Respiratory System

1. Swelling of the Bronchi that causes coughing, fever, and tightness in the chest
5. Disease in which the tissue of the lungs is destroyed by the growth of a tumor. Mostly caused by smoking/second hand smoke.
6. Microscopic air chambers where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged into the blood stream
11. Inflammatory disease that causes the bronchi to become blocked or narrowed. (Often requires an inhaler for treatment)
12. Bacterial lung infection that can cause coughing up blood.
15. Two branches of the trachea that bring air into each lung
16. An abnormal immune response to an ordinarily harmless substance.
17. Flap of tissue that prevents food from entering trachea
19. Brings air to and from the Bronchi (Windpipe)
20. Structures that allow exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between atmosphere and blood

2. The gas that is exhaled and removed from the human body
3. Caused by a virus. Can result in symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, coughing and possibly aches and fever
4. Filters, warms, and moistens air
7. Dome shaped muscle below lungs, helps with breathing
8. Narrow tubes that bring air from the brochi to the alveoli
9. Lung infection caused by a virus or bacteria that causes breathing difficulties. Causes a build up of fluid in the lungs. Can be deadly if not treated.
10. Disease in which the Alveoli are damaged or destroyed. Strongly linked to smoking.
13. The gas that is inhaled and needed by the human body
14. Passage for air and food (Back of the throat)
