Introduction to Plate Tectonics: Earth's Structure and Foundations

Here’s the **complete list** of all the short, easy-to-remember definitions in one place: ### Disease & Disorder Terms 1. **ARDS** – Sudden life-threatening lung failure where fluid fills the air sacs 2. **Asphyxia** – Body tissues starved of oxygen 3. **Asthma** – Airways tighten and swell → reversible wheezing and shortness of breath 4. **COPD** – Progressive lung disease that makes breathing hard (chronic bronchitis + emphysema) 5. **Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever)** – Fungal lung infection from inhaling dust 6. **COVID-19** – Contagious coronavirus infection ranging from mild to severe pneumonia/ARDS 7. **Croup** – Kids’ barking cough + noisy breathing from upper airway swelling 8. **Cystic fibrosis (CF)** – Genetic disorder → thick sticky mucus clogs lungs and pancreas 9. **Deviated septum** – Crooked wall inside the nose → one nasal passage smaller 10. **Diphtheria** – Serious bacterial throat infection that forms a gray membrane 11. **Emphysema** – Alveoli lose elasticity and stay over-inflated (part of COPD) 12. **Epistaxis** – Nosebleed 13. **IPF** – Scar tissue slowly builds up in the lungs for unknown reasons 14. **Influenza (flu)** – Contagious viral infection with fever, body aches, and cough 15. **OSA** – Airway collapses during sleep → pauses in breathing 16. **Pertussis (whooping cough)** – Highly contagious bacterial infection with severe coughing fits that end in a “whoop” 17. **Pleural effusion** – Extra fluid collecting between the lung and chest wall 18. **Pulmonary edema** – Fluid builds up in the lungs (usually from heart failure) 19. **Pulmonary embolism (PE)** – Blood clot (or other matter) blocks a lung artery 20. **Tuberculosis (TB)** – Contagious bacterial lung infection 21. **Upper respiratory infection (URI)** – Common cold / infection of nose & throat ### Diagnostic Imaging 1. **Chest CT scan** – Detailed 3D X-ray slices of the chest 2. **Chest radiograph (CXR)** – Regular chest X-ray 3. **V/Q scan** – Nuclear test that checks air flow + blood flow in the lungs (used for PE) ### Laboratory 4. **AFB smear** – Sputum test looking for TB bacteria ### Pulmonary Function 5. **Arterial blood gas (ABG)** – Blood test that measures oxygen, CO₂, and pH 6. **Peak flow meter (PFM)** – Small device that measures how fast you can blow air out (asthma monitor) 7. **Pulmonary function tests (PFTs)** – Group of tests that measure how well the lungs work 8. **Pulse oximetry** – Finger clip that painlessly measures blood oxygen level ### Other Procedures / Tools 9. **Auscultation** – Listening to body sounds with a stethoscope 10. **Percussion** – Tapping the chest to hear what’s underneath 11. **PPD skin test** – Skin test that checks for TB exposure 12. **Stethoscope** – Instrument used to listen to heart/lungs ### Signs & Symptoms 1. **Crackles** – Crackling/popping lung sounds (usually fluid) 2. **Effusion** – Collection of fluid (e.g., in the pleural space) 3. **Hyperventilation** – Breathing too fast or too deep 4. **Hypoventilation** – Breathing too slow or too shallow 5. **Paroxysm** – Sudden attack or spasm 6. **Rhonchi** – Low-pitched continuous rattling sounds (secretions in airways) 7. **Stridor** – Harsh high-pitched sound from upper airway blockage 8. **Wheeze** – Whistling sound from narrowed airways ### Treatments 9. **Bronchoconstrictor** – Medicine that narrows the airways 10. **Bronchodilator** – Medicine that opens the airways 11. **Nebulizer** – Machine that turns liquid medicine into a breathing mist 12. **Ventilator** – Machine that breathes for the patient ### Descriptive Terms 13. **Mucopurulent** – Contains both mucus and pus 14. **Patent** – Open / not blocked 15. **Sputum** – Mucus coughed up from the lungs ### Other 16. **Airway** – The path air travels through (nose/mouth → lungs) 17. **Aspirate** – To suck something iyhn or withdraw fluid 18. **Nosocomial infection** – Infection you catch in the hospital --- You can copy this whole list and paste it straight into **Knowt**, **MintDeck**, or any free flashcard tool.
