The flow of gases into and out of the alveoli of the lungs is called:
- ANSWER-Ventilation
The flow of blood in the adjacent pulmonary capillaries is called: -
ANSWER-Perfusion
The transfer of gases between the alveoli and the pulmonary
capillaries is called: - ANSWER-Diffusion
____ is the transfer of gases between the alveoli and the
pulmonary capillaries. - ANSWER-Diffusion
______ is the flow of gases into and out of the alveoli of the lungs.
- ANSWER-Ventilation
True or False. If false, explain why it is false.

Apoptosis sets off an inflammatory immune response. -
ANSWER-False, Necrosis sets off an inflammatory immune
response.
Each of the following is true of apoptosis except: - ANSWER-It
sets off an inflammatory immune response
Each of the following can lead to atelectasis except: - ANSWER-
Thrombus
Each of the following is true of necrosis except: - ANSWER-It is
also referred to as programmed cell death
Someone with COPD would exhibit each of the following: -
ANSWER-Increased D-dimer levels
True or False. If false, explain why it is false.
There are no specific tests for diagnosing Parkinson's Disease. -
ANSWER-True

True or False. If false, explain why it is false.
A physician considers Parkinson's Disease as a diagnosis when
4/4 hallmark symptoms are present over time. - ANSWER-False,
A physician considers Parkinson's Disease as a diagnosis when
2/4 hallmark symptoms are present over time.
True or False. If false, explain why it is false.
A DAT scan is necessary for a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease
to be made. - ANSWER-False, while a DAT scan confirms a
diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, it is not necessary, as a
diagnosis is driven by clinical symptoms.
A 10-year-old boy who is having an acute asthma attack is
brought to the ER. He is observed to be sitting up and struggling
to breathe. His breathing is accompanied by use of accessory
muscles, a weak cough, and audible wheezing sounds. His pulse
is rapid and weak, and both heart and breath sounds are distant
on auscultation. His parents relate that his asthma began to
worsen after he developed a "cold," and now he doesn't get relief
from his albuterol inhaler.
, Page |4
Explain the changes in physiologic function underlying his signs
and symptoms. - ANSWER-Recruitment of inflammatory cells
from the bloodstream into the bronchial wall, where they directly
attack the invading organisms and secrete inflammatory
chemicals that are toxic to the organisms causes airway
inflammation. Swelling of the bronchial wall, mucus secretion,
constriction of the airway; bronchial hyper-responsiveness to
stimuli causes airway obstruction or narrowing. They may discuss
on a cellular level as well:
Upon a trigger, the cascade of neutrophils, eosinophils,
lymphocytes, and mast cells cause epithelial injury. This causes
airway inflammation, which further increases hyperresponsiveess
and decreased airflow. Mast cells release histamine and
leukotrienes. These cause major bronchoconstriction,
inflammation, and mucus secretion. Mast cells can trigger multiple
cytokine release, which causes more airway inflammation. The
contraction of the airways and subsequent swelling leads to
further airway obstruction.
Leah is a 25 y/o female who complains of a stuffy nose and
sneezing every Spring and Fall. Benadryl makes her sleepy, and
