Term
| ______ _________ _______, also known as idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS), is one of the most common cases of respiratory distress in the newborn. This disease process results from surfactant deficiency caused by cell immaturity or birth trauma. |

Definition
|
|
Term
| _____ is primarily a viral infection of young children that produces inflammatory obstructive swelling localized to the subglottic portion of the trachea. The edema causes inspiratory stridor or a barking cough, depending on the degree of laryngeal obstruction. |

|
Term
| __________ is an acute infection of the epiglottis, most commonly caused by haemophilus influenzae in children, causes thickening of the epiglottic tissue and the surrounding pharyngeal structures. |

Definition
|
|
Term
| ________ pneumonia, exemplified by pneumococcal pneumonia, is produced by an organism that causes an inflammatory exudate that replaces air in the alveoli, so that the affected part of the lung is no longer air containing. It spreads from one alveolus to the next by way of communicating channels. It may involve pulmonary segments or an entire lobe. |

Definition
| Alveolar (air-space) pneumonia |
|
|
Term
| What is it called when pneumonia affects an entire lobe? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ______________ is usually caused by staphylococcal infection, and it is primarily an inflammation that originates in the bronchi or the bronchiolar mucosa and spreads to adjacent alveoli. Alveolar spread of the infection in the peripheral air spaces is minimal, so the inflammation tends to produce small patches. The bronchial inflammation can cause airway obstruction and in-turn cause atelectasis. |

|
Term
| _________ pneumonia is most commonly produced by viral and mycoplasmal infections. In this type of pneumonia, the inflammatory process predominantly involves the walls and lining of the alveoli and the interstitial supporting structures of the lung, the alveoli septa. |

Term
| What type of pneumonia is caused by the aspiration of esophageal or gastric contents into the lung? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ________ is caused by the spore-like microbe known as bacillus anthracis. When inhaled, it germinates in the lung tissue and lymph nodes, producing deadly toxins that cause cellular edema and disruption of normal cell function. |

Term
| _________ _______ means fungal infection of the lung. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| _____________ is swelling and mucus build-up in the smallest air passages in the lungs (bronchioles), usually due to a viral infection |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| _______ _________ __________ ________ includes several conditions in which chronic obstruction of the airway leads to an ineffective exchange of respiratory gases and makes breathing difficult. |
|

| Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease "COPD" |
