| maximum volume of air that can be forcefully expelled after a maximum inspiration | vital capacity |
| atelectasis is usually immediately treatable through removal of | obstruction or compressing material |
| coughing, elevated white blood cell count, fever, & chest pain are all | manifestation of pneumonia |
| Pneumocystis Pneumonia primarily affects | immunocomprimised persons |
| pneumothorax & necrosis are | characteristics of Tuberculosis |
| tuberculosis skin test identifies | T cells |
| only effective treatment of bronchiectasis involves | surgery |
| can impair both the efficiency of gas exchange and the ventilation of the lungs | chronic obstructive lung disease |
| Bronchial asthma results from the _____ of the bronchial muscle | spasm |
| lung trauma, gastric aspiration, toxic gas, & shock are all causes of | adult respiratory distress syndrome |
| pulmonary fibrosis most commonly results from lifelong exposure to | silica dust & asbestos |
| has a poorer diagnosis than most types of cancer | lung carcinoma |
| one of the terminal air sacs of the lung | alveolus |

| collapse of the lung | atelectasis |
| collapse of the lung,caused by bronchial obstruction | obstructive atelectasis |
| collapse of the lung, caused by external compression | compression atelectasis |
| dilatation of bronchi caused by weakening of their walls as a result of infection | bronchiectasis |

| inflammation of the lung | pneumonia |
| accumulation of air in the pleural cavity | pneumothorax |
| functional unit of the lung consisting of a cluster of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli derived from a single terminal bronchiole. | respiratory unit |
| respiratory unit is another term for | acinus |
| type of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of rock dust | silicosis |
| lipid material secreted by alveolar lining cells that facilitates respiration by decreasing the surface tension of the fluid lining the pulmonary alveoli | surfactant |
