Not sure about the first one

http://meded.ucsd.edu/clinicalmed/lung.htm this one I found accidentally, but might want to check it out for your physical exams as it breaks it down by systems.

second s/l is fremitus (chest wall vibration)

â��Eâ�� to â��Aâ�� changes in the lungs (egophony). Your doctor may have you say the letter â��Eâ�� while he listens to your chest. Pneumonia may cause the â��Eâ�� to sound like the letter â��Aâ�� when heard through a stethoscope.
