange.
carina - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Point at which the trachea bifurcates (divides) into
the left and right mainstem bronchi.
Trachea - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Allows air to pass to and from lungs
Epiglottis - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A flap of tissue that seals off the windpipe and
prevents food from entering.
inhalation - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the act of taking in air as the diaphragm
contracts and pulls downward
internal respiration - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Exchange of gases between cells of
the body and the blood
hypoxic drive - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A "backup system" to control respiration;
senses drops in the oxygen level in the blood.
