Anatomy of COPD
Across
- 3. the lung's onesie (6)
- 5. an umbrella term for chronic + progressive lung disorders characterised by airway obstruction (4)
- 6. overproduction of this in chronic bronchitis can exacerbate COPD (5)
- 8. one second sprint test for the lungs(4)
- 11. on a chest XR of a COPD patient, the diaphragm looks _____ (9)
- 14. collapse of the breathing space (12)
- 15. when the lung's air sacs lose their bounce, leaving you breathless (9)
- 16. shorter and steeper, more visitors (5, 8)
- 18. referring to not just one, but multiple little air sacs (7)
- 19. the slippery soap of your lungs, secreted by type II alveolar cells (10)
- 20. twin tubes (7)
- 24. type of muscle bronchioles are composed of (6)
- 25. grape-like cluster, mini air exchange market (8, 3)
Down
- 1. sensitive ridge at T4 (6)
- 2. most distal of the bronchioles (11)
- 4. tiny cupholders, always ready to spill (6, 4)
- 7. the bronchial tubes are lined with this type of epithelium (8)
- 9. one little air sac, like a single bean in a pod (9)
- 10. once known as Clara, these lung protectors changed names but still serve detox drinks (4, 4)
- 12. a flexible, muscular gatekeeper (10)
- 13. the signal-sender that tells the breath driving diaphragm when to move (7, 5)
- 17. lots of air spaces in the lungs on a CXR (5)
- 21. from Latin 'eyelid', nature's little brooms (5)
- 22. most proximal of the bronchioles (10)
- 23. the respiratory highway, lined with C shaped rings (7)
