Study Notes
Body Cavities and Muscles
- Abdominal Cavity: Houses digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems; separated from thoracic cavity by diaphragm.
- Thoracic Cavity: Contains the lungs and heart; partially surrounded by ribs; separated from abdominal cavity by diaphragm.
- Diaphragm: Muscle forming the bottom wall of thoracic cavity; plays a pivotal role in ventilation by contracting and relaxing to facilitate breathing.
Respiratory Anatomy
- Alveoli: Terminal air sacs responsible for gas exchange in lungs.
- Lungs: Organ that facilitates air intake and oxygen transfer to red blood cells.
- Lobes of the Lungs: Five lobes total; right lung has three (upper, middle, lower) and left lung has two (upper, lower).
- Bronchi: Two major airways branching from the trachea into lungs.
- Bronchioles: Smaller airways leading from bronchi to alveoli.
Breathing Mechanism
- Inhalation: Caused by contraction of the diaphragm, creating negative pressure that draws air into the lungs.
- Exhalation: Triggered by relaxation of the diaphragm, expelling air from the lungs.
Respiratory Health
- Symptoms of Asthma: Includes coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
- Physiological Cause of Asthma: Involves swelling and constriction of bronchioles' inner lining.
- Measurement of Respiratory Health: Evaluated through peak flow tests and spirometry.
Pharmacology Basics
- Pharmacology: Study of drugs and their effects on living systems.
- Dosage: Specific amount of drug needed to achieve desired effects.
- Prescription Abbreviations: Specific terms indicating how often, when, and how much medication to take, including modes of administration.
Drug Administration Routes
- Enteral Routes: Include oral (by mouth), sublingual (under the tongue), and buccal (between gums and cheeks).
- Parenteral Routes: Include intradermal (just under the skin), subcutaneous (under the skin in upper body areas), and intramuscular (into muscle tissues).
Resume Components
- Resumes must be concise, targeted to specific jobs, and include education, qualifications, and relevant experiences.
