Across
  1. 3. - windpipe. This is held open by rings of cartilage so that it doesn’t collapse shut when you inhale. The trachea splits into two structures at the end to from the Bronchi
  2. 4. - “itis” means “inflammation or infection of…” So, this is some sort of irritation of your bronchial passages often resulting in coughing
  3. 6. - The freeing of energy. that involves reacting glucose with oxygen to free up energy.
  4. 8. - nosebleed caused by an injury, excessive use of blood thinners or bleeding disorders.
  5. 9. - vocal cords: vibrate to make noise as you exhale. In combination with the different shapes your tongue, lips.
  6. 10. - expands the opening of the passages into the lungs.
  7. 15. - cough medicine, prevents or relieves coughing.
  8. 16. - paralysis of the larynx
  9. 17. - chronic allergic disorder, causing breathing trouble, coughing and wheezing. there are lots of causes of asthma
  10. 18. - make air warm, moist, and clean (hairs/mucus). Sinuses affect your voice.
  11. 20. - throat…where air passes. Epiglottis keeps you from choking on food/drinks.
  12. 21. - accumulation of fluid in lung tissues.
Down
  1. 1. - whooping cough, contagious bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract that has recurrent bouts of paroxysmal cough, followed by breathlessness, and noisy inspiration.
  2. 2. - serious infection or inflammation of the lungs which the smallest bronchioles and alveoli fill with pus and other liquid.
  3. 5. - largely prevented through vaccines, acute bacterial infection of the throat and upper respiratory tract, this bacteria produces toxins that can damage the heart muscle and peripheral nerves.
  4. 7. - spongy organs filled with alveoli
  5. 9. - visual exam of the larynx using a laryngoscope down through the mouth and placed into the pharynx to examine the larynx.
  6. 11. - emergency procedure in which an incision is made into the trachea to gain access to the airway below a blockage.
  7. 12. - pumps O2 through liquid medicine to turn into a vapor
  8. 13. - collection of blood in the pleural cavity.
  9. 14. - smaller passages that split heading into the lungs.
  10. 19. - accumulation of air in the pleural space causing a pressure imbalance that prevents the lung from fully expanding or can cause it to collapse
  11. 22. - is the progressive loss of function that is characterized by decreased # of alveoli, enlargement of remaining alveoli, progressive destruction of the walls of the remaining alveoli
