Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bronchogenic carcinoma refers to lung cancer that starts in the cells lining the bronchi (large airways). Adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma are two types of bronchogenic carcinoma.

Answer: J 
 Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. It is most often caused by exposure to asbestos.

Answer: M 
 A pleural effusion is a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including heart failure, pneumonia, and cancer.

Answer: N 
 Pulmonary edema is a condition in which excess fluid accumulates in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including heart failure, kidney failure, and pneumonia.

Answer: Q 
 Thoracentesis is a medical procedure in which a needle is inserted through the chest wall to remove fluid from the pleural space. It is often used to diagnose and treat pleural effusions.

Answer: R 
 Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in which a hole is made in the front of the neck and a tube is inserted into the trachea (windpipe) to help the person breathe. It is often used in emergency situations or for people with long-term breathing problems.

Answer: S 
 Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Answer: T
 Wheezes are high-pitched whistling sounds that are heard during breathing. They are often a sign of narrowing or blockage in the airways, and can be heard in conditions such as asthma and COPD.
