Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) -- Small hand-held aerosol canister used to deliver inhaled drugs. Surprisingly enough, about 80-90% of an MDI dose is left in the mouth and throat, meaning only 10-20% of the dose makes it to the lungs. This is taken into account when a dosage is prescribed, so do NOT increase the dosage on your own to accommodate this.

Lymphocyte -- A lymphocyte is any of a group of white blood cells of crucial importance to the adaptive part of the body's immune system. The adaptive portion of the immune system mounts a tailor-made defense when dangerous invading organisms penetrate the body's general defenses.
