    Study Notes

    Respiratory Anatomy and Terms

    • Bronchi: Tubes that bifurcate from the windpipe, leading into the lungs.
    • Apex: Uppermost portion of the lung.
    • Mediastinum: Space between the lungs within the chest cavity.
    • Adenoids: Nasopharyngeal lymphatic tissue crucial for immune response.
    • Pulmonary parenchyma: Composed of alveoli and bronchioles, essential for gas exchange.

    Surgical and Procedural Terms

    • Laryngectomy: Surgical removal of the voice box.
    • Endotracheal intubation: Tube placed through the mouth to the trachea for airway management.
    • Bronchoscopy: Endoscopic examination of the bronchi.

    Respiratory Conditions and Symptoms

    • Hypoxemia: Condition characterized by decreased levels of oxygen in the blood.
    • Asbestosis: A type of pneumoconiosis caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers.
    • Orthopnea: Difficulty breathing that occurs when lying down, relieved by sitting up.
    • Pyothorax: Collection of pus in the pleural cavity.
    • Expectoration: The act of expelling material from the lungs.

    Clinical Signs and Symptoms

    • Dyspnea: Difficult or labored breathing.
    • Asthma: Bronchial airway obstruction marked by dyspnea, wheezing, and coughing.
    • Atelectasis: Collapse of lung or part of lung leading to reduced gas exchange.
    • Hemoptysis: Spitting up blood from the lungs.
    • Dysphonia: Impairment of voice resulting in hoarseness.

    Diagnostic Tests and Measurements

    • PPD Test: Tuberculin test used to detect exposure to tuberculosis.
    • Hypercapnia: High carbon dioxide levels in the blood, often indicative of respiratory failure.
    • Tachypnea: Abnormally rapid breathing.

    Structures and Components of the Respiratory System

    • Alveoli: Air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
    • Parietal pleura: Outer fold of the pleura lying close to the ribs.
    • Cilia: Thin hairs that help to trap and expel foreign particles from the respiratory tract.
    • Hilum: The middle region where bronchi, blood vessels, and nerves enter and exit the lungs.

    Respiratory Diseases

    • Chronic bronchitis: Inflammation of tubes leading from the trachea, causing chronic cough and mucus production.
    • Emphysema: Hyperinflation of air sacs with destruction of alveolar walls; leads to decreased respiratory function.
    • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Airway obstruction seen in conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
    • Pulmonary embolism: Clot in the lungs, often from deep vein thrombosis, causing respiratory distress.
    • Pulmonary edema: Accumulation of fluid in the air sacs, often due to heart failure.

    Other Important Terms

    • Rales: Crackling noises in the lungs indicating fluid in the alveoli.
    • Pleurodynia: Chest pain associated with pleural irritation.
    • Epiglottis: Lid-like structure that covers the voice box during swallowing to prevent aspiration.
    • Cystic fibrosis: Inherited disease affecting exocrine glands, leading to thick mucus production that clogs airways.

    Lymphatic Structures

    • Palatine tonsils: Collections of lymphatic tissue located in the oropharynx.
    • Adenoid hypertrophy: Enlargement of the adenoids, often leading to obstructive symptoms in children.
