Number Answer Explnation

11 1 breathing in

402b and

402 para

2 t2

inspiration (in, - spir/o, -ation)

Also inhalation

11 2 smell 402 para 4t olfaction

Although the sense of smell, olfaction, is not

strictly a function of respiration, it is accomplished

by the tissue in the nasal cavity, which receives the

stimulus for smell an routes it to the brain through

the nervous system.

11 3 waste product respiration 402

line 3t

para3b

Carbon dioxide (CO2)--Capn/o

External respiration

Excreting the waste product of cellular respiration,carbon dioxide (CO2).

External respiration is he process of exchanging

O2 an CO2 between the external environment and

the lungs. Internal respiration is the exchanges

of gases etween the lungs and blood.

11 4 production of sound

402

408t

para 3t

t1

larynx and sinuses

phon/o

The function of producing sound for speech and

singing is accomplished by the intereaction of air

and the structures of the voice box, the larynx,

and the hollow cavities, the sinuses, connected

to the nasal passages.

11 5 lower respiratory system

402

para 3b

trache/othe trachea (wind pipe), bronchial tree,

and lungs. Physiologically, it is divided

into onduction passageways and gas

exchange surfaces.

Physiologically, it is divided into conduction

passageways and gas exchange surfaces.

11 6 upper respiratory system 402 para 3b

pharyng/o;laryng/o;rhin/o or nas/o

nose, pharynx (the throat) and larynx

(voice box).

11 7

gasses exchange - lungs +

blood 404 bottom internal respiration

The bronchules end in microscopic ducts

cappedby air sacs called alveoli (sing. alveolus).

Each alveolus is in contact with a blood capllary to

provide a means of exchange of gases. It is at this

point that O2 is diffused across cell membranes

and bthe bloodcells, and CO2 is diffused out to be

expired.

11 8 plural sinus 402b

Bottom: be

careful sinuses The plural of sinus is not sini, but sinuses.

11 9 part of throat behind mouth 404b t3

oropharynx

(or/o = mouth); pharyng/o =

pharynx=throat).

The oropharynx is the part of the throat posterior

to the oral cavity.

11 10 nostrils 402 para 1b nares

Air enters the body through the two nares

(nostrils) of the nose that are separated by the

nasal septum.

12 11 31 pairs of spinal neres 440

redicul/o or rhiz/o

(nerve root)

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed

of the nerves that extend from the brain and spinalcord to the tissues of the body. There are

organized into 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31

pairs of spinal nerves.

12 12 single afferent nerve

446447

440

b1Fig. 12-7

para 3b

Dermatome (dermat/o = skin; -tome =

instrument used to cut)

Dermatomes are skin surface areas supplied bya

single afferent spinal nerve. These areas are so

specific that it is actually possible to map the body

by dermatomes (Fig. 12-7 on page 447).

Afferent nerves carry impulses to the brain and

spinal cord.

Efferent nerves carry impulses from the brain andspinal cord to either voluntary or involuntary

muscles.

12 13 loss memory 450t t1 Amnesia

Loss of memory caused by brain damage or

severe emotional trauma.

12 14 onset seizure

450t

b2

Fig. 12-19

Aura;Neuromuscula reaction to

abnormal electrical activity within the

brain (Fig 12-19 on page 465). Causesinclude fever or epilepsy, a recurring

seizure disorder; also called

convulsions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epileptic_seizure

Clinicians organize different types of seizure

according to whether the source of the seizure

within the brain is localized (partial- or focal-onset

seizures) or distributed (generalized seizures).Partial seizures are further divided on the extent to

which consciousness is affected (simple partial

seizures and complex partial seizures).

12 15 fainting -- emotional stress 451t t1

Vasovagal attack is a form of

syncope that resusults from abrupt

emotional stress involving the vagus

nerve'seffect on blood vessels.

Vagus nverve is the longest cranal nerve,

extending from the brain to the abdomen. It brings

snesory information back to the brain from ear,

tongue, pharynx and larynx

(http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?arti

clekey=7631).

12 16 athetosis 453t t3

Continuous, involuntary, slow, writhing

(twisting) movement of the extremities.

12 17 difficult swallowing 450t t5

dysphagia (dys- = difficult; phag/o =

eat; -ia = condition) Condition of difficulty with swallowing.

12 18prickling, burning ornumbness 450t b3

parasthesia (para- = abnormal;esthsi/o = feeling, -ia = condition) Feeling of prickling, burning or numbness.

12 19 disorder walking 450t b6 gait, abnormal

Diorder in the manner of walking. An example is

ataxia, a lack of muscular coordination, as in

cerebral palsy.

12 20 involuntary contraction 450t

t7,

b1 fasciculation

fasciculation = involuntary contration of small,

localmuscles.

Spasm = involuntary muscle contraction of sudden

onset. Examples are hiccoughs, tics, and

stuttering.

12 21 lack muscular coordination 450t b6 ataxia

Diorder in the manner of walking. An example is

ataxia, a lack of muscular coordination, as incerebral palsy.

12 22 excessive sleep 450t t6 hypersomnia

dyssomnia = disorders of the sleep-wake cycles.

Insomnia = iability to sleep or stay asleep

hypersomnia = excessive depthor lengthof sleep,

which may be accompanied by daytime

sleepiness.

12 23 dizziness 451t t3 vertigo

Dizziness; abnormal sensation of movement when

there is none, either of oneself moving, or of

objects moving around oneself.

12 24 convulsions 450t b2 Seizure. Also called convulsions.

Seizure is a neuromuscular reaction to abnormal

fever or epilepsy, a recurring seizure disorder; also

called convulsions.
