Hemoptysis describes which symptom?

Explanation:
Hemoptysis means coughing up blood from the respiratory tract. It indicates bleeding in the lungs or airways, not from the stomach or nose. This is different from vomiting blood (which is a GI bleed), blood in the stool, or a nosebleed. In practice, recognizing coughing up blood points to pulmonary or airway sources and guides appropriate airway assessment, suctioning, and oxygen support as needed.
