Chapter 10 - Bell
Ch. 10: The Respiratory System—Pulmonology - Bell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adenoid/o | adenoid- lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx |
| tonsill/o | tonsil- lymphatic tissue in the oropharynx |
| nas/o | nose |
| rhin/o | nose |
| palat/o | palate |
| or/o | mouth |
| laryng/o | larynx- voice box |
| sept/o | septum |
| sin/o | sinus- hollow space |
| sinus/o | sinus- hollow space |
| pneum/o | lung or air (based on context) |
| pneumat/o | lung or air (based on context) |
| pneumon/o | lung or air (based on context) |
| pulmon/o | lungs |
| lob/o | lobe |
| bronch/o | bronchus |
| bronchi/o | bronchus |
| bronchiol/o | bronchiole- little bronchi |
| alveol/l | alveoli- air sac |
| stern/o | sternum |
| cost/o | ribs |
| thorac/o | chest |
| pector/o (pectus) | chest |
| steth/o | chest |
| pleur/o | pleura- membrane that surrounds the lung and chest wall |
| phren/o | diaphragm |
| inspiration | a process of respiration: the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, pressure in the chest decreases, air is “sucked” into the lungs |
| expiration | a process of respiration: passive, does not require muscle contraction |
| ox/o | oxygen |
| spir/o | breathing |
| -pnea | breathing |
| capn/o | carbon dioxide |
| carb/o | carbon dioxide |
| ABG | arterial blood gas |
| Bx | biopsy |
| CPAP | continuous positive airway pressure |
| CPR | cardiopulmonary resuscitation |
| URI | upper respiratory tract infection |
| COPD | chronic obstructive pulmonary disease |
| IRDS | infant respiratory distress syndrome |
| LTB | laryngotracheobronchitis |
| OSA | obstructive sleep apnea |
| PE | pulmonary embolism |
| TB | tuberculosis |
| CTA | clear to auscultation |
| SOB | shortness of breath |
| ET | endotracheal tube |
| PFT | pulmonary function test |
| PSG | polysomnography |
| T&A | tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy |
| nares | two of them, right and left; the entry way into the nose |
| septum | cartilage and bone that separates the nose into right and left sides |
| turbinates | cartilages that swirl the air; done so it will increase contact with the inside of the nose to heat, humidify, and filter it |
| vascular | large amount of blood vessels so that it will heat the incoming airs |
| mucus | helps to humidify and trap dirt, debris, and pathogens from the air |
| trachea | beginning of the lower respiratory tract; divides into right and left bronchi |
| bronchi | air sacs that come from the trachea and enter the right and left lungs |
| lobar bronchi | five bronchi, three on the right and two on the left; define the five lobes of the lung |
| segmental bronchi | smaller segments of the lobar bronchi |
| bronchioles | smaller airways of the segmental bronchi |
| alveoli | at the end of bronchioles; tiny balloon-like structures surrounded by small blood vessels; helps oxygen pass into the blood |
