DAANCE ALL MODULES COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔O2 capacity - ✔✔Blood has a certain amount of O2 it can carry depending on
hemoglobin available.
✔✔Nasopharynx - ✔✔Located above back of soft palate.
✔✔External respiration - ✔✔O2 is inspired and enters the body by coming in contact
with blood and alveoli.
✔✔Pharynx - ✔✔Located between nose and trachea. 3 parts nasopharynx, oropharynx,
laryngopharynx
✔✔Synapse - ✔✔A junction between two neurons.
✔✔Hypoxia - ✔✔Lack of O2
✔✔Automaticity - ✔✔Ability of heart muscle to contract on it's own without nerve
stimulation.
✔✔Best places to check for patients pulse - ✔✔Carotid arteries and radial arteries.
✔✔Trachea - ✔✔Wind pipe.
✔✔Neurons - ✔✔Nerve cells
✔✔Tachycardia - ✔✔HR above 100 bpm
✔✔Sensory nerves - ✔✔Receive messages from environment and and conduct
messages back to CNS.
✔✔CAC (cardioacceleratory center) - ✔✔Located within medulla. Sympathetic fibers
travel down spinal cord to SA node. When stimulated release norepinephrine with
increases HR and strength of contractions.
✔✔Cardiac output - ✔✔Total amount of blood pumped from left ventricle in one minute.
✔✔Brain stem - ✔✔Pons, medulla oblongata, midrain
✔✔Cephalic vein - ✔✔Located on outer (lateral) aspect of forearm.
✔✔Epiglottis - ✔✔Soft tissue valve located at base of tongue covers larynx. Allows air
into lungs and keeps foreign material out.
, ✔✔AV node - ✔✔Located between atria and ventricles. Bundle of His cause ventricles
to contract.
✔✔Thoracic cage - ✔✔Consists of ribs, sternum, intercostal muscles, diaphragm.
✔✔Accessory muscles of respiration - ✔✔Sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, abs which are
most important.
✔✔Central nervous system (CNS) - ✔✔Consists of brain and spinal column
✔✔Median cubital vein - ✔✔Bridge between cephalic and basilic veins.
✔✔Sinuses - ✔✔Frontal, maxillary, sphenoid, ethmoid
✔✔CIC (cardioinhibitory center) - ✔✔Parasympathetic fibers reach vagus nerve and
release acetylcholine which decreases HR and force of contractions.
✔✔Spinal column - ✔✔Cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla oblongata
✔✔Right ventricle - ✔✔Sends deoxygenated blood to lungs via pulmonary artery.
✔✔Respiration rate - ✔✔12-16 per minute
✔✔QRS complex - ✔✔Ventricular depolarization
✔✔Left ventricle - ✔✔Pumps oxygenated blood to peripheral circulation via aorta.
✔✔Cricothyrotomy/coniotomy - ✔✔The passage of a large needle through the
cricothyroid ligament. Used in upper airway obstruction.
✔✔T wave - ✔✔Ventricular repolarization
✔✔Angina pectoris - ✔✔Chest pain. Caused by ischemia. Can be treated with
nitroglycerin.
✔✔Robinul or atropine - ✔✔Inhibits parasympathetic stimulation of increased saliva.
Decreases secretions.
✔✔Erythrocytes - ✔✔Red blood cells
✔✔Dorsal venous plexus - ✔✔Back of hand.
