Across
  1. 2. LOW blood pressure
  2. 4. 1+
  3. 6. regular breathing with a rate LESS than 12/min -common in well conditioned athletes
  4. 8. the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the aveoli and red blood cells
  5. 11. the amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart
  6. 12. Korotkoff phase that is distinct, loud, and sharp sounds
  7. 13. HIGH blood pressure
  8. 16. the amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute
  9. 20. normal breathing
  10. 22. body temperature regulator is
  11. 24. heartbeat produces a wave of blood that causes pulsations through arteries
  12. 26. difficult or painful breathing
  13. 27. Korotkoff phase that is the last sound heard
  14. 30. when an elevated temperature gradually returns to normal
  15. 32. when oxygen is low in capillaries and pulse ox is lower then 95-100
  16. 34. a condition in which the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm
  17. 35. Korotkoff phase that sounds like blowing, muffled, or swishing similar to phase 4
  18. 37. the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs through inspiration and expiration
  19. 39. regular breathing pattern with a rate GREATER than 20/min
  20. 40. elevated body temperature (greater than 40°C or 104°F)
  21. 42. nervous system that controls the heart rate
  22. 43. created in the nose or back of the throat; typically low pitched and most closely sounds like nasal congestion
  23. 47. short, high pitched, discontinuous, intermittent, popping sounds -aka "rales"
  24. 48. when blood pressure is at its HIGHEST with each heart beat during heart contraction
  25. 49. a condition in which the pulse is consistently above normal
Down
  1. 1. 3+
  2. 3. pulse rate is continuously slow (<55 to 60 BPM) normal for athletes
  3. 5. Korotkoff phase that sounds distinct, abrupt, muffling sounds with a soft blowing quality similar to phase 2
  4. 7. the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure readings
  5. 9. the force on the walls of the arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body
  6. 10. the regularity of impulses/pulse pattern
  7. 12. Korotkoff phase that is the first appearance of faint, but clear tapping sounds
  8. 14. both an inspiration and expiration
  9. 15. wheeze-like sound usually due to a blockage of airflow in the trachea
  10. 17. at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line
  11. 18. nervous system that lowers the heart rate
  12. 19. increased respiratory rate, regular patter, but abnormally deep
  13. 21. the number of times per minute you feel or hear the pulse
  14. 22. deep breathing pattern with increased rate
  15. 23. body temperature below than 35°C or 95°F
  16. 25. nervous system that raises the heart rate
  17. 28. 60 to 80 bpm
  18. 29. a sudden drop from fever to normal temperature
  19. 31. when blood pressure is at its LOWEST when the heart releases before it begins to contract again
  20. 33. rate and depth controlled by the respiratory center
  21. 36. irregular rate and depth of respirations that follow a cynical pattern -common in dying patients
  22. 38. high pitched whistling noise; usually a sign that something is making your airway narrow or keeping air flowing through them -common causes are lung disease and asthma
  23. 39. can't use because it has a pulse of its own
  24. 41. the flow of red blood cells to and from the pulmonary capillaries. -measured with pulse oximetry
  25. 44. course rattling respiratory sounds -sounds like snoring
  26. 45. the amount of chest wall expansion that occurs with each breath
  27. 46. structure that initiates the pulse
