Study pulmonary

Rhinitis

Irritation and swelling of the mucous membrane in the nose.

Diaphragm

Large, flat muscle at the bottom of the chest cavity that helps with breathing

Pulmonary function

Measurement of lung capacity and efficiency.

Which brain part controls breathing

Medulla Oblongata N pons

Pharynx

Nasopharynx Oropharynx Larynohopharynx Acts as a passageway for air from the nose to the larynx and lungs.

Bronchi

Right/ LEFT extend into the lung The bronchi subdivide into the bronchial tree into smaller branches

Alevoli

Small air sacs in the lungs that support a network of capillaries where the gas exchange takes place

Trachea

a large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the windpipe.

Spirometry

a measurement of breathing avoid vigorous exercise, smoking for several hours to a day, and eating a large meal at least two hours prior

pulmonary edema

accumulation of fluid in the lungs

Inspiration

diaphragm contracts n flattens and moves downwards

Pulmonary Volumes

measuring volumes of air that moves in and out the lungs

Sarcoidosis

multi-system disease of unknown etiology, usually affecting the respiratory tract and other organs, and is characterized by the formation of nonnecrotizing epithelioid granuloma

expiration

muscles of inspiration relax, and the Lorax returns to its resting size and shape.

Bronchus

passageway leading from the trachea to a lung

Surfactant

reduces surface tension, preventing the alveoli from collapsing during exhalation.

Pulmonary capacity

the volume of air the lungs can hold

Normal RR in elderly?

12-28 breaths/min

Normal RR in adults

15-20

Normal RR in children

20-30

Larynx

3 cartilage structure that protect Thyroid cartilage protects vocal cords Epiglottis cartilage and ringed shaped cartilage cricoid cartilage

laryngitis

An inflammation of the voice box, which is also known as the larynx. Overuse, irritation or infection can be the cause.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease condition caused by damage to the lungs. The damage results in swelling and irritation, also called inflammation, inside the airway inhalers and inhaled or oral steroids can help control symptoms and minimize further damage.

Residual volume

The volume of air left in the lungs at the end of an exhalation around 1,200 ML

Bronchioles

Thin layer of epithelium and smooth muscle , terminate at the alveoli carry air to your alveoli

functional residual capacity

The amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration

Expiatory reserve volume ERV

The amount of air that can be forcefully exhale during a normal exhalation

Inspiratory reserve volume IRV

The amount of air that can be forcibly inspired after a normal inhalation

Inspiratory capacity IC

The amount of air that can be inhaled after normal expiration

Vital capacity VC

The amount of air the can be exhaled following forced inspiration including maximum expiration varies with age n body size

Total lung capacity

The maximum amount of air that can fill the lungs sum of the four volumes

Function of nasal cavity

The nasal cavity acts as a passageway for air to enter and exit the lungs.
