-Exhalation is a ________ process - -passive
-Exhalation has _______ pressure - -positive
-What is exhalation? - -intercostal muscles and diaphragm relaxing
-What is cyanosis - -blue/purple color due to lack of oxygen
-What is diffusion? - -molecules move from high concentration to low concentration
-What is dyspnea? - -Difficulty breathing
-Where is intercostal? - -between the ribs
-What is respiratory distress? - -increased work of breathing
-What is respiratory failure? - -oxygen intake not sufficient to support life
-What is retractions - -pulling in the skin and soft tissue between the ribs when
breathing
-What does the epiglottis do? - -prevents food and foreign objects from entering the
trachea
-What is the larynx? - -voice box. connects pharynx to trachea
-What is the alveoli? - -small sacs in mugs where gas exchange takes place
-What is the thyroid cartilage? - -adam's apple
-What is ventilation? - -inhaling and exhaling
-Exhaling is the process of what? - -Passive process during which the intercostal
muscles and the diaphragm relax
, -Inhaling is the process of what? - -Active process in which the muscles of the rib cage
and the diaphragm contract
-What is cellular respiration? - -diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between CELLS
and circulating blood
-What is pulmonary respiration? - -diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes
place between the ALVEOLI and circulating blood
-What is internal respiration? - -exchange of gases between the blood and the CELLS

blood
-What other system does the respiratory work i️conjunction with? - -circulatory system
-What two procedures open the airway - -head tilt chin life
jaw thrust
-What is Hypoxia? - -deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues
(causes cyanosis)
-Inhalation is a ________ process - -active
-What happens during inhalation? - -muscles of the rib cage and diaphragm contract
-Inhalation has ______ pressure - -negative
-What detects increasing levels of carbon dioxide and low levels of oxygen? And causes
you to breathe more rapidly? - -chemoreceptors
-What system is engaged when carbon dioxide levels increase and hypoxia occurs? - -
sympathetic nervous system
-What happens when the sympathetic nervous system is engaged? - -increased heart
rate and blood vessel constriction to move more blood. Increased respiratory rate
-What happens during exhalation? - -carbon dioxide moves from blood into alveoli to
be expelled
-Two questions to consider when assessing the airway? - -"Is the airway open?"
"Will the airway stay open?"
-Asses the airway as part of the _______ assessment - -primary
-Note the rate, rhythm, quality, and depth of breathing for a person at rest when
looking for.... - -adequate breathing
