Respiratory Panopto Part 1 Flashcards
Abnormal breathing sounds =
Adventitious Breathing
Involuntary cessation of breathing =
Apnea
Incomplete expansion or collapse of a part of the lungs =
Atelectasis
Slow rate of breathing =
Bradypnea
Gradual increase and then gradual decrease in depth of respiration followed a period of apnea =
Cheyne-Strokes Respirations
Crackling sounds made as air moves through wet secretions in the lungs =
Crackles
A grating sound or sensation under the skin around the lungs, or in the joints =
Crepitus
Bluish coloring of the skin =
Cyanosis
Difficult or labored breathing =
Dyspnea
Sputum containing blood =
Hemoptysis
Condition in which there is more than the normal amount of air entering and leaving lungs =
Hyperventilation
Decreased rate or depth of air movement into the lungs =
Hypoventilation
Inadequate amount of oxygen available to the cells =
Hypoxia
Nostrils widen while breathing, indicates difficulty in breathing =
Nasal Flaring
Shortness of breath when lying flat and relieved by sitting or standing =
Orthopnea
Air in the pleural space =
Pneumothorax
Harsh, high-pitched sound usually heard on inspiration when upper airway become narrowed =
Stridor
Rapid rate of breathing =
Tachypnea
High-pitched, musical noise that sounds like a squeak =
Wheezes
What does the upper respiratory tract include?
The Nose
Mouth
Pharynx
Epiglottis
Larynx
Trachea
What connects the Nose to the Pharynx?
The Nasal Cavity
What does the nose do to air to protect the lower airway?
Warms, Filters, & Humidifies
How many parts does the Pharynx have?
What are they?
3
The Nasopharynx, The Oropharynx, & The Laryngopharynx
Is located at the roof of the nose. Gives you your sense of smell =
Olfactory Nerve Endings
Air moves through the larynx, then the epiglottis, then the trachea.
True or false?
False, it first travels through the Epiglottis, then the Larynx, then the Trachea
A small flap behind the tongue that closes over the Larynx during swallowing (to prevent food + liquids from going down into the lungs) =
Epiglottis
When you get particles into the lung, causing an inflammatory response that can trigger a pulmonary infection =
Aspiration Pneumonia
If food or drink goes into the larynx and the epiglottis doesn’t function appropriately, what can happen?
Aspiration Pneumonia
As you go down the trachea, what does it do?
It Bifurcates, meaning it splits into two.
Whenever it splits into two, it goes to the left and right Main Stem Bronchi.
What is the point of the trachea called that Bifurcates?
The Carina
The Carina is highly-
Sensitive
Touching the Carina during suctioning causes-
Vigorous Coughing
What is the Lower Respiratory Tract made of?
Bronchi (Right & Left Main Stem Bronchus)
Bronchioles
Alveolar Ducts
Alveoli
Lungs
How many loves does the right lung have?
3 (Upper, Middle, Lower)
How many loves does the left lung have?
2 (Upper, Lower)
The top, rounded part of the lung is called-
The Apex of the lung
The lower part of the lung is called-
The Base of the lung
The Base of the lung rests upon the-
Diaphragm
What contains the Bronchiole Tree?
The Base of the lung
Why is the left lung smaller than the right?
To make room for the heart
Repeated division of the Bronchi which ends with Terminal Bronchioles =
Bronchial Tree
Terminal Bronchioles eventually lead to the -
Alveoli
This is where Gas Exchange occurs, after the air passes through the Terminal Bronchioles =
Alveoli
Formed from Alveolar & Capillary Walls =
Alveolar Capillary Membrane
The Alveolar Walls are covered by a mesh of-
Pulmonary Capillaries
Gas Exchange occurs when the CO2 and O2 diffuse across a semipermeable membrane, thus it happens by-
Diffusion
The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration =
Diffusion
The greatest concentration for oxygen molecules is on -
The Alveoli Side
The greatest concentration for Carbon Dioxide is on -
The Capillary Side (From deoxygenated blood from the Right Ventricle)
The Main Stems of the bronchi sub-divide into the-
Bronchioles
Beyond your Bronchioles are your-
Alveolar Ducts + Alveolar Sacs
