ATI TEAS questions and answers.
What does the respiratory system do? answer- Brings in oxygen to go into the cells, and
picks up carbon dioxide to be removed from the bodyguard
What are the 7 parts of the respiratory system? answer- 1. Nose
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx (voice box)
4. Trachea (windpipe)
5. Bronchi
6. Bronchioles
7. Alveoli
What are alveoli surrounded by to allow the exchange of O2 and CO2? answer-
Capillaries
What is cilia? answer- Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that wave particles up away
and out
What is mucus? answer- Something that keeps the air warm and moist but also traps
particles
How many alveoli does each lung have? answer- 150 million
What does hemoglobin do? answer- Carries oxygen through the blood
What is pleura? answer- Sacs that surround the lungs
What is the diaphragm? answer- The muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity
What happens during inhalation? answer- Diaphragm moves down (contracts), rib cage
rises, volume of chest cavity increases, air moves in to fill the space
What happens during exhalation? answer- Diaphragm moves up (relaxes), rib cage
lowers, space becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
What does the medulla oblongata do? answer- Controls breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? answer- Bronchi swell and become clogged with mucus
What is emphysema? answer- Tissues in lungs lose elasticity; tissues can't enough O2
or get rid of enough CO2
What is lung cancer? answer- Cells that do not stop reproducing; can spread to other
locations because lungs are so central and connected to so much; survival is generally
less then 5 years from diagnosis
,ATI TEAS questions and answers.
What is heart disease? answer- Blood vessels are constricted, blood pressure rises,
heart has to work harder, heart wears out more quickly
What is cystic fibrosis? answer- Genetic (recessive); lungs can get clogged with mucous
What is mesothelioma? answer- Lungs become exposed to asbestos and lose elasticity
What is elastic recoil? answer- The ability for the alveoli to get filled with air then return
to their normal shape once the air is released
What is a spirometer? answer- an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs
What is tidal volume? answer- The amount of air taken in and breathed out in a typical
breath
What is supplemental volume? answer- The xtra air that can be inhaled or exhaled with
a deep breath
What is reserve amount? answer- The amount of extra air you can breathe out when
you force air out of your lungs
What is residual amount? answer- The amount of air in your lungs that you cannot get
rid of (even during forced exhaling)
What is vital capacity? answer- All the air you can control going in or out of your lungs
(supplemental + reserve = vital)
What is total capacity? answer- From the top of your supplemental amount to the
bottom of your residual volume
Main idea answer- the most important or central thought of a paragraph or larger
section of text, which tells the reader what the text is about
Topic answer- a particular issue or idea that serves as the subject of a paragraph,
essay, report, or speech
-topic is the general subject of a paragraph
-Topics are simple and are described with just a word or a phrase.
-main idea is a complete sentence; it includes the topic answer- What's the difference
between a topic and main idea?
Key ideas answer- Ideas that support controlling idea
Controlling idea answer- -your opinion about the topic.
- It helps the reader understand your purpose for writing the paragraph or essay
, ATI TEAS questions and answers.
Conclusion answer- A deduction made by the reader about an unstated outcome from
reading passage
Inference answer- A conclusion one can draw from the presented details.
anatomical position answer- a standard position in which the body is facing forward, the
feet are parallel to each other, and the arms are at the sides with the palms facing
forward
Cells answer- The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
Cellular functions answer- Processes that include growth, metabolism, replication,
protein synthesis, and movement
Directional terminology answer- Words used to explain relationships of locations of
anatomical elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)
organ system answer- A group of organs that work together in performing vital body
functions.
Organelle answer- specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within
a eukaryotic cell
Organ answer- A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
Reference Planes answer- Planes dividing the body to describe locations
(ex: sagittal, coronal, and transverse)
Tissue answer- A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
Eukaryotic cells answer- Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by
membranes.
prokaryotic cell answer- cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound
organelles. (Bacteria)
Ribosome answer- site of protein synthesis
Nucleus answer- A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth
and reproduction
Nucleolus answer- Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes
Cytoplasm answer- A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
