Term |
Meaning |
The process of forming puss that can occur during the process of eliminating stimulus of inflammation. |
|
Abnormal accumulation of blood or other fluids in blood vessel or body part. |
|
Cells and fluids that has seeped out of blood vessels or an organ. |
|
Small sacs within the lungs that allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between lungs and bloodstream. |
|
Cells lining the alveoli of the lungs – also called alveolar cells. |
|
Carbon pigment in the lung. |
|
Smaller branches of airway passages from bronchi in lungs leading to alveoli. |
|
Major airway passages within the lungs – these branch off to become smaller passages called bronchiole. |
|
Protein involved in clotting of blood. Generated from fibrinogen via action of thrombin. Polymerisation of fibrin with platelets forms clot over a wound. |
|
Cell undergoing maturation towards a granulocyte or granulopoiesis. Occurs primarily in the bone marrow. |
|
Membranes surrounding the lungs. Visceral pleura surrounds lungs and parietal pleura lines the inner chest wall. |
|
The condition that arises as a consequence of a previous injury, disease or therapy. |
