radiographic pathology chapter 3
ventilation correct answers involves the movement of air in and out of the lungs
diffusion correct answers gas exchange between the lungs and circulatory system
upper respiratory tract correct answers nose, mouth, pharynx, and larynx
lower respiratory tract correct answers trachea, bronchi, alveoli, and lungs
parietal pleura correct answers pleura lines thoracic cavity
visceral pliura correct answers pleura that adheres directly to lung tissue
anterior mediastium correct answers mediastium that consist of thyroid, and thymus
gland
middle mediastium correct answers mediastium that consist of the heart and great
vessels, esophagus, and trachea
posterior mediastium correct answers mediastium that consist of descending aorta and
the spine
bony structures of the thorax correct answers ribs, sternum, and thoracic vertebra
maxillary and ethmoid sinuses correct answers sinuses that present at birth
frontal sinuses correct answers sinuses that developed shortly after birth
sphenoid sinuses correct answers sinus that begins to develop around the age of 2-3
chest radiography correct answers examination most frequently performed in radiology
department
10 posterior ribs correct answers number of ribs that should provide adequate
inspiration
pectus excavatum correct answers depressed sternum
mediastinum correct answers contains all thoracic organs except the lungs
because the thymus is normally large correct answers why mediastinum appears wide
in infant
, referred as the "sail sign"
mediastinal emphysema correct answers pneumomediastinum-occurs when their has
been a disruption in the esophagus or airway and air is trapped in the mediastinum
subcutaneous emphysema correct answers the presents of air or gas in the
subcutaneous tissue of the body
CT correct answers method of choice for evaluation of pulmonary adenopathy
CT correct answers sensitive in detecting emboli within the thoracic vessels
endotrcheal (ET) tube correct answers large plastic tube inserted through the patient's
nose or mouth into the trachea below the vocal cord and above corina , helps to
manage patient's air way
chest tube correct answers large plastic tube inserted through the chest wall between
the ribs. It allows drainage of air or fluid from thoracic cavity
Central venous pressure (CVP) lines correct answers provides an alternative injection
site, placed into distal superior venacava just above the right atrium
pulmonary artery catheter correct answers Swan-Ganz catheter, multilumen catheter
that serves to evaluate cardiac function
Hickman or a Port-a-Cath catheters correct answers typically chemotherapeutics
catheters
pacemaker correct answers inserted under the right clavicle, with the electrodes placed
in to the right ventricle
respiratory failure correct answers term used to describe lack of respiratory function or
lack or oxygen and CO2 exchange
hypoxemia correct answers low oxygen levels within arterial blood and results from the
failure of the gas exchange function
hypercapnia correct answers failure of ventilation resulting in the inability to move air
into and out of the lungs, with increase CO2
Arterial blood gas (ABG) measurement correct answers primary method for diagnosing
respiratory failure
cystic fibrosis correct answers congenital disorder affecting exocrine gland function,
with respiratory effectts, including excessive secretions, obstruction of the bronchial
system, infection, and tissue damage
