What is the process by which oxygenated capillary blood passes through the body tissues called?

Which of the following factors can decrease the ability of the lungs to distend or expand?

What is the term for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmospheric air and blood in the capillaries?

Which part of the brain regulates respiration?

Which condition is characterized by decreased respirations and retention of CO2?

What is the normal range for PaO2 in arterial blood gas (ABG) values?

Which condition is characterized by increased rate and depth of respirations, leading to removal of CO2 faster than it is produced?

Match the following conditions with their potential outcomes:

True or false: Hypoventilation can lead to respiratory alkalosis.

True or false: Hyperventilation can occur with severe anxiety.

True or false: Hypoxia is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate administration of oxygen.

True or false: Decreased O2 carrying capacity can occur with anemia and carbon monoxide poisoning.

True or false: Hypovolemia can lead to decreased circulating blood volume.

Gas exchange is made possible by ventilation, which is the movement of air into and out of the lungs.

The compliance of the lung tissue refers to the ability of the lungs to distend or expand.

Conditions such as emphysema and fibrosis can decrease lung compliance.

A CNS injury, such as a stroke, can affect respirations.

Gas exchange occurs through the process of respiration, which is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmospheric air and blood in the capillaries.
