& 100% Verified Answers |Latest Version |Already
Graded A+
Apnea ✔Correct Answer-No breathing
Cyanosis ✔Correct Answer-A bluish, purplish color of the skin due to insufficient oxygen levels
in the blood
Diffusion ✔Correct Answer-A process by which molecules move from HIGH to LOW
concentration
Dyspnea ✔Correct Answer-Difficult and labored breathing; shortness of breath
Hypoxia ✔Correct Answer-A deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues of the body. Low O2
levels. Leads to cyanosis
Intercostal ✔Correct Answer-Situated or extending between the ribs.
Inter=between
Costal=ribs
Respiratory distress ✔Correct Answer-Increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness
of breath
Respiratory failure ✔Correct Answer-The reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen
intake is not sufficient to support life.
Retractions ✔Correct Answer-Pulling in the skin and soft tissue between the ribs when
breathing.
Larynx ✔Correct Answer-Contains vocal cords (voice box)
Connects pharynx with Trachea.
Cricoid cartilage ✔Correct Answer-Lower portion of larynx
Trachea ✔Correct Answer-Tube that carries inhaled air from the larynx toward the lungs
Bronchi ✔Correct Answer-Trachea splits into 2 branches (1 to each lung)
Bronchial Tree consists of: ✔Correct Answer--Trachea
-Primary bronchi
, -Secondary bronchi
-Tertiary bronchi
-Bronchioles
-Terminal bronchioles
Chemoreceptors ✔Correct Answer-Detect increasing levels of carbon dioxide as well as low
levels of oxygen
Respiration ✔Correct Answer-Exchange of gases between he alveoli and the blood (external
respiration) and between the blood and the cells (internal respiration)
Pulmonary respiration ✔Correct Answer-Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes
place between the alveoli and circulating blood
Cellular respiration ✔Correct Answer-Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes place
between cells and circulating blood
Alveoli ✔Correct Answer-Small sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs
2 Q's assessing airway ✔Correct Answer--"Is the airway open?"
-"Will the airway stay open?"
Signs of Inadequate airway ✔Correct Answer--No air movement
-Foreign objects; blood, vomit, broken teeth
-Difficult speaking
-Unusual hoarse
-Chest movement=absent, minimal, uneven
2 ways to opening the airway ✔Correct Answer--Head-tilt, chin lift
-Jaw thrust (ONLY if head, neck or spine injury)
Causes of Inadequate breathing ✔Correct Answer--Trapped in a fire
-Overdose on a drug
-Heart attack, stroke, shock
-Cyanosis ad altered mental status
-Prevent hypoxia from becoming worse by administering oxygen
D cylinder ✔Correct Answer-350 L of O2
E cylinder ✔Correct Answer-625 L of O2
M cylinder ✔Correct Answer-3,000 L of O2
G cylinder ✔Correct Answer-5,300 L of O2
