EMS 1021 - Exam 2 Questions and Answers |Complete Solutions Graded A+|100% Correct
Small Intestine Where 90% of digestion products are absorbed (lower end of the SI). Food
mixes with pancreas and liver secretions
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
Large Intestine absorbs final 5-10% of nutrients and passes solid stool
cecum
colon
rectum
Appendix useless tube
is easily obstructed and inflamed/infected
Rectum lowermost end of the colon that stores feces
Gallbladder Small pouch extending from the bile ducts that serves as a reservoir and
concnetrating organ for liver bile.
Biliary system = bile ducts + gallbladder
Kidneys rid the blood of toxic waste produces and control the balance of water and salts
,Waste products are filter and form urine
Renal pelvis are cone shaped areas that collects the urine
Phrenic nerve the nerve that signals the diaphragm to contract and initiate inspiration
Endocrine System a complex message and control system that integrates many body
functions
-hormones are released directly into the blood streem from the endocrine glands
-Hormones have a stimulating or inhibiting effect on the body
Lymphatic system spleen
lymph noes
lymph (thin fluid that transport materials from lymph tissue into the circulatory system
lymph vessels
thyus gland
Works with circulatory system to rid the body of toxins and other harmful materials.
Critical Thinking - Difference between Mild and Severe airway obstruction Mild
-poor air exhcange
-stridor (high pitched noise on inspiration)
-can cough
-start cyanosis
-can still speak or cough
-treat like a severe obstruction
Severe
, -Cannot speak, breath or cough
-may be unconscious
Lung Compliance the ability of the alveoli to fully expand when air is drawn in during
inhalation
Critical Thinking - Removing an Airway Obstruction open airway, and only if you can see,
perform a sweep and suction
If responsive - abdominal thrusts
if unresponsive - CPR to help move obstruction, check mouth and remove object(s) if visible,
otherwise continue obstruction
Cariogenic Shock Pump failure
Caused by inadequate function of the heart (cannot maintain sufficient cardiac output). Results
in pulmonary edema
Obstructive Shock Pump failure
Caused by an obstruction that prevents an adequate volume of blood from being distributed.
Such as:
-pericardial effusion --> cardiac tamponade
-tension pneumothorax
-pulmonary embolism (blocked blood flow)
Distributive shock Poor vessel function
Widespread dilation of the small arterioles, venules or both
