What is a pneumothorax?

Select one of the following:

Puncture of the pleural cavity causing abnormal movements of air

Question 9 of 32

1

What will happen to air in a pneumothorax during expiration?

Select one of the following:

Air leaves pleural cavity

Explanation

Question 10 of 32

1

What will happen to air in a pneumothorax during inspiration?

Select one of the following:

Leaves the pleural cavity
Enters the pleural cavity

Explanation

Question 11 of 32

1

Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

Fill in the blanks to describe a tension pneumothorax.
A tension pneumothorax occurs when the defect in the chest wall acts as a flap . During , the defect and air cannot leave the thorax. During , great pressure caused by the pleural cavity filling with causes the heart to be shifted to the right. This compresses the heart and lung.

Explanation

Question 14 of 32

1

Why is there consolidation of lung tissue in x-rays of chests with pneumonia?

Select one of the following:

Question 15 of 32

1

What is pleural effusion?

Select one of the following:

Irritants in the parietal pleura stimulate serous membranes to produce extra fluid
