Fear and Anxiety A fear is composed of both operant and respondent behavior; typically a person becomes afraid of a particular stimulus or stimulus situation. When the stimulus is present‚ the person experiences unpleasant bodily responses and (autonomic nervous system arousal- respondent behavior) and engages in avoidance or escape behavior- operant behavior. A phobia is when the level of anxiety or escape behavior is severe enough to disrupt the person’s life. fears/phobias result of classical

of the heart are typically heard in the right sternal margin of the 5th intercostal space. For the Mitral (bicuspid) valve‚ sounds are heard over the heart apex‚ in the 5th intercostal space. This is in line with the middle of the clavicle. (Lutchman‚ 2016‚ PowerPoint). The pulmonary valve sounds are heard in the 2nd intercostal space at the left sternal margin. Lastly‚ the aortic valve sounds are heard in the 2nd intercostal space‚ which is at the right sternal margin (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2015‚ 671-673)

option of breathing through their mouths and must take in oxygen through their noses. Elephants The elephant is the only animal known to have no pleural space. Rather‚ the parietal and visceral pleura are both composed of dense connective tissue and joined to each other via loose connective tissue.[3] This lack of a pleural space‚ along with an unusually thick diaphragm‚ are thought to be evolutionary adaptations allowing the elephant to remain underwater for long periods of time while breathing through

Worksheet 31 answers: 1. a) Nostril _ nasal cavity _ pharynx _ larynx _ trachea _ bronchi _ bronchioles b) The lungs are efficient for gaseous exchange because: • The lungs are made of numerous alveoli which provide a large surface area for gaseous exchange • The surfaces of the alveoli are moist for gases to dissolve • The alveolar wall is thin consisting of one layer of epithelial cells • Each alveolus is surrounded by numerous capillary network c) i) Because they have an anti-sticking

Terms Definitions What activity are you simulating when you click the ERV button? What additional muscles are used? Maximal exhalation; internal intercostal and abdominal wall muscles What does the pump rate simulate? The number of beats per minute (BPM) stimulates respiratory rate How did changing the radius effect FEV (%)? FEV decreased in response to decrease in radius What effect does the addition of surfactant have on the airflow? AIrflow increases because resistance is reduced

Exercise 7 Review Sheet Definitions/Explanations: Respiration: The entire process of gas exchange in the body; it includes each of the following: 1. Pulmonary Ventilation (AKA breathing): The follow of air into and out of the lungs. The result of muscle contraction of the diaphragm. Ventilation consists of two parts: a. Inspiration: The process that occurs when atmospheric gas is drawn into the lungs by way of contraction of the diaphragm which causes expansion of the thoracic
