aldosterone.
Adenoids - -------CORRECT ANSWER----Lymphoid tissue located behind the nose.
Airway narrowing - -------CORRECT ANSWER----Constriction of air passages leading to breathing
difficulties.

inflammation.
Airway Restriction - -------CORRECT ANSWER----Caused by hypertonia in Down syndrome.

Basilar crackles - -------CORRECT ANSWER----Lung sounds indicating fluid overload in heart failure.
Basilar Skull Fracture - -------CORRECT ANSWER----A Battle sign, or Battle's sign, is a bruise that indicates
