lower respiratory tract smear
bronchoscopic smear
sputum smear | any of several cytologic smears obtained from different parts of the lower respiratory tract, used for cytologic study of cancer and other diseases of the lungs |
menorrhea
menstrual blood
menstrual flow | flow of blood from the uterus, occurs at roughly monthly intervals during a woman's reproductive years |
respiratory system
systema respiratorium | the system for taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide, in terrestrial animals this is accomplished by breathing |
respiratory tract
airway | the passages through which air enters and leaves the body |
| lower respiratory tract | the bronchi and lungs |
| upper respiratory tract | the nose and throat and trachea |
| respiratory organ | any organ involved in the process of respiration |
| respiratory center | the center in the medulla oblongata and pons that integrates sensory information about the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and determines the signals to be sent to the respiratory muscles |
flow chart
flowchart
flow diagram
flow sheet | a diagram of the sequence of operations in a computer program or an accounting system |
tidal flow
tidal current | the water current caused by the tides |
flow
flowing | the motion characteristic of fluids (liquids or gases) |
airflow
air flow
flow of air | the flow of air, she adjusted the fan so that the airflow was directed right at her |
stream
flow
current | dominant course (suggestive of running water) of successive events or ideas, two streams of development run through American history, stream of consciousness, the flow of thought, the current of history |
| turbulent flow | flow in which the velocity at any point varies erratically |
| streamline flow | flow of a gas or liquid in which the velocity at any point is relatively steady |
| laminar flow | nonturbulent streamline flow in parallel layers (laminae) |
| cash flow | the excess of cash revenues over cash outlays in a give period of time (not including nonash expenses) |
| flow | any uninterrupted stream or discharge |
menstruation
menses
menstruum
catamenia
period
flow | the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from puberty to menopause, the women were sickly and subject to excessive menstruation, a woman does not take the gout unless her menses be stopped--Hippocrates, the semen begins to appear in males and to be emitted at the same time of life that the catamenia begin to flow in females--Aristotle |
| respiratory quotient | the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide expired to the volume of oxygen consumed by an organism or cell in a given period of time |
stream
flow | something that resembles a flowing stream in moving continuously, a stream of people emptied from the terminal, the museum had planned carefully for the flow of visitors |
respiratory acidosis
carbon dioxide acidosis | acidosis resulting from reduced gas exchange in the lungs (as in emphysema or pneumonia), excess carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid which increases the acidity of the blood |
| respiratory alkalosis | alkalosis resulting from increased gas exchange in the lungs (as in hyperventilation associated with extreme anxiety or aspirin intoxication or metabolic acidosis) |
adult respiratory distress syndrome
ARDS
wet lung
white lung | acute lung injury characterized by coughing and rales, inflammation of the lungs which become stiff and fibrous and cannot exchange oxygen, occurs among persons exposed to irritants such as corrosive chemical vapors or ammonia or chlorine etc. |
respiratory disease
respiratory illness
respiratory disorder | a disease affecting the respiratory system |
respiratory distress syndrome
respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn
hyaline membrane disease | an acute lung disease of the newborn (especially the premature newborn), lungs cannot expand because of a wetting agent is lacking, characterized by rapid shallow breathing and cyanosis and the formation of a glassy hyaline membrane over the alveoli |
respiratory tract infection
respiratory infection | any infection of the respiratory tract |
| lower respiratory infection | infection of the lower respiratory tract |
severe acute respiratory syndrome
SARS | a respiratory disease of unknown etiology that apparently originated in mainland China in , characterized by fever and coughing or difficulty breathing or hypoxia, can be fatal |
| upper respiratory infection | infection of the upper respiratory tract |
flow
flow rate
rate of flow | the amount of fluid that flows in a given time |
respiratory rate
rate of respiration | the rate at which a person inhales and exhales, usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health |
