Chapter 3: Respiratory System Flashcards
The process of air movement into and out of the lungs
VENTILATION
Pneumonia caused by a virus, spread by an infected person to a non immune individual
VIRAL PNEUMONIA
What is bronchiectasis? Is it additive/subtractive/both/neither?
Chronic dilation of the brochi, with inflammation and destruction of bronchial walls and cilia
It is ADDITIVE
Mediastinal emphysema
The presence of air or gas in the mediastinum as a result of leakage of air from the bronchial tree.
Miliary tuberculosis
Type of tuberculosis caused by hematogenous spread of the disease, with a characteristic appearance similar to millet seeds, which are small, white grains.
Which of the following is the most common type of bacterial pneumonia?
A) Aspiration pneumonia
B) Legionnaires’ disease
C) Pneumococcal pneumonia
D) Streptococcal pneumonia
C) Pneumococcal pneumonia
Sinusitis
Additive/Subtractive/Both/Neither
Additive
Hemothorax
Pleural effusion containing blood
Hypercapnia
A condition of high carbon dioxide blood levels usually associated with hypoventilation or lung disease
An infant born after only 6 months of gestation could have: A. Cystic fibrosis B. Hyaline membrane disease C. Mediastinal emphysema D. Pectus excavatum
B. Hyaline membrane disease
Pleurisy
Inflammation of the pleura with exudation into the pleural cavity and on its surface. Neither additive or subtractive
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Designation applied to conditions that result in pulmonary obstruction most commonly chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema.
Coin lesion
Small solitary round nodules in the lung tissue.
By use of what radiographic position can bony structures such as clavicles be removed from the apices of the lungs?
Lordotic
Pneumoconioses
Additive
Aspiration Pneumonia
Pneumonia caused by the entrance of foreign particles (e.g Vomitus) aspirated into the lower respiratory tract.
Hypoxemia
A condition in which arterial blood is insufficiently oxygenated.
Legionnaires’ Disease
Severe bacterial pneumonia named for its outbreak at an American Legion convention in Pennsylvania in 1976.
Lack of respiratory function or lack of proper oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange best describes: A: Cardiac Arrest B: Cardiac Arrhythmia C: Respiratory Failure D: Tachypnea
C: Respiratory Failure
Pleural Effusion: Additive/Subtractive/Both/Neither
Additive
Pneumoconioses
A group of occupational diseases characterized by permanent deposits of particulate matter in the lungs and by resultant pulmonary fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis
Congential Disorder affecting exocrine gland function, with respiratory effects, including excessive secretions and obstruction of bronchial system
