| WHAT TYPE OF PROCESS IS INHALATION, AND WHAT TYPE OF PROCESS IS EXHALATION? |
|
Definition
INHALATION IS AN ACTIVE PROCESS.
EXHALATION IS A PASSIVE PROCESS. |
|
|
Term
| THE DIAPHRAGM MUSCLE WILL DO WHAT DURING INHALATION, AND EXHALATION? |
|
Definition
DURING INHALATION THE DIAPHRAGM CONSTRACTS AND FLATTEN OUT INCREASING THE DIMENSIONS OF THE THORAX.
DURING EXHALATION THE DIAPHRAGM RELAXES (RECOIL)OR LIFTS DECREASING THE SPACE IN THORAX. |

| WHAT IS NEGATIVE-PRESSURE VENTILATION? |
|
Definition
| AIR FLOWS FROM THE REGION OF HIGHER PRESSURE (ATMOSPHERE) TO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE (LUNGS) |
|
|
Term

Term
| NAME AND DESCRIBE THE TWO TYPES OF RESPIRATION. |
|
Definition
EXTERNAL(PULMONARY) RESPIRATION-EXCHANGE OF GASES BETW. THE LUNGS AND BLOOD CELLS OF THE PULMONARY CAPILLARIES.
INTERNAL(CELLULAR) RESPIRATION-THE EXCHANGE OF GASES BETW. THE BLOOD CELLS AND THE TISSUE |

Term
| 97% OF THE BODY'S O2 IS BOUND TO WHAT? WHERE DOES THE REMAINING GO? |
|
Definition
97% OF O2 BINDS THE HEMOGLOBIN...
THE REMAINDER IS DISSOLVED IN THE PLASMA OF BLOOD. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
SAO2=SATURATION OF O2 IN THE BLOOD
PAO2=PARTIAL PRESSURE OF O2 (FOUND IN PLASMA) |
|
|
Term
| DESCRIBE SOME CAUSES FOR DECREASED O2 IN BLOOD. |
|
Definition
1-RICH CO(MONOXIDE)ENVIRONMENT(DISPLACE O2)
2-SEVERE BLEEDING(DECR.HEMOGLOBIN)
3-ANEMIA-DEFIC.OF RBC'S(CANT CARRY O2)
4-CONDITIONS THAT REDUCE SURFACE AREA
-FLAIL CHEST
-PNEUMOTHORAX(OPEN,TENSION)
-HEMOTHORAX(HEMOPNEUMOTHORAX)
MEDICAL CONDITIONS-
-PNEUMONIA
-PULMONARY EDEMA
-COPD |

Term
| WHAT ARE THE TWO WAYS HYPERVENTILATION CAN OCCUR? |
|
Definition
1.CO2 EXCEEDS THE BODY'S ABILITY TO ELIMINATE IT
2.CO2 ELIMINATION EXCEEDS CO2 PRODUCTION(AS WITH ANXIETY ATTACKS) |
|

Term
| WHAT IS DALTON'S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURE? |
|
Definition
| TOTAL PRESSURE OF A GAS =THE SUM OF THE COMPONENTS OF THAT GAS |
|
|
Term

Term
| WHAT IS DYSPNEA AND IT'S AFFECTS ON RR? |
|
Definition
DYSPNEA IS DIFFICULTY IN RR AND EFFORT,RESULTS IN
1.HYPOXEMIA-DECR.IN ARTERIAL O2 LEVELS
2.HYPOXIA-LACK OF O2 TO BODY'S CELLS AND TISSUE
3.ANOXIA-ABSENSE OF O2 THAT RESULT IN CELLULAR AND TISSUE DEATH |
