Chapter 10 Flashcards
The movement of gases from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Diffusion
The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes place between the alveoli and circulating blood
Pulmonary respiration
The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes place between the cells and circulating blood
Cellular respiration
COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Anemia
A disease that causes low amounts of hemoglobin in the blood
The exchange of gases
Respiration
The exchange of gases between alveoli and the blood
External respiration
Gas exchange Between the blood and the cells
Internal respiration
Low levels of oxygen
Hypoxia
Chemoreceptors
Special sensor in the cardiovascular system detect increasing levels of carbon dioxide as well as low levels of oxygen
The production of breathing to the point where oxygen intake is not sufficient to support life
Respiratory failure
When breathing completely stops
Respiratory arrest
Adequate breathing
Need supplemental oxygen due to a medical or traumatic condition
Respiratory failure interventions
Assisted ventilation pocket mask bag valve mask or FROPVD
Respiratory arrest interventions
Artificial ventilation pocket mask bag valve mask FROPVD
10-12 breaths per min adult
20 breaths per min infant or child
