|| || || || || || || || || ||
being diffused correctly in the blood or ventilation is too low
|| || || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || ||

What happens physiologically during hypovolemic shock?
|| || || || ||
There is inadequate amount of fluid in the circulatory system
|| || || || || || || || ||
How does the body maintain adequate perfusion?
|| || || || || ||
Perfusion Triangle: The heart, the blood vessels, and the blood; The heart
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
pumps blood adequately, there is enough blood to fill the circulatory system
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
and the vessels are properly dilated to maintain that level (6L)
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Where does gas exchange happen in the respiratory system?
|| || || || || || || ||
the alveoli of the lungs via perfusion
|| || || || || ||
What are the vertebrae from superior to inferior level?
|| || || || || || || ||
cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, sacral
|| || ||
Which layers of the skin provide shock absorption?
|| || || || || || ||
, Subcutaneous
What happens when the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated?
|| || || || || || || ||
fight or flight response
|| || ||
What is glycolysis? || ||
process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy (ATP)
|| || || || || || || || || ||
What is the formula for cardiac output?
|| || || || || ||
CO = Stroke volume * heart rate
|| || || || || ||
What is the pleurae? || || ||
2-layered membrane that covers each lung in order to cushion the lungs and
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
reduce any friction btwn the lungs, rib cage, and chest cavity.

|| || || ||
bring air into the lungs upon contraction and expel it via relaxation
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
What happens when the right ventricle contracts?
|| || || || || ||
deoxygenated blood moves through the pulmonary arteries where it is sent
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
to the lungs to be oxygenated
|| || || || ||
When do you apply suction to the suction catheter?
|| || || || || || || ||
as you withdraw the catheter, in a circular motion. Measure depth like OPA
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
What is the primary function of the autonomic nervous system?
|| || || || || || || || ||
