41
Q

What muscles are used for active breathing

A

Diaphragm, neck, intercoastal, abdominal, pectoral

42
Q

Difference between ventilation and respiration

A

Ventilation= the act of breathing in and out
Respiration= the gas exchange

43
Q

How does gas exchange occur in the alveoli

A

Gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli by a process called diffusion, which occurs between the surface of alveoli and pulmonary capillary beds. Oxygen, once inhaled into the lungs, is passed from the alveoli into the bloodstream for distribution to the rest of the body.

44
Q

What part of the body controls breathing

45
Q

What molecule controls breathing rate

A

Carbon dioxide

46
Q

What is the difference between Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries

A

Arteries- carries blood from heart to body
Veins- carries blood from body to heart
Capillaries- allows transfer of O2, CO2, nutrients, and waste between body tissue and blood

47
Q

Areas you can determine pulse

A

Carotid(neck), radius (wrist), femoral (groin), brachial (Bicep), popliteal(back of knee).

48
Q

Components of the blood and their function

A

Red blood cells- carry O2 to cells and transport CO2 away from cells and to the lungs

Luekocytes- fight infection

Plasma- contains electrolytes and fluid

Platelets- clot blood

49
Q

Difference between systole and diastole

A

Systole- pressure when the heart contracts

Diastole- pressure when the heart is at rest

50
Q

What is cardiac output and how is it determined

A

-the volume of blood that the heart pumps per minute

Determined by the equation heart rate × stroke volume= cardiac output

51
Q

What is vascular resistance

A

How dialated/Constricted the blood vessels are

52
Q

What does the parasympathetic nervous system do to the heart? Sympathetic?

A

Parasympathetic- slows the heart and makes it beat more weakly

Sympathetic- controls the release of epinephrine/norepinephrine to stimulate the heart and blood vessels. Improves ability to cope with stress/ engages fight or flight

53
Q

3 parts of the brain stem

A

Midbrain, pons, Medulla oblongata

54
Q

What does the brain stem do

A

Controls things such as breathing, heart rate, sleeping, consciousness, BP, temp regulation, swallowing and coughing.

55
Q

8 types of shock

A
  1. Cardiogenic
  2. Obstructive
  3. Distributive
    A. Septic
    B. Neurogenic
    C. Anaphylactic
    D. Psychogenic
  4. Hypovolemic
