			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>n. a palpable vibration on the human body.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hepatic fremitus</strong> is a vibration felt over a person&#8217;s liver. It is thought to be caused by a severely inflamed and necrotic liver rubbing up against the peritoneum.</li>
<li><strong>Hydatid fremitus</strong> is a vibratory sensation felt on palpating a hydatid cyst.</li>
<li><strong>Pericardial fremitus</strong> is a vibration felt on the chest wall due to the friction of the surfaces of the pericardium over each other.</li>
<li><strong>Periodontal fremitus</strong> occurs in either of the alveolar bones when an individual sustains trauma from occlusion. It is a result of teeth exhibiting at least slight mobility rubbing against the adjacent walls of their sockets, the volume of which has been expanded ever so slightly by inflammatory responses, bone resorption or both.</li>
<li><strong>Pleural fremitus</strong> is a palpable vibration of the wall of the thorax caused by friction between the parietal and visceral pleura of the lungs.</li>
<li><strong>Rhonchal fremitus</strong>, also known as <strong>bronchial fremitus</strong>, is a palpable vibration produced during breathing caused by partial airway obstruction.</li>
<li><strong>Subjective fremitus</strong> is a vibration felt by a person who hums with the mouth closed.</li>
<li><strong>Tussive fremitus</strong> is a vibration felt on the chest when a person coughs.</li>
<li><strong>Vocal Fremitus</strong>, also called <strong>pectoral fremitus</strong>, or <strong>tactile vocal fremitus</strong>, is a vibration felt on a person&#8217;s chest during low frequency vocalization.</li>
</ul>
