NUSA 401 Exam 2 |Questions with 100% correct
answers
Alveoli - ✔️✔️Functional units of the lung; the thin-walled chambers surrounded by networks of
capillaries that are the site of respiratory exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen
Angle of Louis - ✔️✔️Manubriosternal angle, the articulation of the manubrium and body of the
sternum, continuous with the second rib
Apnea - ✔️✔️cessation of breathing
Asthma - ✔️✔️An abnormal respiratory condition associated with allergic hypersensitivity to
certain inhaled allergens, characterized by bronchospasm, wheezing, and dyspnea
Atelectasis - ✔️✔️An abnormal respiratory condition characterized by collapsed, shrunken,
deflated section of alveoli
Bradypnea - ✔️✔️Slow breathing, <10 breaths per minute, regular rate
Bronchiole - ✔️✔️One of the smaller respiratory passageways into which the segmental bronchi
divide
Bronchitis - ✔️✔️Inflammation of the bronchi with partial obstruction of bronchi due to excessive
mucus secretion
Bronchophony - ✔️✔️The spoken voice sound heard through the stethoscope, which sounds soft,
muffled, and indistinct over normal lung tissue
, Bronchovesicular - ✔️✔️The normal breath sound heard over major bronchi, characterized by
moderate pitch and an equal duration of inspiration and expiration
Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - ✔️✔️A functional category of abnormal
respiratory conditions characterized by airflow obstruction (i.e.: emphysema, chronic
bronchitis)
Cilia - ✔️✔️Millions of hairlike cells lining the tracheobronchial tree
Consolidation - ✔️✔️The solidification of portions of lung tissue as it fills up with infectious
exudate, as in pneumonia
Crackles - ✔️✔️(Rales) abnormal, discontinuous, adventitious lung sounds heard on inspiration
Crepitus - ✔️✔️Coarse, crackling sensation palpable over the skin when air abnormally escapes
from the lung and enters the subcutaneous tissue
Dead space - ✔️✔️Passageways that transport air but are not available for gaseous exchange
(i.e.: trachea, bronchi)
Dyspnea - ✔️✔️Difficult, labored breathing
Egophony - ✔️✔️the voice sound of "eeeeee" heard through the stethoscope
Emphysema - ✔️✔️The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease characterized by enlargement of
alveoli distal to terminal bronchioles
Fissure - ✔️✔️The narrow crack dividing the lobes of the lungs
