~ a breathing device for administering long-term artificial respiration
respiratory acidosis
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ acidosis resulting from reduced gas exchange in the lungs (as in emphysema or pneumonia); excess carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid which increases the acidity of the blood
respiratory center
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ the center in the medulla oblongata and pons that integrates sensory information about the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and determines the signals to be sent to the respiratory muscles
respiratory disease
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a disease affecting the respiratory system
respiratory quotient
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide expired to the volume of oxygen consumed by an organism or cell in a given period of time
respiratory alkalosis
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ alkalosis resulting from increased gas exchange in the lungs (as in hyperventilation associated with extreme anxiety or aspirin intoxication or metabolic acidosis)
respiratory rate
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ the rate at which a person inhales and exhales; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health
respiratory disorder
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a disease affecting the respiratory system
respiratory illness
— Navneord
