Respiratory System

Question 1

List the functions of the Respiratory Sytem?

Answer 1

• supply oxygen to the body
• get rid of CO2 from the body

Question 2

The process of has exchange, supplying oxygen to, remove CO2 from, tissues of the body

Answer 2

Respiration

Question 3

The process of moving air in and out of lungs

Answer 3

Ventilation

Question 4

What is the thoracic cage made up?

Answer 4

sternum, ribs, costal cartilages, and thoracic vertebrae

Question 5

What does the thoracic cage contain?

Answer 5

chest cavity, heart, lungs, thymus gland, trachea, esophagus, lymph nodes, nerves

Question 6

Gliding of the costovertebral and chondrosternal joints

Answer 6

Elevation and Depression

Question 7

Thoracic cage moves upward and outward increasing the medial-lateral diameter

Answer 7

Inhalation

Question 8

Thoracic cage moves downward and inward decreasing the medial-lateral diameter

Answer 8

Exhalation

Question 9

T/F: During ventilation, the air flows from higher pressure to lower pressure until pressure is equalized

Answer 9

True

Question 10

Lungs do communicate with the _____ enviroment

Answer 10

outside

Question 11

During inhalation…

Answer 11

the diaphragm moves downward as it contracts; this causes increased intrathoracic volume and decreasing intrathoracic pressure

Question 12

During inhalation, air move ___ lungs

Answer 12

in

Question 13

During exhalation…

Answer 13

the diaphragm expands; causing the intrathoracic to increase volume and increase intrathoracic pressure

Question 14

The contraction of diaphragm and external intercostals

Answer 14

quiet inhalation

Question 15

The relation of diaphragm and external intercostals

Answer 15

quiet exhalation

Question 16

More forceful muscle contractions

Answer 16

Deep inhalation: more forceful muscle contractions that allows for more air in the lungs. It’s also used for more workload

Question 17

Even more oxygen required due to work or activity

Answer 17

Forced inhalation

Question 18

Coughing, compressed abdominal cavity, internal intercostals pull ribs downward, and abdominal muscles compress abdominal cavity

Answer 18

Forced exhalation

Question 19

Inhalation

Answer 19

Contraction of diaphragm and external intercostals

Question 20

Exhalation

Answer 20

Relaxation of diaphragm and contraction of internal intercostals

Question 21

What muscles are used to support breathing?

Answer 21

Sternocleidomastoid is used to elevate thoracic cage; head and neck extensors help stabilize

Question 22

More movement in the abdomen moving out with inhalation and in with exhalation is an example of what kind of breathing ?

Answer 22

Diaphragmatic breathing

Question 23

When there is more movement in the thoracic cage moving upwards with inhalation and down with exhalation, this is an example of?

Answer 23

Chest breathing

Question 24

Inflammation of pleura

Answer 24

pleurisy

Question 25

collapsed lung caused by air or fluid in plural cavity

Answer 25

pneumothorax

Question 26

The loss of ability to expand lungs during fractures of three or more ribs on top of all injuries

Answer 26

flail chest

Question 27

bronchitis

Answer 27

inflammation of the bronchi and their subdivisions

Question 28

emphysema

Answer 28

distension and destruction of alveolar walls, loss of lung tissue elasticity

Question 29

Spasm of bronchial walls restricting air flow

Answer 29

asthma

Question 30

rapid breathing removes more CO2 thats made by metabolism

Answer 30

hyperpentalation

Question 31

Cramping of the diaphragm from exertion

Answer 31

stitch

Question 32

involuntary spasm of diaphragm accompanied by rapid closure of glottis

Answer 32

hiccups

Question 33

Limits mobility of thoracic cage

Answer 33

joint degeneration

Question 34

lung capacity on side of concavity reduced

Answer 34

scoliosis
