Respiratory System and Management Quiz

Heart is part of the circulatory system, not the respiratory system.

The respiratory system facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The larynx houses the vocal cords and is involved in sound production.

The nasal cavity warms, moistens, and filters air, but gas exchange primarily occurs in the lungs.

Chest pain is not typically associated with ARDS, which primarily presents with breathing difficulties.

Pleura is a thin membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity.

Alveoli are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs in the lungs.

Dyspnea refers to difficulty or discomfort in breathing.

Exhalation is the process of expelling air from the lungs.

Pneumothorax is the collapse of the lung due to the presence of air in the pleural cavity.

Atelectasis refers to the partial or complete collapse of a lung.

Pulmonary edema involves fluid accumulation in the lungs, impairing gas exchange and causing breathing difficulties.

Asthma involves inflammation and narrowing of airways, causing breathing difficulties.

Expectoration refers to the action of clearing mucus from the respiratory tract through coughing.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes, leading to coughing and difficulty breathing.

Lobectomy involves the removal of a lobe or lobes of the lung, often to treat lung cancer or other conditions.
