• lungs

• heart

• intestines

• arteries

Choose main breath sounds

• vesicular respiration

• bronchial respiration

• rales

• crepitation

Vesicular respiration is associated with:

• the presence of cavities in the lungs

• an air that passes through the larynx, glottis and upper trachea

• alveolar walls vibration

• an air flow that passes through bronchi containing a secret of different viscosity

Vesicular respiration is best of all heard in:

• jugular fossa

• the armpit

• subclavicular area

• subscapular area

• high-standing diaphragm

• ribs fracture

• hydrothorax

• excessive development of muscles

• athletes

• children

• older people

• middle-aged people

Amphoric respiration can be heard in a patient with:

• pneumonia

• a large cavity in the lung communicating with bronchus

• pneumothorax

• hydrothorax

Stenotic respiration (stridor) is heard in the patients with:

• narrowed larynx or trachea

• spontaneous pneumothorax

• a large cavity in the lungs

• hydrothorax

Sibilant rales can be heard in:

• pneumonia

• bronchial asthma

• obstructive bronchitis

• tuberculous cavity

Pleural friction sound can be heard in:
