List, in order, the anatomical structures found in the respiratory pathway. You should begin at the nose and end at the alveoli.
Nose, Pharynx, Larynx,

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding structures within the respiratory tract?
a. The trachea contains cartilaginous rings to keep it from collapsing as air flow through it.
b. If a patient were to aspirate, the content would likely enter the left main bronchus.
c. The bronchi are a part of the respiratory division of the respiratory tract.
d. The pharynx is part of the conducting division of the respiratory tract.
e. a. and d. are true.
f. b. and c. are true.
e. a. and d. are true.
You are assessing a child admitted to the hospital with croup. They are breathing at a rate of 32 breaths per minute. What is their Alveolar Ventilation Rate? (show your calculations.)
500ml (tidal volume) - 150ml x 32 breaths/min = 11,200 ml/min
AVR = 350 ml x 32 bpmAVR = 11,200 ml/min.
List TWO reasons why we measure pulmonary ventilation?
To see if the patient is receiving the right amount of oxygen and air into the lungs; also, to figure out if the patient may have any diseases and if they do then they need to get treated, which the measurements see if there is improvements from the exercises, therapy, and medicine.
1. To assess pulmonary function2. To assess severity of pulmonary disease3. To monitor improvement or deterioration of a diseases process*Note: The student only has to provide two reasons.
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding restrictive lung disorders?
a. In a restrictive lung disorder, the lungs are limited with the amount of air that can beinflated.
b. Any disorder that produces pulmonary fibrosis is considered a restrictive lung disorder.
c. Asthma is an example of a restrictive lung disorder.
d. a. and b. are true
e. b. and c. are true
f. All of the above statements are true.
d. a. and b. are true
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding obstructive lung disorders?
Obstructive lung disorders limits only the amount of air that can be exhaled at a given time.
Individuals with an obstructive lung disorder will have a decreased Forced Expiratory Volume.
Black Lung is an example of an obstructive lung disorder.
All of the above statements are true.
Individuals with an obstructive lung disorder will have a decreased Forced Expiratory Volume.
Match each pulmonary measurement with the correct description.
1. e. Amount of air, in excess of tidal volume that be exhaled with maximal effort
2. c. Amount of air remaining in lungs after maximal expiration
3. g. Deepest breath possible
4. j. Obtained by subtracting ERV from VC
5. b. Amount of air remaining in lungs after normal tidal expiration
6. f. Obtained by adding Vital Capacity and ResidualVolume
7. h. Related to alveolar ventilation rate
8. a. VC - (TV + ERV)
9. i. Obtained by having subject rapidly exhale into a spirometer
10. d. Amount of air inhaled or exhaled in 1 breath during quiet breathing
In the lab video, you were shown a spirometry read out of 3100 ml. of air. Based upon the information presented in the lab, which pulmonary measurement was obtained? (*Note - results taken from a healthy female.)
Vital Capacity 3100 ml.
Using the normative values provided in the lab for a healthy male, calculate the Total Lung Capacity. (To receive full credit, you must include the formula and show your calculations.)
TLC = VC + RV (norm value for VC = 4700 ml., norm value for RV = 1300 ml.)TLC = 4700 ml. + 1300 ml.TLC = 6000 ml. (approximately for a healthy male)
Using the normative values provided in the lab for a healthy male, calculate the Functional Residual Capacity. (To receive full credit, you must include the formula and show your calculations.)
FRV = RV + ERV (norm value for RV = 1300 ml., norm value for ERV = 1200 ml.)FRV = 1300 ml. + 1200 ml.FRV = 2500 ml. (approximately for a healthy male)
You are monitoring someone who has a respiratory rate of 14 breaths per minute. Calculate their Minute Respiratory Volume, assuming they are a healthy adult. (To receive full credit, you must include the formula and show your calculations.)
500 ml (tidal volume) x 14 breaths/min = 7,000 ml/min
MRV = TV x RR (norm value for TV = 500 ml.)MRV = 500 ml. x 14 bpmMRV = 7000 ml./min. [Show Less]
