Across
- 5. a condition where the body is unable to adequately remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide
- 7. Small air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Damage of this can can contribute to respiratory failure
- 8. The process of adding oxygen to the blood, which is impaired in Type 1 respiratory failure.
- 9. The process by which gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) move from areas of high concentration to low concentration across the alveolar-capillary membrane
- 10. The process of moving air in and out of the lungs to facilitate oxygen intake and carbon dioxide expulsion.
Down
- 1. impairment of oxygen in the blood not enough oxygen in the blood to properly perfuse tissue
- 2. A condition where there is a deficiency of oxygen in the tissues often seen in Type 1 respiratory failure
- 3. Reduced breathing rate and depth, leading to inadequate ventilation and CO2 retention, which can contribute to respiratory failure
- 4. A situation where blood bypasses the alveoli, leading to poor oxygenation of blood, as it does not participate in gas exchange.
- 6. A condition where the blood becomes too acidic, which can occur due to CO₂ retention in Type 2 respiratory failure.
