BIOS 255 Test 3 Questions with Correct
Answers
The client's minute ventilation is 5.6 L/min (or
5600mL/min5600 space mL/min
𝟓𝟔𝟎𝟎mL/min)
Calculate the client’s minute ventilation
Calculate the client’s minute ventilation.(Tidal volume = 400 mL; Respiratory rate = 14
breaths/min)
Minute ventilation =
Tidal volume × Respiratory rate
400 mL × 14 = 5600 mL/min (5.6 L/min)
Visceral pleura: Inner layer directly attached to the lungs, covering the lung surface.
Parietal pleura: Outer layer lining the thoracic cavity, including the rib cage and
diaphragm.
A pleural cavity lies between them, containing lubricating fluid.
Describe the layers of the pleural membrane and their location relative to the lungs
The partial pressure of oxygen
pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is approximately 100 mmHg
Conducting Zone Structures
______ comprises the structures that facilitate air passage into and out of the lungs, including
the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and most bronchioles, but not the alveoli
, Trachea
Terminal bronchioles
Larynx
Alveoli
______ are not a conducting zone structures of the respiratory system
Type I Alveolar Cells
AKA squamous alveolar cells or type I pneumocytes
Which alveolar cells form the structure of alveoli and permit rapid gas diffusion between air
and blood?
Superior lobe
Inferior lobe
Divisions of the Left Lung
Internal Respiration
______ is the term that best describes the movement of gases between blood and tissues
diaphragm and external intercostal muscles
Muscles primarily responsible for inspiration (breathing in)
Diaphragm
The ______ is a dome-shaped, muscular partition that separates the thoracic cavity (chest)
from the abdominal cavity (belly)
Diaphragm Muscle
