Across
- 3. pneumothorax-Presence of air within the pleural space.
- 5. deoxyhemoglobin-Blood carrying carbon dioxide without oxygen.
- 7. pneumonia-Inflammation of the airsacs.
- 8. tuberculosis-Respiratory infection commonly caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- 9. pohsdisease-Occurs when TB travelled into the spine.
- 11. empyema-Accumulation of pus within the pleural space as complication of respiratory problems
- 12. Expectoration of blood or bloody sputum.
- 16. thoracentesis- Procedure to remove air and fluid from the pleural space.
- 17. acidosis-Signifies the decrease of pH from its normal level
- 19. lobectomy-The removal of lobe of a lung.
- 24. antiinflammatory-The most desired effect of corticosteriod in asthma treatment.
Down
- 1. atelectasis-Happends with the presence of alveolar fluid occupying casuing the collapse of the lung.
- 2. hpoxemia-Lack of oxygen in the blood.
- 3. pulmonaryembolism-Obstruction of blood flow to the lungs due to fat, air, that occludes the blood vessel.
- 4. Median portion of the thoracic cavity which contains the heart and great vessels.
- 6. Type of pneumothorax where air cannot exit and leads to lung collapse.
- 10. epistaxis-Can be anterior or posterior bleeding of the nose
- 13. Done to inspect airways and check for abnormalities.
- 14. alveoli-A grape like structure where primary gas exchange occurs
- 15. cilia -Small stick like structure that moves sputum out from the lungs.
- 18. conductingzone-Parts of respiratory system where filtration, warming, and moistening of air happens and leads it to the lungs.
- 20. Inflammation of the pleaurae leading to reduced pleaural space.
- 21. hypoxia-Lack of oxygen in the tissue.
- 22. surfactant-Lipoprotein that decreases the surfcae tension in alveoli to prevent lung collapse.
- 23. Presence of blood within the pleural space.
