bronchoscopy.
mediastinoscopy.

mediastinography.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the exocrine glands, leading to the production of thick, sticky mucus. This mucus can clog the airways, pancreas, and other organs. A barrel - shaped chest is more commonly associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bronchospasm is a sudden constriction of the muscles in the walls of the bronchioles, often seen in asthma. Fluid in the lungs can be caused by various conditions like heart failure or pneumonia.

For question 13, bronchography is a radiological procedure that uses a contrast medium to visualize the trachea and bronchi. Bronchoscopy is an endoscopic procedure where a bronchoscope is inserted into the airways. Mediastinoscopy is an endoscopic examination of the mediastinum. Mediastinography is a radiological examination of the mediastinum.

Answer:

1. very thick mucus secretions.
2. bronchography.
