Exam 3 Practice Questions (Respiratory & Lymphatic) Flashcards
A last breath can be reffered to as?
Residual Volume
Complete/partial collapse of the lung
Atelectasis
Patient compaining of dyspnea post-surgery and X-ray showed alveolar fluid. What is the patient diagnosed with?
Pulmonary edema
Which of the following cells transport Carbon Dioxide or oxygen to the cells?
Carbaminohemoglobins and oxyhemoglobins (saturated hemoglobins)
- Where does systemic respiration take place?
Tissue, alveoli and capillaries
The vital capacity (volume of air breathed out after deepest inhalation) is equal to the:
TV (tidal volume – amt. of air inhaled during normal breath)
+IRV (inspiratory reserve volume – maximum air inhaled above TV)
+ERV (expiratory RV – maximum air from end-expiratory position)
- The nurse is assessing the patient’s ventilation; she should define it as:
Inhalation and exhalation that reaches the alveoli of the lungs
Non-specific immunity vs specific immunity
- Non-specific is what you’re born with (general cells like neutrophiles/macrophages, natural killer cells)
- Specific is memory and is more efficent (T cells, B cells)
Lower respiratory tract includes all the structures below the…
Larynx
(trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli)
The Cricoid cartilage is… (6)
Part of the larynx
(thyroid, epiglottis, cricoid, artenoid, corniculate, cuneiform)
Primary vs secondary bronchi
Primary - lungs
Secondary - lobes
Sum of all volumes in lung
Total lung capacity
What becomes a tissue macrophage after a brief stay in the blood?
Monocytes
A nurse was observing the way the patient’s chest rising and relaxing during normal breathing while laying down, she is checking his
Orthopnea
Where in the respiratory tract do you find goblet cells?
Epithelium of conducting airways (mucous areas)
Smallest % of normal cells in a differential count is
Basophils
Site of primary gas exchange
Alveolar capillaries
Inner layer of conducting organs
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Cells that produce surfactant
Type II Pneumocytes
Physiological factors that affects pulmonary ventilation
Temperature, acidity (pH), 2-3 DPG
Exhalation begins when?
Diaphragm and external intercostals relax
dominant method of carbon dioxide transport in blood
Bicarbonate ions
Identify
A) Terminal bronchiole
B) Respiratory Bronchiole
C) Alveolar ducts
D) Alveolar saccule
E) Pulmonary alveoli
