Answer

The medical terms matching the provided definitions are as follows: 1. contains both mucus and pus: mucopurulent (from 'muco-' meaning mucus and '-purulent' meaning containing or consisting of pus). 2. open: patent (a common medical term used to describe a vessel, duct, or airway that is open and unobstructed). 3. difficulty breathing: dyspnea (from 'dys-' meaning difficult or painful and '-pnea' meaning breathing). 4. ventilation deficient causing CO2 to increase: hypoventilation (deficient or shallow breathing that leads to an accumulation of carbon dioxide). 5. excessive CO2: hypercapnia (from 'hyper-' meaning excessive and '-capnia' referring to carbon dioxide). 6. absence in breathing: apnea (from 'a-' meaning without and '-pnea' meaning breathing). 7. narrowing of trachea: tracheal stenosis (where 'tracheal' relates to the windpipe and 'stenosis' means an abnormal narrowing of a body passage). 8. normal, good breathing: eupnea (from 'eu-' meaning good or normal and '-pnea' meaning breathing). 9. pertaining to larynx: laryngeal (formed from the root 'laryng/o' for the voice box and the suffix '-eal' meaning pertaining to). 10. reduced O2 in the tissues: hypoxia (from 'hypo-' meaning below/low and '-oxia' referring to oxygen). 11. without voice: aphonia (from 'a-' meaning without and 'phon/o' relating to voice or sound).
