| respiratory dead space | That portion of the respiratory tract, from the nose and mouth to the terminal bronchioles, in which exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide does not occur (anatomical dead space), together with the space in alveoli occupied by air that does not participate in oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange (physiologic dead space). It reflects the nonuniformity of ventilation and perfusion in the lung. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| respiratory distress syndrome | <syndrome> A condition of the newborn marked by dyspnea with cyanosis, heralded by such prodromal signs as dilatation of the alae nasi, expiratory grunt, and retraction of the suprasternal notch or costal margins, mostly frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers, and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no apparent predisposing cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn | A disease seen especially in premature neonates with respiratory distress; characterised postmortem by atelectasis and alveolar ducts lined by an eosinophilic membrane; also associated with reduced amounts of lung surfactant. Synonym: hyaline membrane syndrome, respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn. (05 Mar 2000) |

| respiratory enzyme complexes | <biochemistry> The enzymes that make up the respiratory chain: NADH Q reductase, succinate Q reductase, cytochrome reductase, cytochrome C and cytochrome oxidase. (18 Nov 1997) |
| respiratory epithelium | The pseudostratified ciliated epithelium that lines the conducting portion of the airway, including part of the nasal cavity and larynx, the trachea, and bronchi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory exchange ratio | The ratio of the net output of carbon dioxide to the simultaneous net uptake of oxygen at a given site, both expressed as moles or STPD volumes per unit time; in the steady state, respiratory exchange ratio is equal to the respiratory quotient of metabolic processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory failure | A clinical syndrome that is defined either by the inability to rid the body of C02 or establish an adequate blood oxygen level (PAO2). See: arterial blood gas. (27 Sep 1997) |
| respiratory frequency | The number of breaths per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory function tests | Measurement of the various processes involved in the act of respiration: inspiration, expiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, lung volume and compliance, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory hypersensitivity | A form of hypersensitivity affecting the respiratory tract. It includes asthma and hay fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory inhibitor | A compound that inhibits the respiratory chain. Synonym: respiratory poison. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory insufficiency | Failure to adequately provide oxygen to cells of the body and to remove excess carbon dioxide from them. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compensated respiratory alkalosis | The increased excretion of acid ions by the kidney to minimise the effect on the pH of the blood of excessive loss of carbon dioxide via the lungs, such as occurs with hyperventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by outbreaks of late term abortions, high numbers of stillbirths and mummified or weak newborn piglets, and respiratory disease in young unweaned and weaned pigs. It is caused by swine infertility and respiratory syndrome virus. (radostits et al., veterinary medicine, 8th ed, p1048) (12 Dec 1998) |
| signs and symptoms, respiratory | Respiratory system manifestations of diseases of the respiratory tract or of other organs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine infertility and respiratory syndrome virus | A species of arterivirus causing reproductive and respiratory disease in pigs. The european strain is called lelystad virus. Airborne transmission is common. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diagnostic techniques, respiratory system | Methods and procedures for the diagnosis of diseases of the respiratory tract or its organs. It includes respiratory function tests. (12 Dec 1998) |
| external respiratory nerve of Bell | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical nerves (roots of brachial plexus), descends the neck behind the brachial plexus, and is distributed to the serratus anterior muscle; it is somewhat unusual in that it courses on the superficial aspect of the muscle is supplies; its paralysis results in "winged scapula". Synonym: nervus thoracicus longus, Bell's respiratory nerve, external respiratory nerve of Bell, posterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| upper respiratory infection | Any number of viral or bacterial infections that includes infections of the throat, nasopharynx, sinuses, larynx, trachea or bronchi. (27 Sep 1997) |
| upper respiratory tract | The nasopharynx, oral cavity, and throat. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Krause's respiratory bundle | A slender, compact fibre bundle extending longitudinally through the dorsolateral region of the medullary tegmentum, surrounded by the nucleus of the solitary tract, below the obex decussating over the central canal, and descending over some distance into the upper cervical segments of the spinal cord. It is composed of primary sensory fibres that enter with the vagus, glossopharyngeal, and facial nerves, and in part convey information from stretch receptors and chemoreceptors in the walls of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and intestinal tracts; in rostral parts of the tract impulses are generated by the receptor cells of the taste buds in the mucosa of the tongue. Its fibres are distributed to the nucleus of the solitary tract. Synonym: tractus solitarius, fasciculus rotundus, fasciculus solitarius, funiculus solitarius, Gierke's respiratory bundle, Krause's respiratory bundle, round fasciculus, solitary bundle, solitary fasciculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower respiratory tract | <anatomy> The trachea, bronchi, and lungs. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lower respiratory tract smear | A group of cytologic specimens containing material from the lower respiratory tract and consisting mainly of sputum (spontaneous, induced) and material obtained at bronchoscopy (aspirated, lavaged, brushed); used for cytologic study of cancer and other diseases of the lungs. Synonym: bronchoscopic smear, sputum smear. (05 Mar 2000) |
