Patients with chronic bronchitis are known as “____ bloaters” because they have a blunted respiratory response to high blood CO2 (hypercarbia), which produces an inappropriately low respiratory drive that results in hypoxemia and cyanosis.
During inspiration, the chest walls expand, lowering the pressure inside the lungs which draws in air. This process can be described by which law?
These closed air sacs are used to increase surface area for gas exchange in the lungs
If the chest wall is punctured, air will flow into the pleural space creating a ____
Neuromuscular disease (syndrome) that can affect respiratory function by causing respiratory muscle weakness and may require mechanical ventilation.
Diagnose asthma by airway hyperactivity. _____ given during a pulmonary function test to provoke bronchospasm.
Pneumonia, an infection of the airspaces, results in pus-filled alveoli, which reduces alveolar ventilation in the affected areas. Patients can become _____ and require supplemental O2.
____ can be defined as mechanical events producing gas movement in the lung, which results in CO2 elimination from the body.
Compliance is referred to as an _____ property and is measured without gas flow
This law is used to estimate alveolar O2 partial pressure when investigating the basis of low arterial O2 content

When quantifying dead space, the highest concentration of CO2 is found in the ____.
blood gas interface consists of how many elements
process where air enters the lungs and comes into contact with alveoli
muscles that power the movement of air into the lungs during inspiration.
High velocity causes turbulent air flow, which generates a _____ sound.
The ___ equation applies the idea that the difference between alveolar PCO2 and expired PCO2 is a function of the dead space volume
Patients with emphysema are known as “___ puffers” because they are able to maintain adequate O2 saturation by hyperventilating. The classic profile of a “pink puffer” is a thin person sitting in tripod position, breathing with pursed lips.
___ is a common Beta-2 agonist used for asthma.
