Respiratory Lecture Flashcards
What separates the superior and inferior lobes of the lung?
Left oblique fissure
What is the structure that creates the forked branches to the left and right lungs?
Carina
Which is the common function between the circulatory and respiratory systems?
O2 and CO2 exchange between the lungs and blood
Scar tissue and decreased flexibility of the thoracic cage play a part in what obstacle to breathing?
Lung Compliance
Which muscles do not play any part in breathing?
Biceps brachii
Which bone does not house sinuses?
Temporal
Match the conditions to the descriptions
Hypoxia - Not enough oxygen being delivered to the tissues
Acute mountain sickness - Symptoms of headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness; in a worst case scenario swelling on the brain and lungs
Emphysema - Breakdown of elastin in the connective tissue of lungs destroying the walls of the alveoli and a loss of lung elasticity and trapping air
Tuberculosis - Symptoms including fever, night sweats, weight loss, cough, and spitting up blood
Surfactant in premies play a part in what obstacle to breathing?
Alveolar Surface Tension
Match the measurements to the description
TV - Amount of air in or out in a normal resting breath
IRV - Extra air inhaled after a normal breath in it
ERV - Amount of air forced out after a normal breath out
RV - Leftover air after forcing air out of the lungs
Match the voice production terms with their descriptions
Loudness - Depends upon the force of air
Sound - Shaped into language by muscles of the pharynx, tongue, soft palate, and lips
Speech - Intermittent release of expired air while opening and closing the glottis
Pitch - Determined by the length and tension of the vocal cords. Examples: a flute makes a higher sound and a tuba makes a lower sound
Asthma is an example of what obstacle to breathing?
Airway resistance
What separates the middle and inferior lobes of the lung?
Right oblique failure
Put the gasses in order by approximate percentage from most to lease.
1- Nitrogen
2- Oxygen
3- Water vapor
4- Carbon dioxide
Match the conditions to the descriptions
COPD - Irreversible decrease in the ability to force air out of the lungs due to emphysema or chronic bronchitis
Apnea -Not breathing when CO2 concentration is too low
Hyperventilation - Increased depth and rate of breathing greater than needed to balance pH
Asthma - An immune response causing airway inflammation and bronchospasms
What separates the superior and middle lobes of the lung?
Horizontal fissure
