  2. 3. greater than normal amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood.
  3. 4. collection of air or gas in the pleural cavity which causes the lung to collapse.
  4. 5. power of microorganism to produce disease.
  5. 6. musical, high-pitched, squeaking or whistle-like sound caused by rapid movement of air through narrowed bronchioles.
  6. 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.
  7. 11. low-pitched, grating or creaking lung sounds that occur when inflamed pleural surfaces rub together during respiration.
  8. 15. short, discrete, interrupted crackling or bubbling sounds; most commonly heard upon inspiration.

  7. 13. collapse of alveoli, preventing the respiratory exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
  8. 14. visual examination of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, using a standard rigid, tubular flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.
  9. 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).
