| respiratory pulse | Waxing and waning of any pulsation produced by respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| respiratory quotient | <physiology> Molar ratio of carbon dioxide production to oxygen consumption. (18 Nov 1997) |
| respiratory rate | The number of breaths per minute (or, more formally, the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration per unit time). In practice, the respiratory rate is usually determined by counting the number of times the chest rises (or falls) per minute. By whatever means, the aim is to determine if the respirations are normal, abnormally fast (tachypnea), abnormally slow (technically termed bradypnea), or nonexistent (apnea). (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory region of tunica mucosa of nose | The area commencing at the vestibule of the nose lined with respiratory mucosa; with the exception of the olfactory mucusa, it includes the entire nasal cavity. Synonym: regio respiratoria tunicae mucosae nasi, respiratory region of tunica mucosa of nose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory scleroma | Rhinoscleroma in which the lesion involves the mucous membrane of the greater part or all of the upper respiratory tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory sound | A murmur, bruit, fremitus, rhonchus, or rale heard on auscultation over the lungs or any part of the respiratory tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory sounds | Any sound emanating from any portion of the respiratory tract, especially those heard on auscultation; includes breath sounds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory system | The organs that are involved in breathing. These include the nose, throat, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory system abnormalities | Congenital structural abnormalities of the respiratory system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory system agents | Drugs used for their effects on the respiratory system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory therapy | Exercises and treatments that help patients recover lung function, such as after surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory therapy department, hospital | Hospital department which is responsible for the administration of diagnostic pulmonary function tests and of procedures to restore optimum pulmonary ventilation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory tract | The air passages from the nose to the pulmonary alveoli, through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory tract fistula | An abnormal passage communicating between any parts of the respiratory tract or between any part of the respiratory system and other organs. (12 Dec 1998) |
