PHM230 Respiratory
Respiratory System, Disorders, Drugs,
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Classes/subclasses of respiratory medications | OTC Antihistamines, RX antitussive/mucolytic, steroids, Beta2 receptor agonist, leukotriene receptor antagonist, bronchodilator |
| antihistamine | opposes the activity of histamine receptors |
| antitussive/mucolytic | stops a cough and aids in reducing phlegm |
| steroids | help with inflamed airways |
| Beta2 receptor agonist | Beta2 is a type of receptor in systemic system for the drug to bind to |
| leukotriene receptor antagonist | leukotrienes form in white blood cells to cause inflammation in rhinitis or allergies, reduce inflammation |
| bronchodilator | substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles in the lungs, decreasing resistance in the respiratory airway and increasing airflow to the lungs |
| OTC Antihistamine | diphenhydramine (Benadryl (1st generation), cetirizine (Zyrtec) |
| Rx antitussive/mucolytic | guaifenesin/codeine (Cheratussin AC) |
| Steriods (Asthma) | methylprednisolone (Medrol), prednisone (Deltasone) |
| Beta2 receptor agonist | albuterol (ProAir HFA) |
| leukotriene receptor antagonist | montelukast (Singulair) |
| bronchodilator | epinephrine (EpiPen) |
| respiratory system | primary organ: Lungs; responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide echange; red blood cells collect, carry, deliver oxygen from lungs |
| hypoxia | decrease lack of O2 |
| anoxia | complete lack of O2 |
| Newborns normal breathing rate Adults resting respiratory Adults during strenuous exercise | 40 times each minute 12 to 16 breaths per minute average about 45 breaths per minute |
| sinuses | help regulate temperature and humidity of the air we breathe |
| trachea | aka windpipe; filters the air that is inhaled branches into the bronchi, which are 2 tubes that carry air into each lung; bronchial tubes lined w/ tiny hairs called cilia; cilia carry mucus in and out |
| mucus | sticky fluid, collects dust, germs, and other matter that has invaded the lungs; expel mucus when we sneeze, cough, spit, or swallow |
| lung lobes | filled with small spongy sacs called alveoli, where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur; right lung has 3, left lung has 2 |
| alveolar walls | extremely thin, single layer of tissues call epithelial cells and tiny blood vessels called pulmonary capillaries |
| diaphragm | dome shaped muscle at the bottom of the lungs, controls breathing and separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity |
| Lung diseases and disorders | fibrosis, asbestosis, mesothelioma (cancer of the pleura), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, edema (increased fluid), perfusion (dry lungs), tuberculosis, laryngitis |
| Bronch/o, bronchi/o | Bronchus, air tube in lungs |
| Carcin/o | cancer |
| Capn/o | carbon dioxide |
| Coni/o | dust |
| Lob/o | lobe of lung |
| Laryng/o | larynx (voice box) |
| Muc/o, Muc/us | mucus |
| Nas/o, Rhin/o | Nose |
| Or/o | mouth |
| Ox/i, Ox/o, Ox/y | oxygen |
| Sinus/o | sinus cavity |
| pharyng/o | pharynx (throat) |
| Trache/o | Trachea (windpipe) |
| Viscer/o | internal organx |
| Tonsill/o | tonsils |
| Hypo- | decreased |
| Dys- | difficulty |
| Pyo- | Pus |
| -centesis | puncture |
| -ema | condition |
| -osmia | smell |
| -thorax | chest |
| -sarcoma | malignant (cancer) |
| Respiratory System | nasal passage, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, ribs, lung, diaphragm, bronchioles |
| Respiratory system gas exchange process | inhale, oxygen comes through lungs into body, in lungs oxygen is moved into blood stream carried through body, capillaries (red blood cells) collect the carbon dioxide and transport back to lungs, leaves body when we exhale |
