Respiratory Pathology

4. collection of excessive fluid in the pleural cavity
7. lung condition characterized by an increase in the air spaces distal due to destruction of alveolar walls
8. lung cancer that arises from the epithelium of the bronchial treee
11. the presence of air or bass in the subcutaneous tissue of body
13. conditions that result in pulmonary obstruction

1. fibrosis congenital disorder affecting exocrine glands with excessive secretions and obstruction of bronchial system
2. the inability to move air into and out of the lungs, with consequent increased blood carbon dioxide content
3. affects infants born at less than 37 weeks due to lack of surfactant production
4. most frequent type of lung infection, resulting in an inflammation of the lung with compromised pulmonary function
5. inflammation of the pleura with exudation into the pleural cavity and on its surface
6. low oxygen levels within the arterial blood
9. occupational disease characterized by permanent deposits of particulate matter in the lungs & resultant pulmonary fibrosis
10. inability of the lungs to ventilate
12. chronic dilation of the bronchi, with inflammation and destruction of bronchial walls and cilia
