[Problems in visiometry examining tracheo-bronchial-secretions (author's transl)]. 1979

C L Heiden, and H J Kornmesser, and A Kretschmann

For documentation of the influence of secretolytica tracheo-bronchial-secretions of 60 tracheotomied patients were examined with a modified cone and plate viscosimeter. The reliability of this method is discussed and compared wtih other technics of viscosimetry.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D001980	Bronchi	The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into BRONCHIOLES and PULMONARY ALVEOLI.

D012636	Secretory Rate	The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa.
