Don't know?




what is the purpose of the respiratory ventilate and oxygenate the remaining body systems and tissues
system?

passageway by which air enters and leaves the body. includes the nose, mouth,
airway
pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs

alveolar ventilation the amount of air that reaches the alveoli

forcing air or oxygen into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has
artificial ventilation
inadequate breathing (positive pressure ventilation)

, apnea no breathing

contraction of smooth muscle that lines the bronchial passages that results in a
bronchoconstriction
decreased internal diameter of the airway and increased resistance to airflow

cellular respiration exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and circulating blood

cyanosis blush color of the skin due to insufficient oxygen levels in the blood

process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of
diffusion
low concentration

of oxygen to a patient

exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulating blood
pulmonary respiration
in the pulmonary capillaries

respiratory arrest when breathing stops completely

increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of breath (doesn't need
respiratory distress
ventilation)

reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen intake is not sufficient enough to
respiratory failure
support life (needs ventilation)

retractions pulling in the skin and soft tissue between the ribs when breathing

air enters the body through the mouth and nose. posterior and inferior to the mouth
upper airway
and nasal passages, air enters the pharynx

what are the three regions of the pharynx? oropharynx, nasopharynx, laryngopharynx

oropharynx where the oral cavity joins the pharynx

nasopharynx where the nasal passages empty into the pharynx

structures surrounding the entrance to the trachea; point of division between the
laryngopharynx
upper airway and the lower airway

what is the entry point into the larynx glottis opening
called?

large leaf-like structure that protects the glottis to prevent food and foreign objects
epiglottis
from entering the trachea
