Q

Inflammation or infection of the lungs is called what?

A

pleuritis / pleurisy

16
Q

__ is a collapsed lung.

A

Atelectasis

17
Q

what causes ateleasis?

A
  1. obstruction of respiratory passageway
  2. compression of lung by invasion of thoracic space
  3. loss of contact bt parietal and visceral pleura
18
Q

Air in the pleural space is called what?

A

pneumothorax

19
Q

Atelectasis occurs after or before a pneumothorax?

20
Q

Blood entering the pleural space is called what?

A

hemothorax

21
Q

__ is exchange of gas between atmosphere and body cells.

A

respiration

22
Q

what events occur during respiration?

A
  1. pulmonary ventilation
  2. external respiration
  3. transport of gases in blood lungs to body tissues
  4. internal respiration
23
Q

What is the driving force of air flow?

24
__ says pressure of gas is inversely proportional to volume of the container.
boyle's law
25
you can alter pressure in the body by doing what?
changing the volume of the lungs
26
when do the lungs expand?
P (outside) > P (inside)
27
__ (elasticity) of the lungs must be good for this mechanism to work well.
Compliance
28
what muscles are used in normal inhalation?
diaphragm | external intercostals
29
what muscles are used in deep breathing?
diaphragm external intercostals ** pectoralis minor ** scalene muscles
30
what muscles are used in forced exhalation?
``` internal intercostals rectus abdominis (other abdominal muscles) ```
31
what muscles are used in normal exhalation?
none | it is a passive process since it is the relaxation of muscles that forces air out
32
__ is damage to terminal bronchioles and alveoli
Emphysema | - become less elastic
