what is the purpose of the respiratory system?
✔ventilate and oxygenate the remaining body systems and tissues
airway
✔passageway by which air enters and leaves the body. includes the nose, mouth, pharynx,
larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs
alveolar ventilation
✔the amount of air that reaches the alveoli
artificial ventilation
✔forcing air or oxygen into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has inadequate
breathing (positive pressure ventilation)
apnea
✔no breathing
bronchoconstriction
✔contraction of smooth muscle that lines the bronchial passages that results in a decreased
internal diameter of the airway and increased resistance to airflow
cellular respiration
✔exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and circulating blood

cyanosis
✔blush color of the skin due to insufficient oxygen levels in the blood
diffusion
✔process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration
Dyspnea
✔difficult or labored breathing; shortness of breath
flail chest
✔fracture of two or more adjacent ribs in two or more places that allows for free movement of
the fractured segment
flow meter
✔valve that indicated the flow of oxygen reaching the tissues of the body

nasopharyngeal airway
✔flexible breathing tube inserted through the patient's nostril into the pharynx to help maintain
an open airway
oropharyngeal airway
✔curved device inserted through the patient's mouth into the pharynx to help maintain an open
airway
paradoxical motion
✔movement of ribs in flail segment that is opposite to the direction of movement of the rest of
the chest cavity
patent airway
✔airway that is open and clear and will remain open and clear without interference to the
passage of air into and out of the body
pressure regulator
✔device connected to an oxygen cylinder to reduce pressure, so it is safe for delivery of oxygen
to a patient
pulmonary respiration
✔exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulating blood in the
pulmonary capillaries
