16
Q

Empyema

A

Collection of pus between the lung and the lining of the lung (pleural space).

17
Q

En bloc

A

In total or in full; as a single piece.

18
Q

Epiglottis

A

A lid or flap that covers the larynx to protect the trachea from inhaled food or liquid.

19
Q

Glottis

A

Vocal cords separated by a triangular opening, through which air flows. The glottis narrows, controlling the flow of air, which causes the vocal cords to vibrate and create sound.

20
Q

Hemic

A

Pertaining to blood. SYN - hematic.

21
Q

Hyoid Bone

A

A horseshoe-shaped bone in the anterior midline of the neck. It is not part of the trachea and does not articulate with any other bone. It provides attachment to the muscles of the floor of the mouth and the tongue above, the larynx below, and the epiglottis and pharynx behind.

22
Q

Indirect Endoscopy

A

Use of mirrors with a rigid laryngoscope to view the larynx.

23
Q

Instill

A

To introduce gradually

24
Q

Larynx (Voice Box)

A

Connects the nasopharynx to the trachea, covered by the epiglottis during swallowing to prevent aspiration.

25
Q

Lungs

A

The right lung has three lobes and the left lung has two lobes.

26
Q

Mediastinum

A

The portion of the thoracic cavity between the lungs containing the heart, aorta, esophagus, trachea, and thymus gland, as well as blood vessels and nerves.

27
Q

Pleura

A

A serous membrane that folds back onto itself to form a two-layered structure.

28
Q

Pleural Cavity

A

The space between the two pleural layers.

29
Q

Pneumonectomy

A

Removal of a lung.

30
Q

Pneumonolysis

A

A procedure that separates the chest wall from the lungs to prevent collapse.

31
Q

Pneumothorax

A

Collapse of the lung.

32
Q

Pulmonary Function Tests

A

Tests to diagnose breathing problems.

33
Q

Trachea (Windpipe)

A

Cartilaginous structure that carries air from the nasopharynx to the lungs via the bronchi.

34
Q

Turbinates

A

Superior, middle, and inferior bony structures found in each right and left nasal cavity to assist with air movement.

35
Q

Septum

A

Bony structure that separates the left nasal cavity from the right nasal cavity.

36
Q

Splenoportography

A

A method of using X-ray imaging to view the portal system via the spleen.

37
Q

Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)

A

Use of endoscope and the video to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the thoracic cavity.

38
Q

Vital Capacity (VC)

A

The maximum volume of air a person can exhale after maximum inhalation. The measure is used in diagnostic pulmonary testing.
