Basic Respi Flashcards
Respiratory System
Center for Respiration BP and HR regulation
Medulla oblongata
Respiratory System
Breeding sites for MRSA
Nostrils
Respiratory System
Is a reflex that clear upper respiratory tract
Sneezing
Respiratory System
Is a reflex that clear Lower respiratory tract
Coughing
Respiratory System
Primary site for gas exchange
Alveolar capillary membrane
Respiratory System
Primary stimuli for respiration
Increase CO2
Respiratory System
Premature newborn must receive a low flow oxygen.
Giving High flow oxygen will result to??
Blindness
Retrolental fibroplasia
Respiratory System
A surfactant lipoprotein that decrease the tension in the alveoli during inhalation and deflation
2 types of surfactant:
Lecithin
Sphygomyelin
Respiratory System
DOC to promote lung maturity
Betamethasone
Respiratory System
DOC to promote lung maturity
Betamethasone
Respiratory System
Normal LS RATIO
2:1
Respiratory System
Govern the inflation and deflation processes of the alveoli.
Automafically deflates the alveoli once it reaches the maximum elasticity
Hering Breuer reflex
Normal Lung Volume
the volume of the air enters and leaves the lung during normal respiration
TIDAL VOLUME
Normal Lung Volume
the volume of air that stays inside the lungs to prevent collapse
RESIDUAL VOLUME
Normal Lung Volume
the volume of the air that can be forcibly inhaled after a normal inhalation
INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (IRV)
Normal Lung Volume
the volume of the air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal exhalation
EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME
Breath Sounds
inspiratory sounds last longer than expiratory ones
vesicular
Breath Sounds
inspiratory and expiratory sounds are about equal
broncho-vesicular
tracheal
Breath Sounds
expiratory sounds last longer than inspiratory one
bronchial
Breath Sounds
inspiratory and expiratory sounds are about equal
tracheal
broncho-vesicular
Breath Sounds: LOcation
Breath Sounds over most of the both lungs
vesicular
Breath Sounds: LOcation
often in the 1st and 2nd intercostal space anteriorly and between scapula
broncho-vesicular
