Explanation:
Mary - by winding paths this is what I found :)

1. Houaiss: (repetindo a citação da Marlene)
Colabar - Rubrica: medicina. - provocar ou sofrer aluimento (um órgão ou uma estrutura de um órgão)
Aluir –
1. tirar a firmeza de; abalar, sacudir, minar
2 fazer cair ou cair por **desmoronamento**; vir ou fazer vir abaixo; abater(-se), derribar(-se),

2. Merriam Webster (medical)
**Collapse /Collapsible:**
1: to fall or shrink together abruptly and completely : fall into a jumbled or flattened mass through the force of external pressure a blood vessel that collapsed

2: to break down in vital energy, stamina, or self-control through exhaustion or disease; especially: to fall helpless or unconscious

Hope this helps!
