Oxygenation, Circulation, Perfusion

Question 1

ventilation

Answer 1

process of moving gases in and out of the lungs

Question 2

tidal volume

Answer 2

amount of air exhaled after normal inspiration

Question 3

residual volume

Answer 3

amount of air left after a full exhalation

Question 4

forced vital capacity

Answer 4

the max amount of air removed during a full exhalation

Question 5

perfusion

Answer 5

ability of the cardiovascular system to pump oxygenated blood to the tissues and return deoxygenated blood to the lungs

Question 6

dysrhythmia

Answer 6

disturbance in conduction; irregular heart rhythm

Question 7

cardiac conduction pathway

Answer 7

stimulus starts from SA node –> travels through intermodal pathways to AV node –> bundle of His –> separates left and right –> ends at Purkinje fibers

Question 8

stenosis

Answer 8

hardening of the valves; valves cannot fully open and close

Question 9

angina pectoris

Answer 9

chest pain caused by imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand

Question 10

myocardial infarction

Answer 10

necrosis of heart muscle caused by total blockage of coronary artery

Question 11

atelectasis

Answer 11

collapse of alveoli; a cause of hypoventilation

Question 12

bronchoscopy

Answer 12

pass a flexible tube (bronchoscope) into the patient’s respiratory tract for visualization

Question 13

thoracentesis

Answer 13

involves surgical perforation of chest wall with a needle, into pleural space, to aspirate fluid for diagnostic purposes or to remove effusion

Question 14

Answer 14

complete blood count
