Module 2: Respiratory System
Across
- 2. The gas exchange between the lungs and the circulatory system
- 3. inserted under the skin, below the right clavicle, with the electrodes placed into the right ventricle
- 5. A systemic, fungal infection of the lungs particularly endemic to semi-arid climates
- 8. A fungal infection caused by a dimorphic fungus, which thrives in the soil, especially soil that is fueled by bird or bat excrement
- 11. Results from inhalation of foreign inorganic dust, most commonly from a particular work environment
- 12. Cavities lined with respiratory epithelium and communicate with the nasal cavities
- 13. Captures information regarding metabolic activity within the chest, making it useful in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions
- 14. Low oxygen levels within the arterial blood and resulting from a failure of the gas exchange function
- 15. an autosomal recessive gene that affects the function of exocrine glands
- 16. Trachea, bronchi, alveoli, and lungs
Down
- 1. Distal end of the catheter allows for inflation and deflation by a pump that is synchronized to the patient’s cardiac cycle to provide mechanical support of the left ventricle
- 4. Contains primarily lymphatic tissue, heart, great vessels, esophagus, and trachea
- 6. A localized area of dead (necrotic) lung tissue surrounded by inflammatory debris
- 7. Effusion caused from inflammation, as in pleurisy, a pulmonary embolism, or a neoplasm
- 9. A lack of respiratory function or a lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange
- 10. Lack of respiratory function or lack of proper oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange
