Bronchial Sounds - ANS-Heard above the manubrium over the trachea. Usually harsh,
high-pitched and loud.
Bronchovesicular Sounds - ANS-Heard over the main bronchi and are usually of
medium loudness, and deeper pitch than bronchial sounds.
Vesicular Sounds - ANS-Heard over the lower bronchi, bronchioles, and lobes.
How many lobes does the left lung have? - ANS-2 lobes
How many lobes does the right lung have? - ANS-3 lobes
Decreased Breath Sounds - ANS-These sounds occur with airway disease or
obstruction, diaphragm paralysis, or impairment of sound transmission through the
chest wall. No sounds usually mean that no air is moving.
Increased Breath Sounds - ANS-These are common abnormal findings with bronchial or
bronchovesicular sounds which are louder or harsher and in peripheral lung tissue
where vesicular sounds normally are. This can occur when the underlying lung tissue is
filled with liquid or solid material rather than air.
Adventitious Sounds - ANS-Sounds you hear in addition to normal sounds.
Fine Crackles - ANS-An adventitious sound that is faintly crackling and usually found at
the base of lobes.
Course Crackles - ANS-An adventitious sound that is loud and low-pitched bubbling
sounds when air meets secretions in the larger airways.
Rhonchi - ANS-An adventitious sound that is continuous, low-pitched, snoring sounds
that are caused by airway obstruction from thick mucous secretions, muscular
constriction or masses. Sounds like long snoring sounds, low-pitched and found in the
bronchi. Can sound like snoring or moaning.
