Immunology - Adaptive Immunity (B cell Activation, Hypermutation and Class Switching Overview)Alveoli :
A tiny,thin-walled,capillary-rich sachets in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place
Diaphragm : A dome shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and is one of the main muscles of inspiration
Pleura : A thin membranous layer that encloses each lung and lines the thoracic cavity
Phonation : The production of sounds made by the vibration of vocal folds
Respiratory Bronchioles : Smaller bronchioles with occasional alveoli attached to their walls
Terminal Bronchiole :The smallest airways in the lungs where no gas exchange takes placeAlveolar pressure : The pressure of the air inside the lung alveoli
Alveolar ventilation : The rate at which new air reaches the alveoli, alveolar sacs, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles
Compliance : Stretchability of the lung tissue
Intrapleural pressure : The pressure of the fluid in the thin space between the lung pleura and the chest wall pleura
Mediastinum : The region in the thoracic cavity between the two pleural sacs containing the heart,trachea and other viscera other than the lungs
Surfactant : A complex mixture of several phospholipids, proteins and ions that is present on the inner surface of the alveoli and helps in reducing the surface tension
Transpulmonary pressure : The difference between alveolar pressure and the intrapleural pressureSurgical InstrumentsTypes of TremorsDermatological Microscopic TermsImportant ENT TermsImportant TermsMeaslesRAAS System
