Anoxia .....ANSWER.....a lack of oxygen
Apena .....ANSWER.....the cessation of breathing
Asthma .....ANSWER.....an acute respiratory disorder
characterized by unusually sensitive, irritated conducing airways
Atelactasis .....ANSWER.....ateles (incomplete) and ekatasis
(expansion); alveolar collapse due to loss of surfactant
Bronchitis .....ANSWER.....inflammation of the bronchial lining
Compliance .....ANSWER.....an indication of the lungs resilience
and ability to expand; the lower the compliance, the greater the
,Page 2 of 73
force required to fill and empty the lungs; the greater the
compliance, the easier it is to fill and empty the lungs
Dyspena .....ANSWER.....difficult or labored breathing
Hypercapnia .....ANSWER.....An abnormally high level of carbon
dioxide in the blood
Hypocapnia .....ANSWER.....An abnormally low level of carbon
dioxide in the blood
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) .....ANSWER.....The amount of
air that can be maximally inhaled after a normal inspiration
Pneumothroax .....ANSWER.....the entry of air into the pleural
cavity
Pulmonary Embolism .....ANSWER.....blockage of a branch of a
pulmonary artery producing an interruption of blood flow to a
group of lobules and/or alveoli
Septal Cells .....ANSWER.....Secrete surfactant
,Page 3 of 73
Surfactant .....ANSWER.....Oily secretion that reduces surface
tension and prevents alveolar collapse
Quiet Breathing .....ANSWER.....Inhalation involves muscular
contractions but exhalation is passive
Forced Breathing .....ANSWER.....Both inhalation and exhalation
are active
This type of cartilage is located slightly below the thyroid
cartilage, it's the first cartiloaginous right of the trachea
.....ANSWER.....Cricoid Cartliage
This cartilage is ring shaped, protects the glottis and the entrance
to the trachea .....ANSWER.....Cricoid Cartilage
Also known as the "Adam's Apple." It's inferior to the hyoid bone
and superior to the cricoid cartilage, protects the glottis and the
entrance to the trachea .....ANSWER.....Thyroid Cartilage
, Page 4 of 73
Air passing through the glottis vibrates the vocal cords, producing
sound waves. .....ANSWER.....Vocal Pitch
What sound is produced when the vocal cords are short and thin
and they vibrate rapidly? .....ANSWER.....High-pitched tone
Long, thick vocal cords vibrate more slowly, producing what kind
of sound? .....ANSWER.....Low-pitched tone
How many cartilages make up the tracheal wall?
.....ANSWER.....15-20 cartilages
What are the effects of the sympathetic activation the
bronchioles? .....ANSWER.....It leads to relaxation of smooth
muscles in the walls of the bronchioles, causing bronchodilation
What are the effects of the parasympathetic activation on
bronchioles? .....ANSWER.....Leads to a contraction of the smooth
muscles, causing bronchoconstriction
