Larynx
A
voice box; passageway for air moving from the pharynx to the trachea; contains the vocal cords
23
Q
nasopharynx
A
part of the pharynx directly behind the nasal passages
24
Q
oropharynx
A
central portion of the pharynx between the roof of the mouth and the upper edge of the epiglottis
25
laryngopharynx
lower part of the pharynx, just below the oropharyngeal opening into the larynx and esophagus
26
diaphragm
muscular partition that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and that moves upward and downward to aid in respiration
27
mediastinum
partition that separates the thorax into two compartments (containing the right and left lungs) and that encloses the heart, esophagus, trachea, and thymus gland
28
parenchyma
functional tissues of any organ, such as the tissues of the bronchioles, alveoli, ducts, and sacs, that perform respiration
29
Eupnea
normal breathing
30
bradypnea
slow breathing
31
Tachypnea
fast breathing
32
dyspnea
difficulty breathing
33
apnea
inability to breathe
34
orthopnea
ability to breathe only in an upright position
35
dysphonia
hoarseness ( phon/o voice or sound)
36
hemoptysis
coughing up and spitting out blood that originates in the lungs ( ptysis to spit)
37
hypercapnia
excessive level of carbon dioxide in the blood (capno smoke; carbo coal)
38
hypoxemia
deficient amount of oxygen in the blood
39
hypoxia
deficient amount of oxygen in tissue cells
40
obstructive lung disorder
condition blocking the flow of air moving out of the lungs
41
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
permanent, destructive pulmonary disorder that is a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema
42
atelectasis
collapse of lung tissue (alveoli) (atele imperfect; -ectasis expansion or dilation)
43
bronchitis
inflammation of the bronchi
44
pharyngitis
inflammation of the pharynx
45
pleural effusion
accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity
46
pneumothorax
air in the pleural cavity caused by a puncture of the lung or chest wall
47
hemothorax
blood in the pleural cavity
48
Pneumonia
inflammation in the lung resulting from infection by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites or from aspiration of chemicals
49
pulmonary embolism (PE)
occlusion in the pulmonary circulation, most often caused by a blood clot
50
endoscopy
examination inside a body cavity with a flexible endoscope for diagnostic or treatment purposes
51
Bronchoscopy
use of a flexible endoscope, called a bronchoscope, to examine the airways
52
Pulse oximetry
noninvasive method of estimating the percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood using an oximeter with a specialized probe attached to the skin at a site of arterial pulsation, commonly the finger; used to monitor hypoxemia
53
pneumonectomy
removal of an entire lung
54
thoracentesis
puncture for aspiration of the chest (pleural cavity)
55
thoracotomy
incision into the chest
56
tracheostomy
creation of an opening in the trachea, usually to insert a tube
