Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology Chapter 6

Front 1

Aliquot

Back 1

Equally divided portions

Front 2

Bronchial gland

Back 2

Mucus-producing exocrine glands found in the submucosa. They are stimulated by parasympathetic nerves and secrete a relatively watery fluid

Front 3

Bronchorrhea

Back 3

Excessive discharge of respiratory secretions

Front 4

Endogeneous surfactant

Back 4

Complex mixture of phospholipids and proteins produced in the lungs by the type II pneumocytes. It plays a crucial role in reducing alveolar surface tension and preventing alveolar collapse

Front 5

Exogenous sufactant

Back 5

Sufactant drugs that are produced outside of the patient's own body. They may be obtained from humans or animals, or synthesized in the laboratory.

Front 6

Expectorant

Back 6

Substance that improves expectoration of respiratory secretions by increasing the output from the bronchial glands

Front 7

Goblet cell

Back 7

Found in the mucosal eputhelium, these secretory cells produce gelatinous mucus. Topical irritation and exposure to irritants increase their size and number

Front 8

Hydrophillc

Back 8

Molecules or substance that is attracted to water

Front 9

Hypertonic

Back 9

A solution containing a greater concentration of salt than is normally found in the body

Front 10

Hypotonic

Back 10

A solution containing a lower concentration of salt normally found in the body

Front 11

Isotonic

Back 11

A solution containing the same concentration of salt as that found in the body

Front 12

Maintenance therapy

Back 12

Medications that provide long-term control of symptoms, such as shortness of breath and wheezing; usually taken daily

Front 13

Rhinorrhea

Back 13

Excessive secretion from the nose

Front 14

Stomatitis

Back 14

Inflammation of the mucous lining in the mouth

Front 15

Surface tension

Back 15

Force of contraction at the surface of a liquid that pulls the molecules at the surface inward and down

Front 16

Surfactant

Back 16

Complex mixture of phospholipids and proteins produced in the lung by type II pneumocytes. It plays a crucial role in reducing alveolar surface tension and preventing alveolar collapse

Front 17

Viscoelastic

Back 17

Having the ability to change from thick to thin and back

Front 18

DNase

Back 18

Deoxyribonuclease

Front 19

IRDS

Back 19

Infant respiratory distress syndrome

Front 20

NaCl

Back 20

Sodium chloride, or salt

Front 21

RDS

Back 21

Respiratory distress syndrome

Front 22

SP

Back 22

Surface proteins

Front 23

Diseases that increase the volume or thickness of mucus

Back 23

Chronic bronchitis, Asthma, Cystic fibrosis, Acute Bronchitis, Pneumonia

Front 24

Factors that impair ciliary activity

Back 24

Endotracheal tube, extremes of temperture,high concentration of oxygen, dust, fumes, smoke, dehydration, thick mucus, infection

Front 25

Factors that lead to dehydration and thick mucus

Back 25

Increase respiratory rate, increase depth of breathing, systemic fluid loss, infectons

Front 26

SP-A

Back 26

Has host-defense properties; activates macrophage function; facilitates phagocytosis of pathgens

Front 27

SP-B

Back 27

Critical to surface tension-lowering property of surfactant

Front 28

SP-C

Back 28

Facilitates surfactant spreading

Front 29

SP-D

Back 29

Functions as host-defense mechanism by bilnding to pathgens
