WELL DETAILED
Normal Respiratory Rate for infants - ANSWER 30-60 breaths/min
Normal Respiratory Rate for children - ANSWER 15-30 breaths/min
Normal Respiratory Rate for adults - ANSWER 12-20 breaths/min
Normal pulse rate for infants (0-5) - ANSWER 100-160
Normal pulse rate for children (5-10) - ANSWER 70-120
Normal pulse rate for adults (10+) - ANSWER 60-100
Life support chain - ANSWER all cells require oxygen, nutrients, and waste removal
The ABCs - ANSWER airway, breathing, circulation
Nasopharynx - ANSWER region of the pharynx at the back of the nose and above the
soft palate
Nasal Air Passage - ANSWER A channel for airflow through the nose. The walls of the
nasal passages are coated with respiratory mucous membranes, which contain innumerable
tiny hair-like cells that move waves of mucus toward the throat.
1
, Pharynx - ANSWER throat; passageway for food to the esophagus and air to the larynx
oropharynx - ANSWER central portion of the pharynx between the roof of the mouth
and the upper edge of the epiglottis
mouth - ANSWER uvula, tongue, gingiva, nasal cavity, hard palette, soft palette,
entrance to auditory tube, upper lip, hyoid bone
Eppiglottis - ANSWER small flap of cartilage that closes over the trachea to prevent
food from entering the respiratory tract; common sight for airway obstruction, cricoid
cartilage (Sellick's Maneuver)
Larynx - ANSWER voice box; passageway for air moving from pharynx to trachea;
contains vocal cords
trachea - ANSWER Allows air to pass to and from lungs
bronchioles - ANSWER smallest branches of the bronchi
main bronchus - ANSWER branches to each lung from the trachea
alveoli - ANSWER "leaves on the branches", what takes in the oxygen and other gases
when you breathe, people who smoke clog them up, where air exchange happens
Hypoxia/Hypoxic - ANSWER lack of oxygen, tells body to breathe faster, your brain
doesn't work well when in this state; common with anxiety/panic attacks, if you get too
_______ you pass out
