16
Q

Bronchioles

A
  • increasingly smaller airways off the intrapulmonary bronchi
17
Q

Alveoli

A
  • smallest airways
  • where 02 and CO2 are exchanged
18
Q

Inhalation or inspiration

A
  • breathing in
19
Q

exhalation or expiration

A

breathing out

20
Q

respiratory rate

A
  • # respiration per minute
  • one inspiration & one expiration = single respiration
21
Q

Dyspnea

A

difficulty breathing

22
Q

Apnea

A

not breathing

23
Q

Tachypnea

A

fast breathing

24
Q

bradypnea

A

slow breathing

25
Q

hypernea

A

increase rate or depth

26
Q

hypopnea

A

decrease rate or depth (slow or shallow)

27
Q

hyperventilation

A

hyperpnea > increase rate & depth
- results in too much CO2 being expelled so body levels decrease

28
Q

Agonal breathing

A

respirations that occur at death

29
Q

Respiration

A

the exchange of 02 & CO2

30
Q

Ox/ i, ox/o, ox/y

A

oximeter
oxyhemoglobin
oxygen

31
Q

Capn/o = carbon dioxide

A

capnometer

32
Q

acid base balance pH

A

low pH- 1
Neutral - 7
Hi pH - 14

33
Q

Acidosis

A

a decrease in blood pH

34
Q

metabolic for acidosis

A

a decrease in blood pH due to metabolic factors (diabetic ketoacidosis)

35
Q

Respiratory for Acidosis

A

a decrease in blood pH due to an increase in blood levels of CO2 resulting from decreased ventilation
- CO2 can build when you don’t breath often enough

36
Q

Alkalosis

A

an increase in blood pH

37
Q

metabolic for alkalosis

A

a increase in blood pH due to metabolic factors (severe prolonged vomiting is a sign of decreased CI-)

38
Q

respiratory for alkalosis

A

an increase in blood pH due to a decrease in blood levels of CO2 resulting from increase ventilation
( you blow off too much CO2, if you breath too much)
