Question 3

Hypoxia

Answer 3

Is inadequate tissue oxygenation at the cellular level. Can result from deficiency in o2 delivery or o2 utilization.

Question 4

Atelectasis

Question 20

Productive Cough

Answer 20

Cough that produces mucus or sputum.

Question 21

Ventilation

Answer 21

The exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere so I that oxygen can be exchanged for CO2 in the alveoli.
