25
anything that’s being carried such as tobacco smoke in the lungs gets deposited in the area around the _____
terminal bronchioles
26
centrilobar/centriacinar emphysema means..
where the respiratory bronchioles transition off the terminal bronchioles
27
airflow obstruction (
28
increases Lung Volumes And Impairs Airflow
emphysema
29
flattening of _____ decreases ability to generate pressure
diaphragm
30
Pressure you can generate is _____ related to radius
inversely (smaller radius, can generate more pressure)
31
how would this person breathe effectively since they have flattened diaphragm
accessory muscles (external intercostals, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes)
32
RV higher than normal, FRC higher
obstructive lung disease
33
TLC is higher in this obstructive lung disease
emphysema
34
TLC stays the same in this obstructive lung disease
asthma
35
bronchi filled with mucus and causes luminal narrowing
chronic bronchitis
36
destruction of elastin; dilated airspaces (bronchioles easily compressible)
emphysema
37
airflow obstruction that is not fully reversible; emphysema and chronic bronchitis
COPD
38
Tobacco, work exposures to fumes, secondhand smoke, air pollution, vaping
can lead to COPD
39
major cause of COPD worldwide
smoking, air pollution, indoor cooking w/ wood
40
smoker's cough present for atleast 3 months; excessive sputum production
chronic bronchitis
41
Narrowing of lumen due to mucous glands and smooth muscle cell hyperplasia
chronic bronchitis
42
more mucous is being secreted into the airways which impairs airflow obstruction (due to mucous gland hyperplasia)
chronic bronchitis
43
marked increase in mucous glands
chronic bronchitis
44
alveolar wall destruction w/ irreversible enlargement of the air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles
emphysema
45
can cause permanent enlargement of the acinus
emphysema
46
pan-acinar emphysema (in lower lobes)
A1AT deficiency
47
centri-acinar emphysema
smokers
48
Loss of elastic recoil; airways and alveoli lost elasticity that allows them to stay open (easy to collapse); gas trapping
emphysema
49
destruction of elastic fibers air trapping
emphysema
50
"moth eaten"
emphysema
51
destroys alveolar-capillary bed
