17
Q

what is the parietal pleura

A

outer layer tha lines the inside of the chest wall and diaphragm

18
Q

describe biots breathing

A

no regularity - random apneas, variable tidal volume

19
Q

accumulation of fluid in the lungs

A

pleural effusion

20
Q

what is bronchitis

A

inflammation of the bronchi that causes coughing
can cause obstruction of the alveoli

21
Q

a reactive airway disease
disproportionate reaction to inhalants

22
Q

what is pleural effusion

A

accumulation of fluid in the lungs

23
Q

inflammation of the bronchi that causes coughing
can cause obstruction of the alveoli

A

bronchitis

24
Q

what is a bronchospasm and what would it be associated with

A

a sudden sonctriction in the muscles of the walls of the bronchioles
asthma

25
which lung is narrower and longer
left
26
when is tactile fremitus done
for patients who dont have palpable vibrations
27
what are the 4 functions of the respiratory system
control of respiration changing chest size during respiration inspiration expiration
28
what occurs with the diaphragm with atelectasis
diaphrgam elevates to fill in space
29
describe cheyne-stokes breathing
deeper and faster breathing - gradual decrease - apnea each cycle taking about 30 secs to 2 misn
30
what is a pulmonary embolism
clot in your lung
31
what happens during inspiration
diaphragm contracts, lowers and flattens intercostal muscles contract - elevates rib cage and pushes sternum forward
32
what is the visceral pleural
inner layer that is directly attached to the lungs
33
what are the posterior reference lines
scapular line (starts in the middle fo the scapula and down) vertebral line
34
what are the lateral reference lines
all the axillary lines anterior axillary midaxillary posterior axillary
35
what are the anterior reference lines
midsternal line (goes down through the sternum) midclavicular line (starts halfway through the clavicle and goes down) anterior axillary line (starts just beside the armpit and goes down)
36
what is lobar pneumonia
acute exudative inflammation of the entire lobe
37
what is a chronic presentation of bronchitits
dyspnea
38
acute exudative inflammation of the entire lobe
lobar pneumonia
39
what is kyphosis
increased front to back curve of the spine (excessive forward rounding of the upper back)
40
which lung is wider and shorter
right
41
what is emphysema
overdistension of alveoli due to destruction of tissue lungs are overinlfated and cannot regain their normal structure
42
which is active: inspiration or expiration
inspiration
