| abdominal respiration | Breathing effected mainly by the action of the diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| aerobic respiration | A form of respiration in which molecular oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide and water are produced. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amphoric respiration | A sound like that made by blowing across the mouth of a bottle, heard on auscultation in some cases in which a large pulmonary cavity exists, or occasionally in pneumothorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaerobic respiration | Respiration under anaerobic conditions. The terminal electron acceptor, instead of oxygen in the case of regular respiration, can be: carbon dioxide, Fe2+, fumarate, nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide, sulphur, sulphate, etc. Note that anaerobic respiration still uses the electron transport chain to dump the electron while fermentation does not. (09 Oct 1997) |
| artificial respiration | Application of mechanically or manually generated pressures, usually positive, to gas(es) in or about the airway as a means of producing gas exchange between the lungs and surrounding atmosphere. Synonym: artificial respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| assisted respiration | Application of mechanically or manually generated positive pressure to gas(es) in or about the airway during inhalation as a means of augmenting movement of gases into the lungs. Synonym: assisted respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Biot's respiration | Completely irregular breathing pattern, with continually variable rate and depth of breathing; results from lesions in the respiratory centres in the brainstem, extending from the dorsomedial medulla caudally to the obex. Synonym: ataxic breathing, Biot's breathing, respiratory ataxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial respiration | A tubular blowing sound caused by the passage of air through a bronchus in an area of consolidated lung tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchovesicular respiration | Combined bronchial and vesicular respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paradoxical respiration | Deflation of the lung during inspiration and inflation of the lung during the phase of expiration; seen in the lung on the side of an open pneumothorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular respiration | The respiratory murmur heard on auscultating over the normal lung. Synonym: respiratory murmur, vesicular murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesiculocavernous respiration | Cavernous respiration, due to the presence of a cavity, mingled with the vesicular murmur of the surrounding normal lung tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous respiration | A hollow reverberating sound heard on auscultation over a cavity in the lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell respiration | The exergonic metabolic processes in living cells, animal or plant, by which molecular oxygen is taken in, organic substances are oxidised, free energy is released, and carbon dioxide, water, and other oxidised products are given off by the cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cellular respiration | <biochemistry> The conversion within the cell of nutrients (such as sugar molecules) into chemical energy in the form of ATP, by reacting the food with oxygen (O2) until the food has completely been degraded into carbon dioxide and H2O. (09 Oct 1997) |
