    Study Notes

    Breathing and Respiratory Terms

    • Eupnea: Normal breathing pattern.
    • -capnia: Suffix referring to carbon dioxide levels in the body.
    • Tuss/o: Combining form meaning cough.
    • -osmia: Suffix indicating smell.
    • -ptysis: Suffix meaning spitting.
    • Spir/o: Combining form for breathing.
    • -phonia: Suffix meaning voice.
    • -pnea: Suffix related to breathing.
    • -plegia: Suffix denoting paralysis.

    Anatomy of the Respiratory System

    • Eustachian Tube: Connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx.
    • Larynx: Commonly known as the voice box.
    • Laryngopharynx: Distal part of the pharynx.
    • Trachea: Windpipe that conducts air to and from the lungs.
    • Epiglottis: Tissue flap that directs food to the esophagus and air to the trachea.
    • Bronchioles: Smaller branches of the bronchi.
    • Palate: Roof of the mouth.
    • Apex of Lungs: Top or pointed end of the lungs.
    • Naresh: Nostrils.

    Lung Function and Capacity

    • 5 Lobes: Total number of lobes present in the lungs.
    • Respiratory Membrane: Site for gas exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    • Functional Residual Capacity (FRC): Air left in the lungs after normal exhalation.
    • Total Lung Capacity (TLC): Volume of air after maximal inhalation.
    • Tidal Volume (TV): Amount of air inhaled or exhaled during resting status.
    • Inspiratory Capacity (IC): Volume that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation.
    • Vital Capacity (VC): Total volume exhaled after maximum inhalation.
    • Residual Volume (RV): Air remaining in the lungs after forceful exhalation.
    • Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Additional air that can be inhaled after a normal breath.
    • Supplemental Air (ERV): Also known as expiratory reserve volume.

    Respiratory Physiology

    • Negative Thoracic Pressure: Occurs during diaphragm contraction, allowing air to flow in.
    • Chest Muscles: Become engaged during forceful inhalation or exhalation.
    • Respiratory Rate: Normal range for adults is 12 to 20 breaths per minute; for newborns, it is 30 to 60 breaths per minute.
    • Carbon Dioxide Levels: Key regulator of the respiratory rate.
    • Intercostal Muscles: Assist in inhalation by raising the rib cage.

    Pathologies and Conditions

    • Hypercapnia: Condition resulting from excess carbon dioxide in the body.
    • Pathogen Defense: Adenoids and tonsils prevent pathogens from entering the body.
    • Pleurodynia: Chest pain related to lung membrane irritation.
    • Laryngitis: Associated with aphonia (loss of voice).
    • Orthopnea: Breathing difficulty relieved by sitting up.

    Diagnostic Tests and Procedures

    • Oximeter: Device measuring blood oxygen levels.
    • Pulmonary Angiography: Technique utilizing dye and X-ray for lung artery visualization.
    • Polysomnography: Assesses for obstructive sleep apnea.
    • Ventilation-Perfusion Scan: Evaluates lung's air and blood flow.
    • Arterial Blood Gases: Tests blood gas composition for oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
    • Sweat Test: Indicates cystic fibrosis presence.
    • Mantoux Test: Tests for prior exposure to tuberculosis.
    • Spirometry: Measures lung capacity and function.
    • Pleurocentesis: Procedure to withdraw fluid from the pleural cavity.

    Treatment Modalities

    • Heimlich Maneuver: Technique to expel objects blocking the airway.
    • Nasal Cannula: Device for delivering supplemental oxygen through the nares.
    • Tracheotomy: Surgical procedure to create an opening in the windpipe.
    • Lobectomy: Surgical removal of a lobe of the lung.
    • Bronchodilator: Medication to open airways during asthma attacks.
    • Antitussives: Medications to suppress cough.
    • Expectorants: Help clear mucus from the airways.
    • Corticosteroids: Used to reduce inflammation in respiratory conditions.
    • Decongestants: Relieve nasal congestion.
    • Antibiotics: Treat bacterial infections in respiratory disorders.
    • Antihistamines: Alleviate allergic reactions affecting the respiratory tract.
