pleural cavity, chest listening to the passage of air into and out of the lungs auscultation tapping on a surface to determine the difference in teh density of underlying structures percussion scratchy sound produced by pleural surfaces rubbing against each other pleural rub material expelled from the bronchi, lungs, or upper respiratory tract by spitting sputum chronic bronchial inflammatory disorder with airway obstruction due to bronchial edema, increased mucus production and bronchial constriction asthma inflammation of bronchi persisting over a long time chronic bronchitis hyperinflation of air sacs with destruction of alveolar walls emphysema 3 types of pneumoconiosis 1.) anthacosis 2.) silicosis 3.) asbestosis acute inflammation and infection of alveoli, which fill with pus or products of the inflammatory reaction pneumonia large collecction of pus in the lungs pulmonary abscess clot or other material lodges in vessels of the lung pulmonary embolism fluid in the air sacs and bronchioles pulmonary edema abnoramal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space pleural effusion collection of ait in the pleural space pneumothorax fiberoptic endoscope examination of the bronchial tubes bronchoscopy visual examination of the voice box laryngoscopy placement of a tube through the mouth into the pharynx, larynx, and trachea to establish an airway endotracheal intubation removal of lung tissue followed by microscopic examination lung biopsy large surgical incision of the chest thoracotomy surgical creation fo an opening into the trachea through the neck tracheostomy ARDS Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease CPR Cardiopulmonary resuscitation TB tuberculosis URI Upper Respiratory Infection the study of poisons or harmful substances and how they affect the body toxicology medication that blocks the action of a poison or harmful substance antidote an unexpected effect of a drug or medication on the body idiosyncrasy a medical condition caused by a treatment or medication iatrogenic effects of a drug beyond its intended purpose side effects a good reason why a particular medication should not be given to a patient contraindication liquid portion of the blood that contains water proteins salt etc... plasma protein in blood that maintains proper amount of water in the blood albumins protein that is converted into fibrin in the clotting process fibrinogen enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin during coagulation thrombin protein threads that form the basis of a blood clot fibrin plasma minus the clotting proteins and cells serum large platelet precursor cell found in the bone marrow megakaryocyte small blood fragment that collects at sites of injury to begin the clotting process platelets term for platelet thrombocyte hormone secreted by the kidneys that stimulates RBC formation erythropoietin destruction of blood hemolysis orange yellow pigment found in bile formed by the breakdown of hemoglobin bilirubin WBC that containing granules that stain blue and are associated with the release of histamines basophils WBC containing granules that stain red and are associated with allergic rxns eosinophils granulocytic luekocyte that is formed in bone marrow neutrophil leukocyte with one large nucleus monocyte mononuclear leukocyte that produces antibodies lymphocyte
