  • refers to a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make breathing difficult.
    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Would a person with a FEV% of 41% be considered to be normal or have an obstructive lung disorder?
    obstructive
  • Excess carbon dioxide in the arterial blood
    hypercapnia
  • The ______ volume is the term for the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation.
    Expiratory reserve volume
  • Commonly called a nosebleed. Loss of blood from the nose due to trauma infection, allergy, malignant growths, or bleeding disorders
    Epsitaxis
  • represents the proportion of the forced amount of air that a person expire in the first second of (FEV1) to the full, forced vital capacity (FVC). The result of this ratio is expressed as
    FEV1%
  • Term for the capacity that is the maximum amount of air that can be inspired in addition to a normal tidal expiration.
    inspiratory capacity
  • The _________ capacity is the total amount of air that the lungs can hold after maximum inspiration.
    Total lung capacity
  • Normal resting tidal volume is about how many mL?
    500mL
  • Means to draw in or out. It has two meanings: Breathing a foreign object into the trachea and lungs; such as food, drink, stomach contents or; medical procedure that removes air/ fluids etc. from the body
    Aspiration
  • The ______ volume is the term for the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation.
    inspiratory reserve volume
  • On the following spirogram indicate the measurement represented by number 6
    total lung capacity
  • Blueness of the skin resulting from insufficiently oxygenated blood in the arteries
    cyanosis
  • Term for the volume that is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation. What # represents this?
    residual volume, #4
  • This syndrome is the leading cause of death in the 1st year; baby has periods of prolonged apnea because the respiratory control mechanisms are immature, either in brain stem or in chemoreceptors that monitor the body’s respiratory status.
    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDDS)
  • Term for the volume that is the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation. 
    inspiratory reserve volume
  • On the following spirogram indicate the measurement represented by number 5?
    vital capacity
  • Term for the volume that is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during one normal breath at rest. "Breathing quietly" What # represents this?
    tidal volume, #2
  • Give the term and abbreviation in parenthesis for the total volume of air that can be forcefully expired after a full inspiration.
    forced vital capacity (FVC)
  • The ______ volume is the term for the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation.
    residual volume
  • A disorder in which a person repeatedly stops breathing for 10 or more seconds while sleeping. Most often because of loss of muscle tone in pharyngeal muscles allows the airway to collapse.
    Sleep apnea
  • Give the term and abbreviation for the volume of air forcefully expired in the first second during maximal expiratory effort or FVC.
    Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
  • The _________ capacity is the term for the maximum amount of air that can be inspired in addition to a normal tidal expiration.
    inspiratory capacity
  • Term for the volume that is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation.
    expiratory reserve volume
  • A repeated cycle of irregular breathing that begins with shallow breaths that increase in depth and rapidity and then decrease and cease altogether for 15-20 seconds.
    Cheyne-stokes respirations
  • The _________ capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be expired after a maximum inspiration.
    vital capacity
  • Emphysema and ____________ are the two most common conditions that make up COPD
    chronic bronchitis
  • On the following spirogram indicate the measurement represented by number 7
    functional residual capacity
