EMD 197 CH 7 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
In the normal drive to breathe, chemoreceptors are stimulated by: ANSW✅✅high carbon dioxide
What is the type of metabolism that occurs when energy is created with a balance of adequate
oxygen and nutrients? ANSW✅✅aerobic
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea or common ____ disorders ANSW✅✅Digestive
Carbon dioxide is transported back to the lungs via: ANSW✅✅Plasma
Production of energy occurs in what part of the cell? ANSW✅✅mitochondria
What element does the cell need in order to not dehydrate and die? ANSW✅✅water
The process by which glucose and other nutrients are converted into energy is called:
ANSW✅✅metabolism
A 19-year-old male is reported to have taken too many narcotic pain pills that were prescribed for
his recent knee surgery. He is extremely sleepy with very shallow breathing. His color is pale and his
SPO2 reading is 84%. His body is probably attempting to compensate for his poor level of ventilatory
effort by stimulating the respiratory system to increase rate entitled volume. Normally, respiratory
drive is triggered by changing levels of: ANSW✅✅Carbon dioxide
Which of the following statements provides reasons for the disruption of respiratory control?
ANSW✅✅Stroke, infection, brain trauma, toxins and drugs, and neurologic disorders can
interrupt the control
When carbon dioxide is not exchanged, the net result is high carbon dioxide, condition called ____,
within the body ANSW✅✅hypercapnia
, You are caring for a 25-year-old male patient who has been shot once in the head. The patient is in
extremis (near the point of death) with a noticeable breathing pattern that alternates between no
breathing And fast breathing. Your understanding of pathophysiology leads you to believe the
breathing pattern may be due to damage to the section of his brain responsible for respiratory
control, also known as the: ANSW✅✅Medulla oblongata
The metabolism that creates large amounts of carbon dioxide and lactic acid but generates a little
energy is called: ANSW✅✅anaerobic
Daniel has been performing landscaping on a hot, humid summer day when he is suddenly becomes
dizzy and feels like he might faint. This disruption of fluid balance is most likely caused by:
ANSW✅✅Dehydration
The disruption of lung issue by mechanical forces or medical problems can upset diffusion, which is
defined as: ANSW✅✅The process of gas exchange between the alveoli and the capillaries
Graves' disease is an example of a condition caused by: ANSW✅✅Too many hormones
________ blood returns to the right side of the heart. ANSW✅✅deoxygenated
You are called to a kindergarten class for a boy has fallen while climbing on playground equipment.
The teacher saw him fall and hit his stomach on a step. He was sobbing and holding his abdomen. As
you assess him, you find his skin cool and moist to the touch, his pulse is 132, and his respiratory
rate is 28. What is the boy acting this way? ANSW✅✅He possibly has internal injuries and is in
shock
The net result of respiratory challenges is low oxygen, also called ____ , within the body
ANSW✅✅hypoxia
A decreased number of red blood cells is a condition called ANSW✅✅Anemia
What is the correct order of airflow from the nose to the alveoli in the lungs? ANSW✅✅Nose,
nasal pharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, alveoli
The basic nutrient of the cell and the building block for energy is: ANSW✅✅glucose
