Solutions Graded A+|100% Correct
Autonomic nervous system Responsible for influencing activities of involuntary muscles and
glands, divided into parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.
Anaerobic metabolism Breakdown of molecules in cells without oxygen, leading to the
formation of lactic acid instead of entering the next phase of metabolism.
Cerebrum Outermost portion of the brain controlling sensation, thought, speech, and
associative memory.
Cerebellum Coordinates muscle activity and maintains balance.
Brainstem Contains the mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata, regulating
respiratory, cardiac, and vasomotor functions.
Oncotic pressure Keeps fluid inside vessels, promoting fluid movement into the
bloodstream.
Integumentary system Protects the body, regulates temperature, serves as a receptor for
sensation, and aids in water and electrolyte regulation.
Cardiac output Product of heart rate and stroke volume, determining the amount of blood
pumped by the heart per minute.
Patellar fracture Affects the knee, part of the lower extremities including the patella, tibia,
fibula, and other bones.
Nephritis Indicates kidney infection, with the suffix -itis indicating inflammation and
infection.
, Shallow breathing Breathing at a rate below normal, such as 30/min in an infant
Respiratory rate Normal rate for different age groups: neonate (40-60RPM), infant (30-
53RPM), toddler (22-37RPM), preschooler (20-28RPM), school-age child (18-25RPM),
adolescent (12-20RPM), and adults (12-20RPM)
Acidosis Condition reducing blood's oxygen-carrying ability due to increased H+ ions from
pH imbalance
Bones of upper extremities Include humerus (upper arm bone) and radius (lateral forearm
bone)
FDO2 level Fraction of delivered oxygen by a ventilation device to a patient unable to
breathe adequately
Cubital Term closely related to the elbow
Pivot joint Example: where the radius/ulna meet the humerus, allowing rotational
movement
Epiglottitis Inflammation of the epiglottis, causing severe swelling and hindering food entry
into the lower respiratory system
Brain glucose reliance Brain's heavy reliance on circulating glucose for energy due to lack of
glucose storage
Charles' law Gas law disrupted by spinal cord injury affecting diaphragm and intercostal
muscles
