Q

hypopnea

A

decreased in depth and /or speed of breathing

19
Q

dyspnea

A

difficult and painful breathing

20

A

rapid breathing

21
Q

hyperventilation

A

increased alveolar ventilation

22
Q

hypoventilation

A

decreased alveolar ventilation

23
Q

surfactant

A

lower surface tension
a mixture of phosphorus, protein and ion
24th week of pregnancy
35-36th week of pregnancy

24
Q

respiratory difficulty syndrome

A

collapse of alveoli due to insufficiency surfactants especially in premature babies

25
Q

factors that shift oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve

A

hydrogen ion increase
increased carbon dioxide pressure
heat increase
2,3 diphosphoglycerate increase

26
Q

binding of oxygen to hemoglobin has relieving effect on removing carbon dioxide from the blood
What does the effect called

A

Haldane effect

27
Q

hypoxemia

A

decreased oxygen concentration

28
