EMS 105 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++ LATEST UPDATE
aerobic metabolism
The cellular process in which oxygen is used to metabolize glucose. Energy is produced
in an efficient manner with minimal waste products.
anaerobic metabolism
The metabolism that takes place in the absence of oxygen; the principle product is lactic
acid.
cardiac output
The volume of blood ejected from the left side of the heart in one minute.
Chemoreceptors
chemical sensors in the brain and blood vessels that identify changing levels of oxygen
and carbon dioxide
dead air space
Dehydration
An abnormally low amount of water in the body.
diaphoresis
cool, pale, and moist/sweaty skin; sweating
edema
swelling associated with the movement of water into the interstitial space
Electrolyte
, a substance that, when dissolved in water, separates into charged particles
FiO2
fraction of inspired oxygen; the concentration of oxygen in the air we breathe
hydrostatic pressure
the pressure within a blood vessel that tends to push water out of the vessel
Hypersensitivity
an exaggerated response by the immune system to a particular substance
hypoperfusion
inability of the body to adequately circulate blood to the body's cells to supply them with
oxygen and nutrients. A life-threatening condition. Also called shock.
Metabolism
The cellular function of converting nutrients into energy
Minute Volume (MV)
Amount of air moving in and out of lungs each minute; TV x RR = MV
patent
open and clear; free from obstruction
Pathophysiology
the study of how disease processes affect the function of the body
Perfusion
the supply of oxygen to and removal of wastes form the cells and tissues of the body as
a result of the flow of blood through the capillaries.
plasma oncotic pressure
