tasteless, colorless, odorless gas produced by body cells during the metabolic process

Tough, elastic connective tissue that is more rigid than ligaments but less dense than bone

a hairlike structure

moving or spreading out of a substance at random, rather than by chemical reaction or application of external forces

state in which the regulatory mechanisms of the body maintain a constant internal environment despite changes in the external environment

moist tissue layer lining hollow organs and cavities of the body that open to the environment

tasteless, colorless, odorless gas essential for human respiration

symbol that indicates the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance

wall dividing two cavities such as the nasal septum, which separates the two nostrils

thin layer of tissue that covers internal body cavities, the cells of which secrete a fluid that keeps the membrane moist

tube for air and food; 3 sections

seals off air passage to the lungs during swallowing

divide into lobes; 3 in the right and 2 in the left

space between the right and left lung

pulmonology

pulmonologist

(COPD) collection of repiratory disorders characterized by chronic parial obstruction of the air passages

disease that causes alveoli of the lungs to lose elasticity, barrel chest appearance

spasms in the bronchial passages that may be sudden and violent and lead to dyspnea (painful breathing)

inflammation of the bronchi cause mainly by smoking and air pollution

also known as the flu, acute infectious respiratory disease

flu; world epidemics

mild flu not associated with epidemic

excess of fluid in the pleural cavity

listening to the sounds of the chest cavity with a stethoscope

gently tapping the chest with the fingers to determine the position , size, or consistency of the underlying structures

pus in the pleural space

serum in the peural space

blood in the pleural space

air in the pleural space

infectious disease of the lungs; abbreviated TB
caused by droplets of respiratory secretions of infected individuals through cough, sneeze, or laughing

inflammatory disease of the lungs, caused by bacteria, virus, or fungi

spitting of blood

rapid breathing

hereditary disorder affects lungs, pancreas, and digestive tract

excessive acidity of body fluids

absence of the sence of smell

temporary loss of breathing

dificiency of oxygen in tissues

dificiency of oxygen in the blood

head cold; upper respiratory infection

common childhood condition involving inflammation of the larynx, trachea, bronchial passages and sometimes lungs

repeated breathing pattern characterized by fluctuation in the depth of respiration, first deeply, than shallow, than not at all

nosebleed

acute infectious disease characterized by a cough that has a "whoop" sound

abnormal respiratory sound heard on ausculation, caused by exudates, spasms, hyperplasia, or when air enters moisture-filled alveoli;

disease caused by inhaling dust particles

accumulation of extravascular fluid in lung tissues and alveoli

blockage in an artery of the lungs caused by mass of undissolved matter

abnormal breath sound heard on auscultation

high-pitched, harsh, adventitious breath sound caused by a spasm or swelling in the larynx or an obstruction of the upper airway

completely unexpected and unexplained death of an apparently normal, healthy infant, usually less than 12 months of age

whistling or sighing sound heard on auscultation that results from narrowing of the lumen of the respiratory passageway

intradermal test to determine tuberculin sensitivity based on a positive reaction where the area around the test site becomes red and swollen

noninvasive method of monitoring the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen aka pulse ox

multiple tests used to evaluate the ability if the lungs to take in and expel air as well as perform gas exchange across the alveolocapillary membrane

measurement of venitlatory ability by assessing lung capacity and flow

test that measures partical pressure of oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and bicarbonate level of an arterial blood sample

excision of part of the pleura

excision of a lung

reconstructive surgery of the nose to correct deformities or for cosmetic purposes

surgical puncture and drainage of the pleural cavity

block histamines from binding with histamine receptor sites in tissues
ex)claritin

relieve or suppress coughing by blocking the cough reflex in the medulla of the brain
ex)vicks

stimulate bronchial muscles to relax, thereby expanding air passages, resulting in increased air flow
ex)ventolin

constrict blood vessels of nasal passages and limit blood flow, which causes swollen tissue to shrink so that air can pass more freely through the passages
(reduce congestion)
ex)sudafed

facilitate the removal of secretions
ex) robittusin
