| this diagnostic term refers to a fine crackling sound heard during inspiration (inhalation) | rale (crackle) |
| This diagnostic term refers to a strained, high-pitched, relatively loud sound made on inspiration | stridor |
| The process of gas exchange where oxygen is added to the blood and carbon dioxide is removed. The process of moving air into and out of the lungs; breathing | respiration |
| This diagnostic term refers to a loud, rumbling sound. | ronchi |
| This diagnostic term refers to listening to sounds within the body | auscultation |
| _______are the hair-like projections in the nose | cilia |
| _______are the air-filled cavities that connect with the nasal cavity via small passageways | sinuses |
| The _________also known as the throat is a hollow muscular structure lined with epithelial tissue | pharynx |
| The ______________also known as the voice box is a semi-rigid structure composed of cartilage that is connected by muscles and ligaments | larynx |
| The medical term for a nosebleed | epistaxis |
| The ___________also known as the windpipe | trachea |
| _________is a chronic inflammatory disorder with airway obstruction | asthma |
| _________is the persistent inflammation of the bronchi over a long period of time | chronic bronchitis |
| The incomplete expansion of the alveoli, causing a collapsed, functionless, airless lung is called | atelectasis |
| A pulmonary _______________ is a large collection of pus in the lungs | abscess |
| Formation of scar tissue in the connective tissue of the lungs is called | pulmonary fibrosis |
| This chronic inflammatory disease of unknown cause presents iwth small nodules or tubercles in the lungs, lymph nodes and other organs | sarcoidosis |
| The general term used to describe a lung disease in which the airways become obstructed | COPD |
| _________is the collection of air in the pleural space | pneumothorax |
| An accumulation of fluid in the pleural space is called | pleural effusion |
| A machine used to induce the alternating inflation and deflation of the lungs is called | mechanical ventilation machine |
| A fiberoptic or rigid endoscope that is inserted intot he bronchial tubes for diagnosis, biopsy or the collection of specimens is called | bronchoscopy |
| The surgical puncture to remove fluid from the pleural space is called a | thoracentesis |
| The procedure whereby an opening is created in the trachea is called | tracheostomy |
| A removal of the entire lobe of the lung is called a | lobectomy |
| A___________is performed by entering a chest tube th rough an opening in the skin of the chest to continuously drain pleural effusion | tube thoracostomy |
| A condtion whereby fluid accumulates int he lungs is called | pulmonary edema |
| A blood clot in the lung is known as a | pulmonary embolism (PE) |
| ________is defined as the lung receiving adequate air flow | ventilation |
| ________is defined as the lung receiving adequate blood flow | perfusion |
| The placement of a tube thorugh the mouth into the pharynx, larynx, and trachea to establish an airway is called a | endotracheal intubation |
| This disease is characterized by the hyperinflation of the air sacs with sbusequent destruction of the alveolar walls | emphysema |
| An inflammation of the lungs and bronchial tubes that is due to foreign material getting into the lung is called | aspiration pneumonia |
| A mjor surgical incision into the chest is called a | thoracotomy |
| This is a highly contagious disease that is caused by a rod-shaped bacilli (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) | tuberculosis (TB) |
| The test for tuberculosis is called | PPD skin test (purified protein derivative) |
| In order to create a tracheostomy the physician needs to perform an incision into the trachea called | tracheotomy |
