⩥ Allergies.
Answer: An immune response to a substance (allergen) that is typically
harmless, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, and swelling.
⩥ Alveoli.

Answer: The partial or complete collapse of a lung or lobe of a lung,
leading to reduced gas exchange.
⩥ Barrel Chest.
Answer: A condition where the chest appears rounded and bulging, often
associated with chronic lung diseases like emphysema.
⩥ Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP).
Answer: A non-invasive ventilation support system that provides two
levels of pressure for inhalation and exhalation.
⩥ Blood Gas Studies.
Answer: Tests that measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in
the blood, as well as blood pH, to assess lung function.
⩥ Bronchi.
Answer: The large air passages that branch from the trachea to the lungs.
⩥ Bronchiole.
