Conclusion

Part 1

1.

What is intra alveolar pressure?

Intra alveolar pressure is pressure in the pulmonary alveoli.

2.

What is intra pleural pressure?

Intra pleural pressure is pressure in the pleural cavity.

3.

What are the 4 respiratory volumes?

The 4 respiratory volumes are the tidal volume, Inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume.

4.

What are the 4 breathing capacities?

The 4 breathing capacities are vital capacity, functional residual capacity, Inspiratory capacity, and total lung capacity.

5.

What is the anatomical dead space?

The anatomical dead space is the volume of air in the conduction zone.

6.

What is hypoxia?

Hypoxia is an insufficient amount of oxygen brought to the organs by the blood.

7.

Does the volume of air in the conduction zone contribute to gas exchange?

No, the volume of air in the conduction zone does not contribute to gas exchange.

8.

What is pulmonary emphysema?

Pulmonary emphysema is the destruction of the alveoli.

9.

What is pneumonia?

Pneumonia is the accumulation of liquids in the alveoli.

10.

What is emphysema?

Emphysema is excessive and permanent pressure in the lungs.

Part 2

1.

What is the pulmonary hilum?

The pulmonary hilum is the place where nerves, bronchi stem, and blood vessels pass.

2.

What is pleura?

Pleura is what surrounds and protects the lungs.

3.

The pleura is rich in?

The pleura is rich in elastic fibers.

4.

What is hemothorax?

Hemothorax is the accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity.

5.

What is pleurisy?

Pleurisy is the accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity.

6.

What is partial pressure?

Partial pressure is the proper pressure of each gas.

7.

What is tidal volume?

Tidal volume is the volume of air exchanged.

8.

What is bradypnea?

Bradypnea is a very slow respiration.

9.

What is tachypnea?

Tachypnea is a very fast respiration.

10.

What is hypercapnia?

Hypercapnia is when there is too much CO2 in the blood.
