- 3. Plural of bronchus
- 6. A specific disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the tubercle bacillus, which can affect almost any tissue or organ of the body, the most common site of the disease being the lungs
- 7. An inflammatory disease of the lungs characterized by (in most cases) reversible airway obstruction. Originally, a term used to mean “difficult breathing”; now used to denote bronchial asthma
- 8. Excision of the larynx
- 10. Radiographic examination of the tracheobronchial tree following introduction of a radiopaque material, usually an iodinated compound in a viscous suspension; rarely performed today, having been superseded by high resolution computed tomography.
- 13. Inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane
- 14. Inflammation of the lung parenchyma characterized by consolidation of the affected part, the alveolar air spaces being filled with exudate, inflammatory cells, and fibrin. Most cases are due to infection by bacteria or viruses, a few to inhalation of chemicals or trauma to the chest wall, and a few to rickettsiae, fungi, and yeasts. Distribution may be lobar, segmental, or lobular; when lobular and associated with bronchitis, it is termed bronchopneumonia.
- 15. A systemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause, especially involving the lungs with resulting interstitial fibrosis, but also involving lymph nodes, skin, liver, spleen, eyes, phalangeal bones, and parotid glands; granulomas are composed of epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells with little or no necrosis.
- 17. Excision of a lobe of any organ or gland
- 18. Rarely used term for diaphragmatic hernia.
- 21. Empyema in a pleural cavity
- 22. Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchi.
- 23. An operation to make an opening into the trachea
Down
- 1. Reconstructive or cosmetic surgery of the nose to correct form or function
- 2. Edema edema of lungs usually resulting from mitral stenosis or left ventricular failure
- 4. Inspection of the interior of the tracheobronchial tree through a bronchoscope.
- 5. Fibrosis a congenital metabolic disorder in which secretions of exocrine glands are abnormal; excessively viscid mucus causes obstruction of passageways (including pancreatic and bile ducts, intestines, and bronchi), and the sodium and chloride content of sweat is increased throughout the patient's life; symptoms usually appear in childhood and include meconium ileus, poor growth despite good appetite, malabsorption and foul bulky stools, chronic bronchitis with cough, recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis, emphysema, clubbing of the fingers, and salt depletion in hot weather.
- 8. Inflammation of the larynx and trachea.
- 9. A condition of the lung characterized by increase beyond the normal in the size of air spaces distal to the terminal bronchiole (those parts containing alveoli), with destructive changes in their walls and reduction in their number.
- 11. Inflammation of adenoid tissue caused by viral and bacterial infection and allergy.
- 12. Plastic surgery of the trachea
- 16. Decrease or loss of air in all or part of the lung, with resulting loss of lung volume itself.
- 19. The presence of free air or gas in the pleural cavity
- 20. An operation for the removal of adenoid tissue from the nasopharyn
- 24. An instrument for measuring chronaxie
