68C - Intro to Respiratory
Across
- 1. shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing; may be caused by disturbances in the lungs, certain heart conditions, and hemoglobin deficiency.
- 3. greater than normal amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood.
- 4. collection of air or gas in the pleural cavity which causes the lung to collapse.
- 5. power of microorganism to produce disease.
- 6. musical, high-pitched, squeaking or whistle-like sound caused by rapid movement of air through narrowed bronchioles.
- 9. slightly bluish, gray, or dark purple discoloration of the skin, resulting from the presence of abnormally reduced amounts of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood.
- 11. low-pitched, grating or creaking lung sounds that occur when inflamed pleural surfaces rub together during respiration.
- 15. short, discrete, interrupted crackling or bubbling sounds; most commonly heard upon inspiration.
- 17. pertaining to respiratory effort that is strenuous and struggling, this creates a snoring sound.
- 19. abnormal sounds superimposed on breath sounds.
- 22. accumulation of pus in a body cavity, especially the pleural space, as a result of an infection.
- 23. an inadequate, reduced tension of cellular oxygen.
- 24. acute inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose and accessory sinuses, usually accompanied by edema of the mucous membranes and nasal discharge.
Down
- 2. caused by external factors.
- 3. an abnormal condition of the respiratory system that occurs when the volume of air inhaled is not adequate for the metabolic needs of the body.
- 7. an increase in the severity of a disease or disorder, marked by an increase in signs and symptoms.
- 8. surgical perforation of the chest wall and pleural space with a needle for the aspiration of fluid for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
- 10. low-pitched, loud, coarse, snoring sound.
- 12. obstruction of blood vessel by a foreign substance; blood clot, fat, or air.
- 13. collapse of alveoli, preventing the respiratory exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
- 14. visual examination of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, using a standard rigid, tubular flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.
- 16. an abnormal condition in which a person must sit or stand in order to breathe comfortably or deeply (often measured by how many pillows a patient needs to sleep at night).
- 18. an abnormal rapid rate of breathing.
- 20. hemorrhage of the nose; nosebleed.
