Respiratory System — Flashcards

O2 is carried in blood in two forms: _____ (2%) or bound to hemoglobin (98%)

The _____ respiratory group is primarily responsible for inspiration and generates the basic rhythm for breathing

In _____ lung disease, the flow volume loop shifts to the right

In a calorie depleted patient, excess calorie infusion may result in _____ retention and respiratory insufficiency

Water fall effect has been used to describe the blood flow in the _____ portion of lung.

In normal respiration, the vocal cords are in _____ position

In abdominal compartment syndrome, peak inspiratory pressure _____, leading to hypoxia

The most important stimulus controlling the level of resting ventilation is _____ of CSF

_____ is the lung volume above Residual Volume at which airways in the lower, dependent parts of the lungs begin to close off because of the lesser transmural pressure in these areas.

Absence of ventilatory effort, with the arterial CO2 tension at least 60 mm Hg or 20 mm Hg above the pretest level is a positive _____ test
