Chapter 22 homeostatic imbalances Flashcards
lung collapse
Atelectasis
collapse of alveoli
plugged bronchioles
wound that admits air into pleural cavity
pneumothorax
low lung compliance from increasing amounts of less flexible connective tissue developing
fibrosis
infants; non-expansive/ collapsed alveoli
respiratory distress syndrome
inadequate O2 delivery to tissues
hypoxia
rate and quantity of alveolar ventilation of CO2 exceeds bodys production of CO2
hyperventilation
CO2 levels decline in the blood
hypocapnia
increase of pH in the blood
respiratory alkalosis
Brain BV constrict, reduces blood flow to brain
cerebral ischemia
chronic bronchitis and emphysema; irreversible
COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
inflammation of airways
asthma
inflammation of bronchi
bronchitis
infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis
tuberculosis
