Front 10

mediastinum

Back 10

central compartment of the thoracic cavity; contains the heart and its large vessels, trachea, esophagus, thymus, lymph nodes and connective tissue

Front 11

the exchange of two gases within the lungs. oxygen is exchanged for CO2. CO2 is exhaled.

Back 11

external respiration

Front 12

exchange of oxygen and CO2 at the cellular level within the organs of the body

Back 12

internal respiration

Front 13

increased shortness of breath due to lack of surfactant in alveoli

Back 13

respiratory distress syndrome

completely unexpected & unexplained death of an apparently normal & healthy infant, usually 10-12 weeks.

Back 14

sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)

Front 15

hemorrhage of the nose; aka nosebleed

Back 15

epistaxis

Front 16

inflammation of the paranasal sinuses

Back 16

sinusitis

Front 17

inflammation of a tonsil

Back 17

tonsillitus

Front 18

acute & severe inflammation & obstruction of the upper respiratory tract usually occuring 3 months to 3 years of age (more common in boys)

Back 18

croup

Front 19

inflammation of the epiglottis

Back 19

epiglottitis

Front 20

a diffuse extravascular accumulation of fluid in the pulmonary tissues and air spaces

Back 20

pulmonary edema

Front 21

hypertrophy & failure of the right ventricle of the heart. due to chronic lung disease

Back 21

cor pulmonale

Front 22

an acute bronchopneumonia disease caused by a G- bacillus

Back 22

Legionnaire's Disease

Front 23

collapsed or airless condition of all or part of the lung

Back 23

atelectasis

Front 24

collection of air/gas in the pleural cavity from lung or outside

Back 24

pneumothorax

Front 25

acute inflammation of the resp. bronchioles, alveolar ducts/sacs & alveoli. may be unilateral or bilateral

pleural effusion

Front 28

inflammation of the visceral & parietal pleural membranes around each lung

Back 28

pleurisy (pleuritis)

Front 29

passageways become obstructed w/ mucus. air reaches the alveoli in the lungs during inhalation but may not be able to escape during exhalation

Back 29

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) *OR* chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD)

Front 30

permanent abnormal dilation of small & medium-sized bronchi resulting from the destruction of muscular & elastic components of the bronchial walls. usually bilateral involving the lower lobes
