IPHY 2400 - Medical Terminology
Exam 2 Questions and All Correct.
Pulmonologist - Answer The study of the respiratory system
Pulmon/o- - Answer Lung
Function of Respiratory System - Answer Bring oxygen into the body and expel carbon
dioxide (the waste)
nas/o- - Answer nose
-al - Answer pertaining to
Pharynx meaning, and the three parts - Answer Throat
nasopharynx (nose), oropharynx (mouth), laryngopharynx (adam's apple/ voice box)
Larynx - Answer voice box and allows are into the trachea, first part of the lower respiratory
tract
Upper respiratory infection (URI) - Answer A bacterial or viral infection of the upper
respiratory tract; a head cold. spread by contact.
Trachea - Answer windpipe, passage way for inhaled and exhaled air
connecting passageway between the larynx and the bronchi
Bronchi - Answer main air passages that branch from the trachea into the lungs
carry air to and from lungs and FILTER, WARM and MOISTEN incoming air via mucus and cilia
Bronchioles - Answer smallest bronchi, smooth muscle and no cartilage
small passageway that ends in several alveoli
Asthma - Answer Hyperreactivity of the bronchi or bronchioles to an allergen or inhaled
substance
causes inflammation, excess mucus production and bronchospasm
,Bronchitis - Answer infection or inflammation of the bronchi caused by bacteria or viruses
acute -> infection
chronic -> smoking or pollution
Bronchiectasis - Answer PERMANENT enlargement and loss of elasticity in the bronchioles
allowing secretions to accumulate
bronchi/o- - Answer bronchus
-iectasis - Answer condition of dilation
Reactive airway disease - Answer reversible airway narrowing and wheezing
Anatomy of the lungs - Answer spongy, air-filled structures
right lung contains 3 lobes (divisions) and the left lung contains 2
Right upper, middle and lower lobe and Left upper and lower
left lung has cardiac notch for heart to sit in
top of lung is the Apex
base of lung rests on the diaphragm
Abnormal breath sounds (BS) - Answer sounds that are different from normal (soft wind
sounds)
Pleural friction rub sound - Answer creaking or grating, due to inflammation of pleura
(tissues surrounding organs)
Crackles/Rales sound - Answer irregular crackling or bubbling, due to fluid or infection in the
alveoli
Rhonchi sound - Answer humming, whistling, or snoring due to mucus or foreign body
obstruction (FBO)
Stridor sound - Answer high-pitched crowing, due to edema or obstruction
Wheezers sound - Answer high-pitched whistling or squeaking, due to asthma attack
, Atelectasis - Answer Collapse of all or part of the lung
atel/o- - Answer incomplete
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - Answer chronic obstructive lung, including
bronchitis and emphysema. due to chronic air pollution or smoking
severe coughing, shortness of breath (SOB)
Cystic fibrosis (CF) - Answer inherited condition = respiratory, digestive and sweat secretions
problems
constant coughing
mucus secreted is too thick and blocks alveoli making it hard for airflow
Emphysema - Answer Localized pockets of pus that have collected inside a body cavity of the
lung due to a bacterial infection
py/o- - Answer pus
em- - Answer in
Influenza - Answer respiratory infection, the flu
fever, muscle ache and cough
legionnaires' disease - Answer bacterial infection. flu like symptoms —> severe pneumonia
and liver and kidney degradation
Occupational lung diseases - Answer constant workplace exposure to inhaled particles
Lung cancer - Answer common among smokers when tar deposits in the lungs become
cancerous and spread
Pneumonia - Answer infection of lobes of the lungs; white blood cells, and microorganisms
fill passages, anything accumulating in the lungs
aspir/o- - Answer to breath in
Pulmonary edema - Answer build up of fluid in the alveoli
