Across
- 3. airways inflamed and narrowed because of extra mucus production making it difficult to breath - could be caused by a combination of environmental and inherited factors - inhalers (breath in medicine)
- 7. branched from bronchi
- 9. slow reproducing bacteria - spread through air with coughing/sneezing - medication (antibiotics)
- 10. directs air to respiratory tract
- 12. site of gas exchange
- 13. filters and moistens air
- 15. alveoli are damaged by smoking or other environmental factors - shortness of breath - medications (antibiotics, inhaled steroids) or lung transplant or Lung Volume reduction surgery
- 17. contains vocal cords
Down
- 1. a recessive autosomal genetic disorder - buildup of thick mucus in the lungs - mutation in CFTR gene - CFTR modulator, using GE stem cells
- 2. covers larynx when swallowing, made of elastic cartilage, allows air to enter lungs and prevents food/liquid from entering lungs when eating
- 4. inflamed alveoli filled with fluid - caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi - chest pain when breathing or coughing, fatigue, fever, sweating - medications (antibiotics, fever reducer) or hospitalization
- 5. last cartilage ring is ________
- 6. inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes - most cases get better without treatment - cough up thickened mucus
- 8. cleans, warms and moistens incoming air, made of stiff cartilage rings that keep it open
- 11. triggered when anything but air enters trachea
- 14. the major muscle of respiration located under the lungs
- 16. the two branches that connect trachea with the lungs
