Most medical terms are comprised of a root word plus a suffix (word ending) and/or a prefix (beginning of the word). Here are some examples related to the Respiratory System. For more details see Chapter 4: Understanding the Components of Medical Terminology Show
The release of energy from the reduction of metals (such as iron, manganese, or sulfur) by cells or organisms that do not use oxygen as their primary energy source. apneustic respirationBreathing marked by prolonged inspiration unrelieved by attempts to exhale. It is seen in patients who have had the upper part of the pons of the brain removed or damaged. artificial respirationMaintenance of respiratory movement by artificial means, such as rescue breathing, bag mask, pocket mask, automatic transport ventilator, manual transport ventilator, or a flow-restricted oxygen-powered ventilation device. Biot respirationSEE: Biot breathing. Bouchut respirationSEE: Bouchut respiration cell respirationThe gradual breakdown of food molecules in the presence of oxygen within cells, resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide and water and the release of energy in the forms of adenosine triphosphate and heat. In many intermediary reactions, substances other than oxygen act as oxidizing agents (hydrogen or electron acceptors). Reactions are catalyzed by respiratory enzymes, which include the flavoproteins, cytochromes, and other enzymes. Certain vitamins (nicotinamide, riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine, and pantothenic acid) are essential in the formation of components of various intracellular enzyme systems. Cheyne-Stokes respirationSEE: Cheyne-Stokes respiration cogwheel respirationSEE: Interrupted respiration. costal respirationRespiration in which the chest cavity expands by raising the ribs. cutaneous respirationThe transpiration of gases through the skin. decreased respirationRespiration at less than a normal rate for the individual's age. In adults, it is a respiratory rate of less than 12 breaths per minute. Slower than normal respiratory rates occur after opiate or sedative use, during sleep, in coma, and other conditions and may result in respiratory failure or carbon dioxide retention. diaphragmatic respirationSEE: Abdominal respiration. direct respirationRespiration in which an organism, such as a one-celled ameba, secures its oxygen and gives up carbon dioxide directly to the surrounding medium. electrophrenic respirationSEE: Radiofrequency electrophrenic respiration. external respirationThe exchange of gases in the lungs. Oxygen diffuses from the air to the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the air. fetal respirationGas exchange in the placenta between the fetal and maternal blood. forced respirationVoluntary hyperpnea. internal respirationThe exchange of gases in body tissues. Oxygen diffuses from the blood to the cells, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells to the blood. Oxygen is carried in combination with hemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin gives arterial blood its red color; reduced hemoglobin gives venous blood its dark red color. Most carbon dioxide is carried in the blood as bicarbonate ions; a small amount is bonded to hemoglobin. Normally the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood is 75 to 100 mm Hg, depending on age; for carbon dioxide it is 35 to 45 mm Hg. interrupted respirationRespiration in which inspiratory or expiratory sounds are not continuous. intrauterine respirationRespiration by the fetus before birth. Kussmaul respirationSEE: Kussmaul, Adolph labored respirationRespiration that involves active participation of accessory inspiratory and expiratory muscles; dyspnea. mitochondrial respirationThe stages of cell respiration (citric acid cycle and cytochrome transport system) that take place in the mitochondria. Water is formed from oxygen and hydrogen ions, and energy is released. paradoxical respiration1. Respiration occurring in patients with chest trauma and multiple rib fractures in which a portion of the chest wall sinks inward with each spontaneous inspiratory effort. periodic respirationSEE: Periodic breathing. placental respirationSEE: Fetal respiration. radiofrequency electrophrenic respirationA method of stimulating respiration in cases of respiratory paralysis from spinal cord injury at the cervical level. Intermittent electrical stimuli to the phrenic nerves are supplied by a radiofrequency transmitter implanted subcutaneously. The diaphragmatic muscles contract in response to these stimuli. slow respirationSEE: Decreased respiration. stertorous respirationSEE: Stertor. stridulous respirationRespiration marked by high-pitched crowing or barking sound heard on inspiration, caused by an obstruction near the glottis or in the respiratory passageway. thoracic respirationRespiration performed entirely by expansion of the chest when the abdomen does not move. It is seen when the peritoneum or diaphragm is inflamed, when the abdominal cavity is restricted by tight bandages or clothes, or during abdominal surgery. tissue respirationSEE: Internal respiration. vicarious respirationIncreased respiration in one lung when respiration in the other is lessened or abolished. respiration is a sample topic from the Taber's Medical Dictionary.

The interchange of gases between an organism and the medium in which it lives. In humans this involves breathing (inhaling and exhaling) primarily to take in oxygen and deliver it through pulmonary capillaries to the blood, and excreting carbon dioxide.
What is normal breathing quizlet?The normal respiration rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. A respiration rate under 12 or over 25 breaths per minute while resting is considered abnormal.

Which term means easy or normal breathing? eupnea. The mediastinum is the cartilage that forms the lower portion of the breast bone.
Is the term for normal quiet breathing?Eupnea is normal quiet breathing that requires contraction of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles. Diaphragmatic breathing requires contraction of the diaphragm and is also called deep breathing. Costal breathing requires contraction of the intercostal muscles and is also called shallow breathing.
