The nurse and nursing student are assessing a client experiencing shock. The nurse teaches the student that which of these findings reflects compensatory sympathetic stimulation in a shock state? a) decrease in the serum creatinine b) overgrowth of the glomerular basement membrane c) increase in thyroid hormone production d) decreased urine output correct answers d) decreased urine output During periods of strong sympathetic stimulation, such as shock, constriction of the afferent ar...

Blood pH • Neither blood buffer systems nor the respiratory control mechanisms for carbon dioxide elimination can eliminate H+ from the body - this is accomplished by the kidneys • The ability of the kidneys to excrete large amounts of H+ in the urine is accomplished by combining the excess ions with buffers in the urine o The three major urine buffers are bicarbonate (HCO3 -), phosphate (HPO42 -), and ammonia (NH3) • An important aspect of this buffer system is that the deamination proces...

Covers local cords and trachea during swallowing Prevents movement of air into the lungs Food and water to esophagus Air to trachea Lung Anatomy - correct answer. Right lung: 3 lobes Left lung: 2 lobes Left has oblique fissure Right has oblique fissure and Horizontal fissure Cardiac notch is anatomical hallmark for position of left ventricle All cardiac output travels ...

Be familiar with left and right sided heart failure and what the consequences are (remember the case study that we did in lecture and lab?) (698) Left side: One cause of mitral insufficiency, in which there is backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium, is mitral valve prolapse (MVP). In MVP one or both cusps of the mitral valve protrude into the left atrium during ventricular contraction. Mitral valve prolapse is one of the most common valvular disorders, affecting as much ...

WSU Bio 315 Lecture Exam 4 Questions with Verified Solutions While examining a microscopic specimen of lung tissue, an anatomy student identified a structure as being part of the conducting zone of the bronchial tree. The structure was lined by simple cuboidal epithelium and contained smooth muscle in its wall but had no cartilage. This structure is most likely a(n) ____________ bronchiole the only portion of the respiratory system lined by stratified squamous epithelium is _________...

Florida University: Chapter 20-31| NUR 3125Med-Surg Exam 3 Chapter 20: Assessment of Respiratory Function Purpose of the respiratory system ● Deliver oxygen to the body, expels carbon dioxide from the body ○ Works with the circulatory system ● Upper respiratory system: warms and fills air ○ Nose: serves as passageway, filters impurities, humidifies and warms air ○ Sinuses and nasal passages ■ Paranasal sinuses: lines with mucosa and ciliated pseudostratified epithelium; s...

Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care Presentation Latest . Embryonic Development of the Lung B. Development of the Fetal Heart: 1. When the heart first develops, it’s nothing more than a tube formed from the fusion of two other tubes. 2. By day 22 or 23 after conception, which is week five of pregnancy, the heart begins to beat and can be seen on vaginal ultrasound as a tiny flicker. 3. The developing heart, nothing more than a tube, consist of 3 layers and 3 specific areas. 4. The...

Gas Exchange - ANSWER Process by which O2 is transported to cells and CO2 is transported from cells Scope of Gas Exchange - ANSWER Optimal - Impaired - Cessation Hypoxia - ANSWER Low O2 delivery to tissues Hypoxemia - ANSWER Decreased O2 in blood Anoxia - ANSWER Lack of O2 Vital Capacity - ANSWER volume of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation (Assesses strength of thoracic muscles and pulmonary function) Chest Compliance - ANSWER Ability of chest to expand ...
