Answer 1

A. Water particles suspended in air
B. Particulate water in a gas
C. Must 
D. Fog
E. Stability

Question 2

What is ability of particles to remain stable suspended in a gas

Answer 2

Stability of an aerosol

Question 3

Factors affecting stability

Answer 3

1. Concentration
   a. Number of particles
   b. More particles bump together
2. Size
   a. Large particles rain out
3. Relative humidity
   a. Low relative humidity of the gas causes particles to evaporate

Question 4

Depth of tracheobronchial tree that a particle reaches

Answer 4

Penetration

Question 5

Particles rain out at a particular area

Answer 5

Deposition

Question 6

Factors influencing penetration and deposition

Answer 6

A. Gravity
B. Kinetic Motion
C.Inertial Impaction

Question 7

Factors influencing penetration and deposition: what is gravity

Answer 7

The larger the particles the more likely to deposit or rain out

Question 8

Factors influencing penetration and deposition: What is Kinetic motion

Answer 8

The more particles move, the more likely to bump together, coalesce and rain out

Question 9

Factors influencing penetration and deposition: inertial impaction

Answer 9

When airways narrow and alter direction,aerosol particle may continue on their same path and deposit by bumping into airway walls

Question 10

Ventilators Pattern

Answer 10

1. Alterable factor influencing deposition and retention

2. Ideal patterns slow,deep breath with a inspiratory hold

Question 12

What are the clearance methods

Answer 12

A. Mobilization of mucous blanket 
B. Cough
C. Lymphatic uptake 
D. Phagocytes
E. Mechanical Suctioning

Question 13

What are the indications of clearance

Answer 13

1. To thin secretions
2. To improve cough
3. To deliver medications
4. Humidification of artificial
