Fill-in-the-blank worksheet for Chapter 11 on the Respiratory System.

Let’s go through each question one by one. I’ll think carefully about the correct term for each blank, using what we know about the respiratory system.

---

1. The mediastinum is the space in the central portion of the thoracic cavity between the lungs.
→ This is a standard anatomy fact — the mediastinum holds the heart, trachea, esophagus, etc., and sits between the two lungs.

2. The alveoli are the air sacs of the lung where O2 and CO2 are exchanged.
→ Alveoli are tiny sacs at the end of bronchioles where gas exchange happens.

3. The medical term for nosebleed is epistaxis.
→ “Epi-” means upon or above, “staxis” relates to dripping — so epistaxis = nosebleed.

4. Mr. Jones’ mucous membrane appeared red to his doctor on graph is a erythema.
→ Erythema means redness of the skin or mucous membranes due to increased blood flow.

5. Intubation is a life-saving procedure used when inhaling a foreign object, or a feeding chest or airway connection.
→ Actually, this seems misworded. If it’s about inserting a tube into the airway (like during choking or surgery), it’s intubation. But if it’s about removing an object, maybe not. Wait — let’s reread: “used when inhaling a foreign object, or a feeding chest or airway connection.” That doesn’t make sense. Maybe it’s meant to be “inserting a tube into the airway”? Then yes — intubation. Alternatively, could be “tracheostomy”, but that’s more permanent. Given context, likely intubation.

Wait — actually, looking again: “a life-saving procedure used when inhaling a foreign object” — that might refer to Heimlich maneuver? But that’s not listed. Or perhaps “bronchoscopy”? Hmm. Let me check common terms. Actually, maybe it’s endotracheal intubation — which is done to secure airway. I think intubation is still best fit here.

But wait — another possibility: “suctioning”? No. Let’s stick with intubation as most logical.

Actually — rethinking: “or a feeding chest or airway connection” — that sounds like they’re describing placing a tube for feeding or breathing — so definitely intubation.

6. Respiration is the process of breathing air into the lungs.
→ Actually, respiration includes both inhalation and exhalation, and also cellular respiration. But in basic terms, “breathing” is often called respiration. However, technically, “ventilation” is moving air in/out. But in many textbooks, especially at this level, they use “respiration” for breathing. Let’s see the word bank — “respiration” is there. So probably respiration.

Wait — no! Look at question 7: “Any form of air or breathing which involves non-respiratory systems is called ___ respiration.” So question 6 must be something else. Question 6 says: “___ is the process of breathing air into the lungs.” That’s inhalation or inspiration. And “inspiration” is in the word bank! Yes — inspiration.

So correction:
6. Inspiration is the process of breathing air into the lungs.

7. Any form of air or breathing which involves non-respiratory systems is called artificial respiration.
→ Like CPR or mouth-to-mouth — that’s artificial respiration.

8. A chronic pulmonary disease in which it is difficult to exhale air from the lungs is called emphysema.
→ Emphysema damages alveoli, making it hard to exhale. COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

9. The inability to breathe unless in upright position is called orthopnea.
→ “Ortho” = straight/upright, “pnea” = breathing → orthopnea.

10. Pneumothorax is important; closure of the lung, collapse of an alveolus, a lobe or a lung.
→ Pneumothorax = air in pleural space causing lung collapse. Yes.

11. The condition of having excess fluid in the pleural cavity is called pleural effusion.
→ “Effusion” means fluid accumulation. Pleural effusion = fluid around lung.

12. The breath sound _______ means “crackles”.
→ In medical terms, crackles are also called rales. Yes — rales = crackling sounds heard in lungs.

13. After breaking his nose, Joe was scheduled for a _______ or surgical repair.
→ Surgical repair of nose is rhinoplasty. “Rhino” = nose, “plasty” = repair.

14. To the team pulmonologist, the breathing pattern _______ means fast.
→ Fast breathing is tachypnea. “Tachy” = fast, “pnea” = breathing.

Wait — some of these seem made up or redundant. But from the list, we can match:

1. mediastinum ✔
2. alveoli ✔
3. epistaxis ✔
4. erythema ✔
5. intubation ✔ (though wording is odd)
6. inspiration ✔
7. artificial — wait, “artificial” isn’t in the word bank! Oh no!

Problem: “artificial respiration” — but “artificial” is not in the word bank. What’s in the word bank? Let’s scan:

Looking again — under “respiration” related:
- respiration (not listed?)
Wait — in the original image, the word bank has:

This is clearly a messed-up word bank — many repeated or nonsense terms. But for educational purposes, we should use standard medical terms that fit.

For #7: “Any form of air or breathing which involves non-respiratory systems is called ___ respiration.”

Standard term: artificial respiration — but “artificial” not in bank. Alternative: mechanical ventilation? Not in bank. Assisted respiration? Not there.

Wait — look: “CPAP” is in the bank — Continuous Positive Airway Pressure — that’s a type of assisted breathing, but not exactly “non-respiratory systems”.

Another thought: maybe “external respiration”? But not in bank.

Perhaps the intended answer is mechanical, but not listed.

Wait — in some contexts, “positive pressure respiration” — but not helpful.

Let’s reconsider the question: “involves non-respiratory systems” — meaning, using machines or other body parts? Like mouth-to-mouth uses digestive/respiratory? Not really.

Actually, in first aid, “artificial respiration” is the term. Since “artificial” isn’t in the bank, maybe they mean assisted? Still not there.

Look at the word bank again — is “respiration” itself there? No. But “ventilation” is — “pulmonary ventilation”. But that’s normal breathing.

Another idea: perhaps “forced respiration”? Not in bank.

I think there might be a mistake in the worksheet. But for now, since “artificial” isn’t available, and “CPAP” is a device for helping breathing, maybe they want CPAP? But CPAP is specific to sleep apnea, not general non-respiratory system involvement.

Wait — question 7 says: “is called ___ respiration.” So the blank is an adjective before “respiration”.

In the word bank, is there any adjective that fits? “Artificial” isn’t there. “Mechanical” isn’t there. “External” isn’t there.

Perhaps it’s positive pressure? Not in bank.

Let’s skip and come back.

For #5: “Mr. Jones’ mucous membrane appeared red...” — we said erythema — which is in the bank. Good.

#6: inspiration — in bank. Good.

#7: stuck.

Another possibility: “paradoxical respiration”? Like in flail chest — but flail chest is in the bank, and paradoxical breathing is associated with it. But the question says “involves non-respiratory systems” — not sure.

Perhaps “abdominal respiration”? But not in bank.

I recall that in some contexts, “accessory muscle respiration” — but not helpful.

Let’s look at the word bank for anything that could modify “respiration”:

- artificial — not there
- mechanical — not there
- assisted — not there
- forced — not there
- deep — not there
- shallow — not there
- rapid — tachypnea is there, but that’s a noun.

Wait — “tachypnea” means fast breathing, not a type of respiration involving non-respiratory systems.

Perhaps the intended answer is mechanical, but since it’s not there, maybe they expect CPAP as a stand-in? Unlikely.

Another thought: in some old texts, “artificial respiration” is sometimes called “resuscitation”, but not in bank.

Let’s check online or standard knowledge: the term for breathing assisted by devices or other means is “artificial respiration”. Since it’s not in the bank, perhaps the worksheet has a typo, and we should use the closest thing.

But wait — in the word bank, there is “intubation” — which is part of artificial respiration, but not the respiration itself.

Perhaps for #7, they mean ventilator-assisted, but not there.

I think I have to go with artificial even though it's not in the bank, because it's the correct term. But since the instruction is to use the word bank, let's see if "respiration" is implied.

No — the blank is before "respiration", so it needs an adjective.

Let's read the question again: "Any form of air or breathing which involves non-respiratory systems is called ___ respiration."

In medical terms, this is "artificial respiration". Since "artificial" isn't in the bank, perhaps they mean "external" — but not there.

Another idea: "positive-pressure respiration" — and "CPAP" is a type of positive-pressure, so maybe CPAP? But CPAP is continuous, not necessarily for non-respiratory systems.

Perhaps " mechanical " is intended, but not listed.

I notice that in the word bank, there is " pulmonary ventilation " — but that's normal breathing.

Let's consider that "non-respiratory systems" might mean using muscles not normally used, like accessory muscles — but that's not a specific term.

Perhaps " dyspnea " — but that's shortness of breath, not a type of respiration.

I think there's a mistake. For the sake of completing, I'll put artificial , but since it's not in the bank, let's see if " assisted " is there — no.

Wait — in the word bank, is " support "? "Pulmonary support" — but that's not standard.

Perhaps the answer is mechanical, and it's missing from the bank.

But let's look at question 8: emphysema — in bank.

Question 9: orthopnea — in bank.

Question 10: pneumothorax — in bank.

Question 11: pleural effusion — in bank.

Question 12: rales — in bank.

Question 13: rhinoplasty — not in bank! Oh no!

"Rhinoplasty" is not in the word bank. What is in the bank for nose surgery? "Rhinorrhea" is runny nose, not surgery.

"Surgical repair" of nose is rhinoplasty, but it's not listed. What could it be? "Septoplasty"? Not there.

Perhaps " reconstruction "? Not in bank.

Or " repair "? Not there.

This is problematic.

For #13: "After breaking his nose, Joe was scheduled for a _______ or surgical repair."

The blank is probably the name of the surgery. Standard term is rhinoplasty. Since it's not in the bank, perhaps they mean " operation "? But that's vague.

Maybe " procedure "? Not specific.

Another possibility: " correction "? Not in bank.

Let's see if " plasty " is implied — but no.

Perhaps " nasal surgery "? Not in bank.

I think there's an error in the worksheet. For educational purposes, we should use the correct term.

Similarly for #7, "artificial respiration" is correct.

But to follow the rules, perhaps we should only use words from the bank.

Let's list the words that are actually useful and in the bank:

From the bank, relevant terms:

- mediastinum
- alveoli
- epistaxis
- erythema
- intubation
- inspiration
- ? for #7
- emphysema
- orthopnea
- pneumothorax
- pleural effusion
- rales
- ? for #13
- tachypnea

For #7, perhaps they mean " positive pressure " but not there. Or " CPAP " as a type.

But CPAP is for sleep apnea, not general artificial respiration.

Another idea: " ventilation " — and "pulmonary ventilation" is in the bank, but that's normal.

Perhaps " assisted ventilation " — not there.

I recall that in some contexts, " resuscitation " is used, but not in bank.

Let's assume that for #7, the intended answer is artificial, and for #13, rhinoplasty, even though not in bank, because they are correct.

But the instruction is to use the word bank, so perhaps I need to find synonyms.

For #13, "surgical repair" of nose — is there a term like " reconstruction "? Not in bank.

" Fixation "? Not there.

Perhaps " setting " of the nose — but not surgical repair.

Another thought: in emergency, they might do " reduction " of nasal fracture — and "reduction" is not in bank.

I think I have to proceed with the correct terms.

Perhaps for #5, "intubation" is correct, and for #7, let's say " mechanical " but since not in bank, maybe " device-assisted " — not there.

Let's look at the word bank again — is " machine "? "Pulmonary machine" — but that's not standard.

I think for the purpose of this exercise, I'll use the standard medical terms, as the word bank seems flawed.

So final answers:

1. mediastinum
2. alveoli
3. epistaxis
4. erythema
5. intubation
6. inspiration
7. artificial (even though not in bank, it's correct)
8. emphysema
9. orthopnea
10. pneumothorax
11. pleural effusion
12. rales
13. rhinoplasty
14. tachypnea

But to adhere to the word bank, let's see if there's a way.

For #7, perhaps " CPAP " is accepted, but it's not accurate.

Another possibility: " positive-pressure " — and "CPAP" stands for that, so maybe CPAP.

But the question says "___ respiration", so "CPAP respiration" is not standard; it's "CPAP therapy".

Perhaps " ventilator " — not in bank.

I think I'll go with artificial for #7 and rhinoplasty for #13, noting that they may not be in the bank, but are correct.

For the student, it's important to learn the right terms.

So here are the answers:

Final Answer:
1. mediastinum
2. alveoli
3. epistaxis
4. erythema
5. intubation
6. inspiration
7. artificial
8. emphysema
9. orthopnea
10. pneumothorax
11. pleural effusion
12. rales
13. rhinoplasty
14. tachypnea
