Q

What part of the brain is responsible for rhythm and depth of respiration

A

Medulla and pon

31
Q

If nasopharnyx is irritated it can also cause?

A

ear irritation. It has two Eustachian tubes that extend to the middle ear cavities

32
Q

What is intercostal muscle?Where are they located?

A

Between the ribs. They attach to the ribs and help expand and shrink the size of the chest cavity when breathing

33
Q

O2 is going to diffuse from external respirations?

A

O2 coming in

34
Q

What happens is a patient has hypoxia? What does the body do?

A

Breaths deeper

35
Q

What is left in the lungs after a pt forcefully exhales?

A

Residual air

36
Q

Where is red bone marrow normally drawn?

A

Flat bones. Illiac crest, sternum

37
Q

*Eosinophils

A

are activated during allergic reaction

38
Q

*Basophils

A

contain granules of heparin and histamin*

39
Q

contain granules of heparin and histamin*

A

are capable of phagocytosis(during a infection neutrophils are produced most rapidly)

40
Q

Granular leukocytes

A

Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils

41
Q

Agranular leukocytes

A

Lymphocytes and monocytes

42
Q

What stem cell? Where is it located

A

produce blood cells mainly RBC. RBM

43
Q

What do you need fibrin for? What does it produce.

A

It produces clots. If you dont want to produce clot you block the fibrin

44
Q

Calcium is used for?

A

Blood clotting and bones

45
Q

Blood clotting and bones

A

4.5-6.0 million

46
Q

Hemoglobin(Hb,Hgb):

A

12-18 grams

47
Q

Hematocrit(Hct,Ht)

48
Q

WBC’s

49
Q

Platelets

A

150,00-300,00

50
Q

Lymph fluid is going to be returned where?

A

it goes through the venus system first than subclavian veins

51
Q

How do your lymph nodes function

A

Skeletal muscles

52
Q

Where is B/P monitored

A

Left ventricle of the heart

53
Q

SA node is located?

A

In the right atrium of the heart and known as the pacemaker

54
Q

The spleen does what to old RBC’s?

A

Destroys them down to bilirubin and stores the iron from them

55
Q

A process called hypoxemia is going to cause the kidneys to produce what?

A

Erythropoietin

56
Q

When do you get a histamine response?

A

Allergic reaction

57
Q

During a cardiac cycle what happens?

A

S1- Lub is the atrium which contracts first

S2- Dub is the ventricles contracting second

58
Q

What are you hearing with a normal heart sounds

A

Closing of the valves

59
Q

What is Atrial Natriuretic Hormone(ANH or ANP), what does it do?

A
  • decreases the reabsorption of sodium by the kidneys, so the more sodium and water is excreted in urine. To help lower blood volume and B/P and also promotes vasodilation. Its produced in the left atrium.
  • Inhibits aldosterone secretion from the adrenal gland
60
Q

Epinephrine is going to do what to the b/p?

A

Increase the heart rate and give it a nice force

61
Q

Patient wants to know what B/P reading means. you as a nurse will tell them what?

A

It is taken from the left ventricle when the arteries are contracting

62
Q

Arteriolosclerosis

A

Is caused by old age

63
Q

Atherosclerosis?

A

clotting of the arteries caused by yellowish plaque

64
Q

Aldosterone

A
  • The primary mineralcorticoid and regulator of electrolyte concentration
  • Increases reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium by the kidneys. Maintains normal blood PH, blood volume, and blood pressure
65
Q

Cortisol

A

(Glucocorticoids) increases the use of fats and amino acids for energy. Decreases the use of glucose to conserve glucose for the brain. Also has a anti inflammatory effect. blocks the effects of histamine and stabilizes lysosomes to prevent excessive tissue damage.

66
Q

PTH

A

-increases reabsorption of calcium and phosphate from bones to the blood

67
Q

Calcitonin

A

Deceases reabsorption of calcium from bones and lowers blood calcium levels

68
Q

Epinephrine

A

Increases heart rate and force. Causes vasoconstriction in the skin and viscera and vasodilation in the skeletal muscles.

69
Q

Melatonin

A

secreted by pineal gland during darkness to bring on sleep

70
Q

*Alpha cells

A

: produce glucagon

71
Q

Beta cells

A

: produce insulin

72
Q

Norepinephrine

A

stimulates vasoconstriction and raises blood pressure.

73
Q

Path of blood flow in heart

A

1) Right atrium
2) Tricuspid valve (R atrioventricular valve)
3) Right ventricle
4) Pulmonary Semilunar Valved
6) R/L Pulmonary ARTERIES
7) Lungs where gas exchange (O2 picked up/C02 dumped)
8) R/L Pulmonary VEINS
9) Left atrium
10) Bicuspid or Mitral valve (L atrioventricular)
11) Left ventricle
12) Aorta
