adenoids

the pharyngeal tonsils are also called

epiglottis

cartilage that covers the trachea during swallowing

bronchi

the trachea divides into two

alveoli

tiny air sacs in the lungs that allow for gas exchange

ventilation

the technical term for breathing

compliance

surfactant in the lungs helps increase

inhalation

interpleural

term that means between the pleural membranes

phrenodynia

pain in the diaphragm

breathing

the root in the word inspiration means

spirogram

record of breathing measurements

hemoptysis

spitting up blood

tidal volume

amount of air moved into or out of lungs in quiet respiration

residual volume

amount of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation

pneumoconiosis

irritation of the lungs from inhalation of dust

atelectasis

collapse of the lung

acidosis

abnormally high levels of carbon dioxide in the body causes

aspiration

inhalation of food into the lungs

Cheyne-stokes respiration

a condition of irregular breathing seen in terminally ill patients

cor pulmonale

enlargement of the right ventricle in the heart

coryza

acute inflammation of the nose with profuse nasal discharge

nosebleed

epistaxis is

prevent coughing

an antitussive drug acts to

tuberculosis

the Mantoux test is for

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

asthma, emphysema and bronchitis are forms of

lobes of the lung

RLL, RUL, LLL and LUL are abbreviation for

turbinate bones

receptors for the sense of smell are located within the

adenoids

the pharyngeal tonsils are also called the

larynx

the vocal folds are located in the

mainstem bronchi

the tubes that enter the lungs are

bronchioles

small subdivisions of the bronchi

diaphragm

the phrenic nerve stimulates the

not breathing

an apneic person is

phrenicectomy

excision of the phrenic nerve

spirometry

measurement of breathing volumes

inhaled into the lungs

when food is aspirated it is

pulse oximetry

measurement of oxygen saturation of the blood

asphyxia

term that means suffocation

blood and tissues

internal gas exchange occurs between the

oxygen

the gas that is supplied to the tissues by the respiratory system

paranasal sinuses

sinuses that are near the nose

mediastinum

the space that contains the heart, esophagus and the trachea

visceral pleura

the lungs are directly covered by the

brainstem

breathing is regulated by the

alkalinity

decreased carbon dioxide in the blood causes

epiglottis

prevents food from entering the trachea during swallowing

dyspnea

difficulty breathing
