Question 1

what parts of the body consist of the respiratory system

Answer 1

Consists of nose, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), bronchi,and lungs

Question 2

Parts can be classified according to either structure or function
Structurally the respiratory system (RS) consists of 2 parts
what are they?

Answer 2

Upper respiratory system
The nose
Nasal cavity
Pharynx

Lower respiratory system
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs

Question 3

Functionally the RS also consists of 2 parts. What are they?

Answer 3

The conducting zone
Consists of a series of interconnecting cavities and tubes both outside and within the lungs
Include the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles
Function to moisten air and conduct it into the lungs

The Respiratory zone
Consists of tubes and tissues within the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
Include the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli
the main sites of gas exchange between air and blood

Question 4

3 functions of the nose

Answer 4

Warming, moistening, and filtering incoming air
Detecting olfactory stimuli
Modifying speech vibrations as they pass through the large, hollow resonating chambers

Question 5

what is a passageway for food and air, provides a resonating chamber for speech sounds, and houses the tonsils, which participate in immunological reactions against foreign invaders.

Answer 5

pharynx

Question 6

Define Asthma

Answer 6

Chronic inflammatory disorder
Causes bronchospasms (narrowing of the airways in the lungs)
Can be reversed over time (spontaneous or with treatment)
Can have different onsets
60% of clients have mild symptoms

Question 7

Name 3 symptoms of asthma

Answer 7

· Shortness of breath
· Wheezing on expiration
· Poor tissue health
· Apical breathing (breathing from upper part of chest)
· Decrease in oxygen exchange
· Productive cough
· Elevation of shoulders, protracted shoulders, anterior head carriage, barrel chest, hyperkyphosis

Question 8

name 2 massage techniques for treating asthma

Answer 8

Abdominal massage
o GSM, stripping, diaphragm release
Rib Springing

Question 9

Just before each inhalation the air pressure in the lungs is equal to the air pressure of the atmosphere
For air to flow into the lungs, the pressure inside the alveoli must become lower than atmospheric pressure
This is achieved by increasing the size of the lungs
Name this law

Answer 9

Boyles Law

Question 10

states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid. Name this law

Answer 10

Henrys Law

Question 11

Each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its own pressure as if no other gases were present; the pressure of a specific gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure. Name this law

Answer 11

Daltons Law
