Respiratory Terminology
Across
- 1. iny blood vessel that connects an arteriole (the smallest division of an artery) with a venule (the smallest division of a vein).
- 2. lung capacity: volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath-500mL
- 5. air enters it from the nose, and it is divided into three sections
- 6. inflammation of the larynx.
- 11. tree: multiple-branched bronchi.
- 14. visual examination of interior structures of the body with an endoscope
- 15. an image or record produced on exposed or processed film by radiography.
- 17. membranes: membrane covered with epithelium that lines the tubular organs of the body.
- 18. Inflammatin of the sinuses.
- 22. smallest branches of the bronchi
- 24. process of oxygen and CO2 exchange through the alveolar capillary membrane
- 27. lung capacity: the volume remaining in the lungs after a normal, passive exhalation. I
- 28. respiration: occurs when the cells use 02 and nutrients to produce energy, water, and C02
- 31. lung capacity: max volume of air exhaled from point of max inspiration- 4600 MI- TV+IRV+ERV
- 35. cavities on the skull that surround the nasal area
- 37. listening to the sounds of the body during a physical examination
- 42. capable of being transmitted from one individual to another.
- 44. tiny hair like structures that move mucous and dirt toward the esophagus
- 45. cells: Cells that form a thin surface coating on the outside of a body structure.
- 46. tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of 02 and C02 occurs b/w the lungs and bloodstream
- 47. cavity: the portion of the ventral body cavity situated between the neck and the diaphragm; it contains the pleural cavity.
- 48. rate: an expression of the amount of oxygen consumed by the body cells.
- 49. Pneumonia is an infection of the lung
- 51. a colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air.
Down
- 1. health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time
- 2. inflammation of the trachea.
- 3. Difficult or labored breathing.
- 4. inflammation of the bronchi
- 7. Abnormal increase in the depth and rate of the respiratory movements.
- 8. (singular bronchus): tube that divides after it leaves the trachea and becomes the right and left bronchus
- 9. located b/w the pharynx and trachea, has nine layers of cartilage and contains vocal cords
- 10. air rushes in through the airways to the alveoli, where the exchange of 02, a gas needed by the body cells is taken in, and the removing of C02, a gas that is a metabolic waste product
- 12. Absence of spontaneous respiration.
- 13. the diffusion of pure solvent across a membrane in response to a concentration gradient, usually from a solution of lesser to one of greater solute concentration.
- 16. substance derived or produced from a microorganism that inhibits or kills other microorganisms
- 19. The condition of having below normal oxygen levels in the body tissues and cells.
- 20. gradient: The difference in the amounts of a substance on either side of a membrane or in two areas of a biological system. Substances diffuse down a concentration gradient, from the area of higher concentration to lower concentration.
- 21. filament: red, fleshy part of the gills; they take oxygen into the blood.
- 23. Natural & synthetic compounds that either inhibit or kill microorganisms; among the most widely used therapeutic agents in the world
- 25. arch: the cartilagenous skeleton supporting a GILL.
- 26. muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity
- 29. lung capacity: volume of air in the lungs after a max inspiration-5800 MI-TV+IRV+ERV+RV
- 30. degree of pathogenicity of a microorganism as indicated by case fatality rates and/or its ability to invade the tissues of the host
- 32. leaf like structure, made of cartilage, that covers the larynx during swallowing
- 33. White blood cells whose job is to destroy invading microorganisms. Listeria monocytogenes avoids being killed and can multiply within the macrophage.
- 34. the engulfing of microorganisms or other cells and foreign particles by phagocytes.
- 36. capacity: volume of air in the lungs
- 38. tube extending from larynx to the center of the chest
- 39. Replete with fluids.
- 40. epithelium-lined body cavity of metazoans above the lower worms that forms a large space when well developed between the digestive tract and the body wall.
- 41. inflammation of the mucus membrane lining the nasal cavity; akso referred to as coryza or the common cold.
- 43. edema: condition in which fluid accumulates in the lungs, usually because the heart's left ventricle does not pump adequately.
- 44. dioxide: A gas which is the byproduct of cellular metabolism and which collects in the tissues, is cleared from the tissues by the blood within the veins, is carried by the hemoglobin in the red blood cells, and removed from the body via the lungs in the exhaled air.
- 50. muscles: muscles located between the ribs
