A lung disease characterized by inflamed, narrowed airways and difficulty breathing.

The main passageways directly attached to the lungs.

Small passages in the lungs that connect bronchi to alveoli

A genetic disorder that affects the lungs and other organs, characterized by difficulty breathing, coughing up sputum, and lung infections.

The passage of fluid to an organ or a tissue

A membrane around the lungs and inside the chest cavity

A fluid secreted by alveoli and found in the lungs

The amount of air breather in a normal inhalation or exhalation

The windpipe, which connects the larynx to the lungs

The movement of air in and out of the body via inhalation and exhalation

blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to other parts of the body.

small blood vessels that connect to venules.

the portion of the cardiac cycle in which the heart refills with blood.

the muscle that pumps blood throughout the body.

the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

white blood cells, which protect the body against disease.

clear fluid that moves throughout the lymphatic system to fight disease.

the organ between the esophagus and small intestine in which the major portion of digestion occurs.

the part of the peripheral nervous system that regulates unconscious body functions such as breathing and heart rate.

a nerve fiber that carries a nerve impulse away from the neuron cell body.

the process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in a muscle.

without intentional control.

fibrous tissue that produces force and motion to move the body or produce movement in parts of the body.
