3.1 Lung Stuf

Question 1

Pulmonary loop

Answer 1

The right side of the heart picks up the oxygen-poor blood from the body and moves it to the lungs for re-oxygenation

Question 2

Pulmonary Arteries

Answer 2

Transports deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

Question 3

Pulmonary veins

Answer 3

Transports oxygenated blood from lungs to heart

Question 4

Systemic Loop

Answer 4

Once blood is oxygenated the left side of the heart moves blood to the rest of the body providing oxygen to where needed.

Question 5

Fissures

Answer 5

Folds f lung membrane used in order to prevent mechanical damage or infection from affecting neighboring lobes. (Separates lungs in order to prevent spread of disease or physical damage)

Question 6

Horizontal fissures

Answer 6

Separate the superior and middle lobes

Question 7

Oblique fissure

Answer 7

Separates the middle and inferior lobes (on left lung)

Question 8

Upper respiratory tract

Answer 8

Air is pulled in through the nostrils, into nasal cavity, and down the pharynx into the larynx, down into the lower tract

Question 9

Lower respiratory tract

Answer 9

Air moves from upper to lower, through the trachea into the bronchi, from there it goes through the alveoli and exchange for O2 and CO2 is made

Question 10

Conducting zone

Answer 10

This zone is the passageway for air to move in and out of the lungs

Question 11

Respiratory zone

Answer 11

Deep in the lungs where gas exchange occurs (includes bronchioles and alveoli)

Question 12

Nose

Answer 12

Filters air by trapping dirt and microbes in hair and mucus in nostril, also warms air before it enters the lungs.

Question 13

Pharynx and Larynx

Answer 13

Pharynx is the [passageway from noes into trachea, larynx is the voice box that sits on top of trachea

Question 14

Trachea

Answer 14

Passageway from nostrils to lungs (air travels)

Question 15

Bronchi

Answer 15

Bring air from the trachea into the lungs, they branch into smaller tubes called bronchioles.

Question 16

Alveoli

Answer 16

Air sacs that extend from bronchioles and wrap around capillaries. Gas exchange is made here

Question 17

Diaphragm

Answer 17

The muscle that contracts (moves down) pulling air into the lungs when it relaxes (moves up) air is pushed out

Question 18

Cartilaginous rings

Answer 18

Reinforce the trachea and keep open/maintain the main airway

Question 19

Asthma

Answer 19

The bronchioles swells up and becomes inflamed making it difficult to breathe/For good airflow.

Question 20

Pulse Ox

Answer 20

Test to measure the oxygen level in blood normal level =95% to 100%

Question 21

Spirometry

Answer 21

A test that measures how well the lungs are working by measuring how much air you can inhale

Question 22

Tidal volume (TV)

Answer 22

The volume of air in and out without conscious effort

Question 23

Inspirations reserve volume (IRV)

Answer 23

The additional volume of air that can be inhaled with maximum effort after normal inhilation

Question 24

Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

Answer 24

The additional volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal exhalation

Question 25

Vital Capacity

Answer 25

The total volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inhalation

Question 26

Residual Volume (RV)

Answer 26

The volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation. Under normal conditions, the lungs are never completely emptied

Question 27

Total lung capacity (TLC)

Answer 27

Total volume of the lungs: The sim of the vital capacity and residual volume (TLC=VC+RV)

Question 28

Asthma (airway)

Answer 28

Asthma attack/asthma causes a constricted/swelled airway which makes it harder to breathe and produces mucus which can cause extreme problems.

Question 29

FEV1 Numbers

Answer 29

less that 80 means obstruction (less than 40 means severe obstruction)

Question 30

Pulmonary Edema

Answer 30

A lung condition that is characterized by a build up of fluid in the alveoli, causes wheezing, discomfort, coughing, etc.

Question 31

Hyperventilation

Answer 31

Rapid or deep breathing. A response to stress on body caused by panic or anxiety is often referred to as over-breathing.

Question 32

Respiratory therapists

Answer 32

treats breathing problems in patients of all ages. Performing intubations, ventilators, overseas traumas and emergency codes.
