Question
Chapter 17, Problem 20RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The definition of the terms: pneumothorax, spirometer, auscultation, hypoventilation, bronchoconstriction, minute volume, the partial pressure of the gas.
Introduction: When air enters the body, it moves from trachea to bronchi. When air enters the lungs, lungs show expansion. Air reaches the alveoli and gaseous exchange takes place at alveoli.

1. Material expelled from the lungs or upper respiratory tract
by spitting -
2. Continuous high-pitched whistling sounds produced during
breathing -
3. Tapping on a surface to determine the difference in density
of the underlying structure -
4. Loud, rumbling sound heard on auscultation over bronchi
obstructed by sputum -
5. Fine crackling sound heard on auscultation during inhalation
6. Scratchy sound produced by pleural surfaces roughened by
inflammation rubbing against each other -
7. Listening to sounds within the body -
8. Strained, high-pitched sound made on inhalation; caused by
obstruction in the pharynx or larynx -
Tabulate the differences of the layers of the ff:
Nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, Intrapulmonary primary bronchus, vestibulum, mesobronchus, secondary bronchus tertiary bronchus (parabronchus), air vesicle and air capillaries.
