1. Medical Terminology:A Programmed Approach Paula Bostwick and Heidi Weber Chapter 14: The Respiratory System

2. Learning Outcomes • Identify the parts of the respiratory system and discuss the function of each part. • Recognize the major word parts used in building words that relate to the respiratory system. • Recall the common diagnoses, laboratory tests, and clinical procedures used in testing and treating disorders of the respiratory system. • Define the major pathological conditions of the respiratory system. • Explain the meaning of surgical terms related to the respiratory system. • Recognize common pharmacological agents used in treating disorders of the respiratory system.

3. Function and Structure • System for breathing • Consists of upper / lower tracts • Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide

4. Upper and Lower Tract

5. The Lungs

6. Building Vocabulary • adenoid(o) adenoid • alveol(o) alveolus • bronch(o), bronchi(o) bronchus • bronchiol(o) bronchiole • capn(o) carbon dioxide

7. Building Vocabulary • epiglott(o) epiglottis • laryng(o) larynx • lob(o) lobe of the lung • mediastin(o) mediastinum • nas(o) nose • or(o) mouth

8. Building Vocabulary • ox(o), oxi, oxy oxygen • pharyng(o) pharynx • phon(o) voice, sound • phren(o) diaphragm • pleur(o) pleura • pneum(o),pneumon(o) air, lung

9. Building Vocabulary • rhin(o) nose • spir(o) breathing • steth(o) chest • thorac(o) thorax, chest • tonsill(o) tonsils • trachea(o) trachea

10. Respiratory Tract • Two Divisions • Upper = nose, nasal cavity, sinuses, and pharynx • Lower = larynx, trachea, bronchial tree and lungs • Exchange of gases

11. Vocal cords

12. Bronchioles / Alveoli

13. Bronchiole Tree

14. Lungs • Respiratory organ • Carry oxygen from atmosphere to bloodstream • Release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into atmosphere

15. Lobes of the Lung

16. Diagnostic, Procedural, Lab • Assist in diagnosing related conditions • Used in combination • Lead to diagnosis • Assist in treatment planning

17. Sinuses X-ray

18. Throat Culture

19. Healthy Lung

20. Tuberculosis

21. Pathological Conditions • Inflammations • Body’s way of protecting • Occur in both upper and lower tracts • bronchitis • chronic bronchitis • tonsillitis • pleurisy, pleuritis • epiglottitis • tracheitis • laryngitis • nasopharyngitis • pharynx • pharyngitis • rhinitis • laryngotracheobronchitis • adenoiditis • pneumonitis

22. Breathing Problems • Variety of breathing disorders • May be related to a disease or condition • Adequate oxygenation to the body

23. Pathological Terms I • The respiratory system can experience a wide variety of diseases and disorders.

24. Cystic Fibrosis

25. Blockage of Airway

26. Surgical Terms • Surgery may be performed on the respiratory system depending upon the disease or condition

27. Healthy Lung

28. Cancerous Lung

29. Tracheostomy
