Basic tenets of HIPAA and pt privacy

✓ Lung expansion - pleura: two thin, smooth layers of tissue with thin film
of fluid in between allow frictionless movement across one another.
Inhalation: Chest expands, creates negative pressure in thoracic cavity, parietal pleura pulls
the visceral, which pull the lungs.
Exhalation: Diagphragm/intercostals relax, thoracic cage contracts, pressure in cavity rises,
air is expelled. Normally passive. No energy required. Exhaled air contains 16% o2.
Diaphragm: primary muscle for respiration. Usually involuntary but can be controlled
voluntarily. Esophagus and great vessels pass through the diaphragm. Dome shaped until
contraction during inhalation; moves down and expands the size of the thoracic cavity.
Intercostal muscles.
Alveoli
✓ All airway structures serve to get air to this point. Only place where o2
and co2 are exchanged. Contact w/ pulmonary capillaries. Pulmonary
capillaries diffuse cabon dioxide from the body to the alveoli. Alveloi
diffuse o2 from respiratory system to the body. Surfactant is: a substance
that helps keep the alveoli from collapsing.
What each number in BP represent
✓ Systolic: the pressure exerted during contracted of the left ventricle.
Diastolic: the pressure between contractions. The resting phase. This is constant.

Characteristics and differences of types of muscle tissue
✓ Smooth: involuntary located within the blood vessels and digestive tract.
Skeletal: voluntary that attaches to the skeleton.
Cardiac: heart
Diaphragm and intercostals are involuntary but are can also be voluntary.
Locations/function of liver
✓ Think filter. Remember antifreeze OD and whiskey. RUQ. Helps break
down fats, filters toxins, prodcues cholesterol.
Location/function of spleen
✓ LUQ. Filters the blood and helps repair damaged blood platelets.
Location/function of pancreas
✓ Aids in digestion, produces insulin, helps regulate CBG levels. Epigastric
region.
Location/function of esophagus
