| diffuse | spreading out |
| septum | wall dividing 2 cavities (ex: the nasal septum separates the 2 nostrils) |
| serous membrane | thin layer of tissue that covers internal body cavities, the cells of which secrete a fluid that keeps membrane moist (AKA serosa) |
| olfacotry neurons | receptors for sense of smell |
| mediastinum | space between right and left lungs |
| pleura | a serous membrane,covers the lobes of the lungs and folds over to line the walls of the thoracic cavity |
| parietal pleura | membrane that lines the thoracic cavity |
| visceral pleura | membrane lying closest to the lungs |
| pleural cavity | space between parietal and visceral pleura |

| tuberculosis (TB) | communicable disease caused by a bacteria |
| pnemonia | any inflammatory disease of the lungs, may be casued by bacteria, virus, or fungi |
| consolidation | lung tissue loses it's spongy texture and becomes swollen and engorged |
| cystic fibrosis | hereditary disorder of endocrine glands casues body to secrete extremely thick (viscous) mucus |
| viscous | thick |
| normal flora | fungus that normally resides in people |
| acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) | a condition in which thelungs no longer work effectively, threatning the life of the patient |
| systemic infection | infection affecting the entire body |
| sepsis | blood infection |
| edema | when the alveoli fill with blood |
| bronchogenic carcinoma | (AKA primary pulmonary cancer) lung cancer usu asoc with smoking |

| crackle | abnormal respiratory sound |
| croup | common childhood condition involving inflammation of the larynx, trachea, bronchial passages and sometimes lungs |
| epistaxis | nosebleed, nasal hemorrhage |
| finger clubbing | enlargement of the terminal phalanges of fingers and toes, assoc with pulmonary disease |
| hyp/ox/emia | emia: blood conditionhyp: under, below, deficientox: oxygendeficiency of oxygen in the blood |
| hypoxia | deficiency of blood in the tissues |
