laryngitis
The sudden spasmodic closure of the larynx.
Inflammation of the larynx; also commonly used to describe voice loss that is caused by this inflammation.
A contagious bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract that is characterized by recurrent bouts of a paroxysmal cough, followed by breathlessness and a noisy inspiration.
The middle section of the chest cavity located between the lungs. This cavity contains the heart and its veins and arteries, the esophagus, trachea, bronchi, the thymus gland, and lymph nodes.
pulmonologist
A physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and disorders of the respiratory system.
A physician with specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the head and neck
An external monitor placed on the patient's fingertip or earlobe to measure the oxygen saturation level in the blood.
pleurodynia
pulse oximeter
pertussis
pneumonectomy
An infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that usually attacks the lungs; also known as TB, it can also affect other parts of the body.
spirometer
pyothorax
tuberculosis
pneumoconiosis
inflammation of the sinuses
infuenza
nasopharyngitis
sinusitis
pharyngitis
Inflammation of the larynx or the "voice box"
tonsillitis
pneumonia
laryngitis
dyspnea
A viral infection that affects the respiratory system. It strikes much quicker than a common cold. Commonly called "the flu"
sinusitis
Influenza
pneummonia
dyspnea
A temporary inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the trachea and bronchial passageways; causes a cough that may produce mucus.
pneumonia
acute bronchitis
tuberculosis
dyspnea
An infection of the lungs that causes inflammation; causes by a virus, bacterium, fungus or in rare cases
up in the lungs making gas exchange difficult
pneumonia
acute bronchitis
dyspnea
tuberculosis
A highly contagious bacterial infection cause by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It most commonly attacks the lungs, but can spread to other organs.
tuberculosis
dsypnea
pneumonia
influenza
Chronic inflammation of the lungs characterized by an abnormal increase in the air spaces near the bronchioles; causes an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the lungs.
bronchiospasms
chronic bronchitis
hyperventilation
emphysema
A long lasting respiratory condition in which the airways of the lungs become obstructed due to inflammation of the bronchi and excessive mucous production
acute bronchitis
hyperventilation
chronic bronchitis
emphysema
A disease of the lungs characterized by recurring episodes of airway inflammation causing bronchospasms and increased mucous production.
pneumonia
acute bronchitis
chronic bronchitis
asthma
Spasmatic contractions of the bronchiole muscles that constrict airways in the lungs during an asthma attack
chronic bronchitis
acute bronchitis
bronchospasms
pneumonia
Infection of the lungs where alveoli are flooded with bacteria and WBCs:
pneumonia
pleuritis/pleurisy
Roarers
pulmonary edema
Inelasticity of the lungs due to chronic inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue:
pleuritis/pleurisy
pneumothorax
pneumonia
emphysema
Disease characterized by inflamed, narrow airways that make it difficult for air to pass through.
COPD
Pulmonary Edema
Pneumothorax
Asthma
Treatable with antibiotics, characterized by painful sinuses, fever, and pus in the mucus.

What is the purpose of the pleura that surrounds the lungs?
To maintain the temperature within the lungs
To protect against friction during breathing
To exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide
To create negative pressure in the thoracic cavity
What is true about lung cancer?
It is often detected early in its development.
There is no treatment.
The symptoms are clear and identifiable.
It is the leading cause of cancer death in both males and females.
What is the purpose of ventilation?
The creation of oxygen cells
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
The circulation of blood
The physical act of breathing

heart burn
shortness of breath
nosebleed
wheezing

Barbara has asthma and uses an inhaler when she starts to wheeze. The purpose of the
device is to:
contract blood vessels.
dissolve mucus.
enlarge the bronchioles.
liquefy secretions in the lungs.
What respiratory disorders are highly contagious?
Emphysema and asthma
Influenza and URI

Sinusitis and epistaxis
Mr. Arnold is a heavy smoker, has a chronic cough, bluish tint to his skin, and a barrel chest.
He MOST LIKLEY suffers from:
Emphysema.
Epistaxis.
Pleurisy.
Tuberculosis.
Sarah has a chest x-ray that shows she has tubercles in her lungs. What does that mean?
She had tuberculosis in the past but has recovered.
She has a dormant form of tuberculosis that could become active if her resistance
is lowered.
She has a history of an infection that is similar to tuberculosis and therefore is immune
to TB.
She has an active case of tuberculosis and is being treated with antibiotics.
What diagnostic test provides physicians with a direct look at the lining of the respiratory
tract?
Bronchoscopy
Chest x-ray
