20
Q

Eupnea

A

normal breathing in terms of rate and depth

21
Q

Apnea

A

lack of cessation of breathing

22
Q

Hypoxia

A

chronic oxygen deficiency

23
Q

Dyspnea

A

labored breathing, or “air hunger”

24
Q

COPDs

A

emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma

25
Q

Emphysema

A

condition characterized by fibrosis of the lungs and an increase in size of the alveolar chambers

26
Q

Chronic bronchitis

A

condition characterized by increased mucus production, which clogs respiratory passageways and promotes coughing

27
Q

Asthma

A

respiratory passageways narrowed by bronchiolar spasms

28
Q

How to calculate anatomical dead space and air that actually reaches your lungs?

A

ADSV= TV (tidal volume) x .30

Air that actually reaches your lungs= TV x .70

29
Q

How to calculate partial pressure?

A

multiply the element by the atmospheric pressure

30

CO2, O2

AKA Henry’s Law

32
Q

If atmosphere # is lower, it is..

A

harder to receive O2
