Respiratory System
Across
- 3. the whole process of gas exchange between the atmospheric air and the blood, and between the blood and cells of the body
- 4. Include emphysema and chronic bronchitis
- 6. presence of air within the pleural cavity occurs spontaneously or as a result of trauma
- 7. Amount of air that can be inspired or expired after a normal respiratory cycle
- 9. serves as the passageway for air to pass to and from the lungs
- 13. collapse alveoli in part or all of the lung
- 14. Inflammatory, communicable disease that commonly attacks the lungs, although may occur in other body parts
- 15. Median portion which contains the heart and the great vessels
- 16. heart and the lungs
- 19. movement of air in and out of the lungs
- 22. Derived from the summation of different lung volumes
- 24. Needle puncture through the chest wall, used to remove fluid and occasionally air from the pleural space
- 25. Primary cause of COPD
Down
- 1. Noncardiogenic pulmonary infiltrations resulting in stiff, wet lungs, and refractory hypoxemia
- 2. Usually occurs in the spring and fall and is caused by allergy to pollens from trees, flowers, or grasses;
- 5. Circulation of the blood that only occurs
- 8. Measured to give an indication of adequacy of ventilation
- 10. Characterized by increased airway resistance and decreasing diffusing capacity
- 11. lipoproteins that lowers surface tension in the alveoli
- 12. Refers to the inflammation of both layers of pleurae
- 13. small sacs; primary site of gas exchange
- 17. Also known as nosebleed
- 18. Also known as windpipe
- 20. covers opening to the larynx during swallowing
- 21. tube-like structure which connects nasal and oral cavities to the larynx
- 23. Characterized by airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness to a variety of stimuli
