CORRECT WELL DETAILED
Anoxia - ANSWER a lack of oxygen
Apena - ANSWER the cessation of breathing
Asthma - ANSWER an acute respiratory disorder characterized by unusually sensitive,
irritated conducing airways
Atelactasis - ANSWER ateles (incomplete) and ekatasis (expansion); alveolar collapse
due to loss of surfactant
Bronchitis - ANSWER inflammation of the bronchial lining
Compliance - ANSWER an indication of the lungs resilience and ability to expand; the
lower the compliance, the greater the force required to fill and empty the lungs; the greater
the compliance, the easier it is to fill and empty the lungs
Dyspena - ANSWER difficult or labored breathing
Hypercapnia - ANSWER An abnormally high level of carbon dioxide in the blood
Hypocapnia - ANSWER An abnormally low level of carbon dioxide in the blood
1
,Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) - ANSWER The amount of air that can be maximally
inhaled after a normal inspiration
Pneumothroax - ANSWER the entry of air into the pleural cavity
Pulmonary Embolism - ANSWER blockage of a branch of a pulmonary artery producing
an interruption of blood flow to a group of lobules and/or alveoli
Septal Cells - ANSWER Secrete surfactant
Surfactant - ANSWER Oily secretion that reduces surface tension and prevents alveolar
collapse
Quiet Breathing - ANSWER Inhalation involves muscular contractions but exhalation is
passive
Forced Breathing - ANSWER Both inhalation and exhalation are active
This type of cartilage is located slightly below the thyroid cartilage, it's the first
cartiloaginous right of the trachea - ANSWER Cricoid Cartliage
This cartilage is ring shaped, protects the glottis and the entrance to the trachea -
ANSWER Cricoid Cartilage
Also known as the "Adam's Apple." It's inferior to the hyoid bone and superior to the cricoid
cartilage, protects the glottis and the entrance to the trachea - ANSWER Thyroid
Cartilage
Air passing through the glottis vibrates the vocal cords, producing sound waves. -
ANSWER Vocal Pitch
2
, What sound is produced when the vocal cords are short and thin and they vibrate rapidly? -
ANSWER High-pitched tone
Long, thick vocal cords vibrate more slowly, producing what kind of sound? -
ANSWER Low-pitched tone
How many cartilages make up the tracheal wall? - ANSWER 15-20 cartilages
What are the effects of the sympathetic activation the bronchioles? - ANSWER It leads
to relaxation of smooth muscles in the walls of the bronchioles, causing bronchodilation
What are the effects of the parasympathetic activation on bronchioles? -
ANSWER Leads to a contraction of the smooth muscles, causing bronchoconstriction
The absorption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide by the cells -
ANSWER Internal Respiration
All the processes involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body's
interstitial fluids and the external environment - ANSWER External Respiration
This is a part of external respiration; gas exchange across the respiratory membrane
between alveolar air spaces and alveolar capillaries and across the capillary cell membranes
between blood and other tissues - ANSWER Diffusion
A part of external respiration; it's the physical movement of air into and out of the lungs. -
ANSWER Ventilation
