Question | Answer |
---|---|
Gentle compression with rapid contractions of the upper extremities during client expirations to loosen phlegm | vibration |
wide, rhythmic hand movements to the chest wall or upper back | shaking |
client positioning uses gravity to assist with drainage | postural drainage |
more vigorous form of vibration with overpressure to thoracic area | rib springing |
loosen phlegm by striking chest and back area rhythmically with cupped hands | cupping |
gas exchange between the alveoli and the blood happens by | passive transport |
this oily substance reduces surface tension in the lungs and make it easier to breath | surfactant |
pulmonary ventilation is commonly referred to as | breathing |
the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the capillaries is directly driven by the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood | false |
what is the specific location of internal respiration | tissue cells |
when the diaphragm contracts, the total thoracic volume | increases |
inspiration is both voluntary and | involuntary |
normal expiration occurs by | relaxation of inspiration muscles |
dead space volume | air in any respiratory passages that cannot participate in gas exchange |
expiratory reserve volume | amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal exhalation |
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) | The extra volume of air that can be inspired with maximal effort after reaching the end of a normal, quiet inspiration. |
inspiratory capacity (IC) | amount of air that can be inspired from the end-expiratory level |
residual volume (RV) | the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful expiration |
Tidal Volume (Vt) | Volume of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing |
Vital Capacity (VC) | Max volume of exhalation after max inhalation |
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) | total volume of air in respiratory system |
Chemoreceptors in the respiratory system | sense blood levels of H2, O2, CO2 |
Where is the home of respiratory regulator center | medulla and pons |
What area of the brain regulates emotional stimulus and response | Hypothalamus and limbic system |
What can sense muscle and joint movements | proprioceptors |
Spinal cord reflexes | automatic response to rapid skin temperature change |
Age related changes to the musculoskeletal system affecting the ease of breathing | lung function decreases, elastic recoil of lungs decrease, decrease of total surface area (alveoli increase in size and in number, ribs stiffen |
Age related changes which make the elderly more prone to respiratory disease | smoking, obesity, immobility, decrease immunity in lungs, decreased ability to clear lungs due to impaired coughing ability |
