Latest Version |Already Graded A+
what is the purpose of the respiratory system? ✔Correct Answer-ventilate and oxygenate the
remaining body systems and tissues
airway ✔Correct Answer-passageway by which air enters and leaves the body.
alveolar ventilation ✔Correct Answer-the amount of air that reaches the alveoli
artificial ventilation ✔Correct Answer-forcing air or oxygen into the lungs when a patient has
stopped breathing or has inadequate breathing (positive pressure ventilation)
apnea ✔Correct Answer-no breathing
cellular respiration ✔Correct Answer-exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells
and circulating blood
contraction of smooth muscle that lines the bronchial passages that results in a decreased
internal diameter of the airway and increased resistance to airflow ✔Correct Answer-
bronchoconstriction
cyanosis ✔Correct Answer-blush color of the skin due to insufficient oxygen levels in the
blood
diffusion ✔Correct Answer-process by which molecules move from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration
dyspnea ✔Correct Answer-difficult or labored breathing; shortness of breath
flail chest ✔Correct Answer-fracture of two or more adjacent ribs in two or more places that
allows for free movement of the fractured segment
flowmeter ✔Correct Answer-valve that indicated the flow of oxygen reaching the tissues of
the body
hypoxia ✔Correct Answer-deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues of the body
intercostal ✔Correct Answer-situated or extending between the ribs
nasopharyngeal airway ✔Correct Answer-flexible breathing tube inserted through the
patient's nostril into the pharynx to help maintain an open airway
, oropharyngeal airway ✔Correct Answer-curved device inserted through the patient's mouth
into the pharynx to help maintain an open airway
paradoxical motion ✔Correct Answer-movement of ribs in flail segment that is opposite to
the direction of movement of the rest of the chest cavity
pressure regulator ✔Correct Answer-device connected to an oxygen cylinder to reduce
pressure, so it is safe for delivery of oxygen to a patient
pulmonary respiration ✔Correct Answer-exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the
alveoli and circulating blood in the pulmonary capillaries
patent airway ✔Correct Answer-airway that is open and clear and will remain open and clear
without interference
respiratory arrest ✔Correct Answer-when breathing stops completely
respiratory distress ✔Correct Answer-increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of
breath (doesn't need ventilation)
respiratory failure ✔Correct Answer-reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen intake
is not sufficient enough to support life (needs ventilation)
retractions ✔Correct Answer-pulling in the skin and soft tissue between the ribs when
breathing
what are the three regions of the pharynx? ✔Correct Answer-oropharynx, nasopharynx,
laryngopharynx
oropharynx ✔Correct Answer-where the oral cavity joins the pharynx
nasopharynx ✔Correct Answer-where the nasal passages empty into the pharynx
what is the movement of air in the upper airway? ✔Correct Answer-air enters the body
through the mouth and nose. posterior and inferior to the mouth and nasal passages, air enters
the pharynx
what is the entry point into the larynx called? ✔Correct Answer-glottis opening
epiglottis ✔Correct Answer-large leaf-like structure that protects the glottis to prevent food
and foreign objects from entering the trachea
