The primary toxicity of pulmonary agents is to the?
airway inhalation
Which pulmonary agent is relatively insoluble in water and relatively slow to react to chemically and by reason of these characteristics affects primarily the smaller airways?
Phosgene (CG) !!
What is ipatropium bromide and Albuterol classified as?
Ipatropium bromide is classified as an anti-cholinergic. it is used to treat bronchospasm and chronic obstructive lung disease. Albuterol is classified as a bronchodilator used also to treat bronchospasm, but by a different mechanism.
What is a airborne transmission?
the transmission of pathogens - bacteria, viruses, spores- in the atmosphere from person to persons for example coughing and sneezing expels the dust, pathogens etc out of the airways into the atmosphere where they can easily be inhaled by anyone or settle on inate objects to be transferred at a later date.
Does water vapor is added to inspired air in the upper airways when subject is breathing normally and at rest?
yes
Is also known as the guardian of the airways?
The ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium is also known as the guardian of the airways because its mucous-covered cilia help trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract, protecting the lungs from infection and damage.
Where is the mucus of the trachea expelled from?
The mucus of the trachea is expelled from the respiratory tract through a process called mucociliary clearance. Cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the trachea, move the mucus upwards toward the throat. Once it reaches the throat, the mucus can be swallowed or coughed out. This mechanism helps keep the airways clear of dust, pathogens, and other debris.
When did British airways flight BA 0288 from Phoenix to Heathrow land?
Normally lands at 1305 the day after departure.
Which respiratory disease causes airways to narrow or become blocked when dustsmokeor cold air is present?
Asthma is one that comes to mind. COPD is chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.
What is the purpose of the mucociliary escalator mechanism?
The mucociliary escalator mechanism is a defense system in the respiratory tract that helps clear mucus, pathogens, and foreign particles from the airways. It consists of ciliated epithelial cells that line the respiratory passages, which move in coordinated waves to propel mucus upwards toward the throat. This process facilitates the removal of inhaled irritants and microorganisms, helping to protect the lungs from infection and maintain respiratory health. Ultimately, it plays a critical role in keeping the airway clear and functioning properly.
Does The pulmonary circulatory system supplies blood to the lungs?
Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood back to the heart. The term pulmonary circulation is readily paired and contrasted with the systemic circulation. A separate system known as the bronchial circulation supplies blood to the tissue of the larger airways of the lung.
Scientific name for Respiratory system?
The scientific name for the respiratory system is the "pulmonary system." It is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body through the lungs and airways.
