incorrect
11.
diaphragm
incorrect
12.

incorrect
17.
larynx
incorrect
18.
agonal breathing
incorrect
19.
central neurogenic hyperventilation
incorrect
20.
kussmaul breathing
A.
slitlike opening between vocal cords leading into trachea, in adult narrowest part
B.
largest, wide muscule separating thoracic/chest cavity from abdominal cavity, slants upward anteriorly & dome shaped when relaxed, contracts downward
C.
volume of air exchanged in 1 min, about 6000mL - 16,000mL average, necessary to remove CO2 & bring in sufficient supplies of O2
D.
air remaining in trachea & bronchi unavailabe for gas exchange, about 150 mL
E.
richly lines larynx, stimulation of pharyngeal & laryngeal mucous membranes can cause bradycardia, hypotension & decreased respiratory rate, sends signals to medullla oblongata & pons in brain to control breathing
F.
pattern of deep rapid respirations similar to kussmaul breathing, also indicative of increased intracranial pressure
G.
deep gasping respirations, common in diabetic coma
H.
insufficiant oxygenation of the tissue
I.
involves exchange of dissolved gases between circulating blood & interstitial fluids in peripheral tissues
J.
2 layer epithelial membrane that lines body cavities & covers surfaces of organs, form sac & includes 2 layers
K.
triangle shaped, connects pharynx(at epiglottis) 2 trachea(lower border of cricoid cartilage), inferior hyoid bone, anterior esophagus, made of thyroid & cricoid cartilage, vocal cords & arytenoid folds
L.
insufficient oxygenation of the blood
M.
adult/acute respiratory distress syndrome, non-cardiac w/ cardiac signs, pulmonary edema, trauma, contusion, spasm, sepsis
N.
systolic B/P decreases more than 10mmHg during inspiration, seen in COPD, severe asthma, cardiac tamponade, pericardial effusion, CHF, AMI & tension pneumothorax
O.
cannot speak
P.
involves exchange of gases between circulating blood & air & is carried on by expansion & contraction of lungs
Q.
dead space, collapse of alveoli
R.
pattern of slow shallow irregular respirations, results from brain anoxia
S.
incoluntary slow deep breath followed by prolonged expiration, hyperinflates the lungs & opens atelectatic alveoli, normally about once per min
T.
top of lungs
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
21.
difficulty speaking
incorrect
22.
sudden inspiration caused by spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm & intermittent spastic closure of glottis
incorrect
23.
group of quick, shallow inspirations followed by regular or irregular periods of apnea, seen with increased intracranial pressure
incorrect
24.
thin layer connective tissue lining many body cavities air passes thru, has small mucus secretin glands, 100% humidified & sterile, warmed, lubricates & protects
incorrect
25.
depression or pocket formed by base of the bongue & epiglottis
incorrect
26.
increased respirations, insufficient oxygenation of the cells
incorrect
27.
regular pattern of gradually incerasing rate & tidal volume followed by gradual decrease & then short period of apnea, associated with brainstem insult
incorrect
28.
abbreviation for partial pressure of O2 or carbon dioxide
incorrect
29.
shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
incorrect
30.
peripheral pulse is @ different rate than the ventricle is contracting, poor peripheral profusion
