- 12. type of pleura that lines the inner aspect of the chest wall, diaphragm and sides of pericardium and mediastinum.
- 13. Point where trachea bifurcates.
- 17. Involves substances moving across concentration gradients, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
- 20. Position that promote and facilitate airway respiration.
- 21. This can be thought of as the body’s attempt at correcting an imbalance.
- 22. Serves as a passageway for air to pass to and from the lungs.
- 23. An artery used to locate blood sample of ABGs.
- 24. Presence of air within the pleural cavity occurs spontaneously or as a result of trauma.
- 27. A term referred to as the removal of a lobe of a lung.
- 29. Part of the body's immune system where it indicates an increase in number when infection is detected.
- 30. A complex inflammatory process that causes increase airway resistance and, overtime, airway tissue damage.
- 31. This phase in ARDS occur when alveoli has reached the stiffening stage.
- 32. A type of pneumothorax where the communication between the atmosphere and pleural space due to opening in chest wall.
- 33. Passageway for the respiratory and digestive tracts.
- 35. A test used to determine the presence of TB to a certain patient.
- 37. signal systemic immune system to release pro inflammatory substances.
- 39. This condition happens when the muscles that line your bronchi (airways in your lungs) tighten.
- 40. Central compartment of the thoracic cavity
- 42. Refers to a a blocked artery caused by a foreign body, such as a blood clot or an air bubble.
- 44. This test measures the amount of air the lungs can hold.
- 45. Protects lower airway from foreign substances and facilitates coughing.
- 47. Accumulation of thick, purulent, fluid within the pleural space.
- 48. A protein that helps protect your lungs from damage and diseases, such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- 50. This is the removal or stripping of thick, fibrous, membrane from visceral pleura.
- 51. Collapse alveoli in part or all of the lung.
- 52. A pneumonia that occurs abruptly when an acute bacterial infection affects a large portion of lobe.
Down
- 2. Attack history related to asthma where contact with allergen to which person is sensitive seen most often in children and young adults.
- 3. A term referred to a swelling (inflammation) of a vein.
- 5. A pneumonia that is caused by virus; diffuse bilateral infection without patchy infiltrates.
- 10. It refers to an asthma attack that doesn't improve with traditional treatments, such as inhaled bronchodilators.
- 11. Primary site of gas exchange.
- 12. Acute inflammation of lungs with exudate accumulation in alveoli and other respiratory passages that interferes with ventilation process.
- 14. It is also called as hospital-acquired pneumonia.
- 15. A resection that removes small, localized lesion that occupies only part of a segment.
- 16. Refers to coughing up blood from some part of the lungs.
- 18. Law that states the volume of gas is inversely proportional to pressure.
- 19. The whole process of gas exchange between the atmospheric air and the blood, and between the blood and cells of the body.
- 25. Other than helium, this gas component is used in measurement by breathing through a tube for a certain amount of time.
- 26. Needle puncture through the chest wall, used to remove fluid and occasionally air from the pleural space.
- 28. A measure of the elasticity, expandability and distensibility of the lungs and thoracic structures.
- 34. This artery is a substitute to the absence of radial pulse during ABG monitoring.
- 36. This is measured to give an indication of adequacy of ventilation and sufficiency of oxygen.
- 38. Chronic disease with excessive inflation of the air spaces.
- 41. involves controlled exposure to small amounts of the known allergen through frequent (at least weekly) injections with the goal of decreasing sensitivity.
- 43. Term referred to as the removal of entire lung.
- 46. is a short-term breathing treatment where increased breathing pressures are delivered via ventilator to help treat atelectasis.
- 49. this can be performed to help break up thick fluids in the lungs.
