A series of exercises and questions related to the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. It covers topics such as the structures of the respiratory pathway, the functions of different respiratory components, and the differences between restrictive and obstructive lung disorders. The document also includes calculations related to pulmonary ventilation and alveolar ventilation.

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, trachea, main bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli which of the following statements are false regarding structures within the respiratory tract a. the trachea contains cartilaginous rings to keep it from collapsing as the air flows through it b. if a patient were to aspirate, the content would likely enter the right 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 ✔✔c. the bronchi are a part of the respiratory division of the respiratory tract you are assessing a patient admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. they are breathing at a rate of 30 breaths per minute, what is their alveolar ventilation ✔✔AVR = 350 mL x 30 bpm = 10,500 mL/min list two reasons why we measure pulmonary ventilation ✔✔1. to assess pulmonary function
using the normative values provided in the lab for a healthy male, calculate the total lung capacity ✔✔TLC = VC + RV = 4700mL + 1300mL = 6000mL using the normative values provided in the lab for a healthy male, calculate the functional residual capacity ✔✔FRC = RV + ERV = 1300mL + 1200mL = 2500mL 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 ✔✔MRV = TV x RR = 500mL x 14bpm = 7000 mL/min you are assessing a child admitted to the hospital with croup. they are breathing at a rate of 30 breaths per minute. what is their alveolar ventilation rate ✔✔AVR = 350mL x 32bpm = 11, mL/min which of the following statements is false regarding restrictive lung disorders a. in a restrictive lung disorder the lungs are limited with the amount of air that can be inhaled b. any disorder that produced pulmonary fibrosis is considered a restrictive lung disorder c. tuberculosis is an example of a restrictive lung disorder ✔✔all are true which of the following statements is true regarding obstructive lung disorders
a. obstructive lung disorders limits only the amount of air that can be exhaled at a given time b. individuals with an obstructive lung disorder will have a decreased forced expiratory volume c. black lung is an example of an obstructive lung disorder ✔✔b. individuals with an obstructive lung disorder will have a decreased forced expiratory volume
