Lungs Flashcards
(55 cards)
pulmonary artery orientation in the hilum for both lungs
left artery superior trunk, right artery anterior trunk
black pigment from pollution/carbon particulate
anthracotic pigment
inherited disorder of ion transport that affect fluid secretion in exocrine gland and in the epithelial lining of the respiratory (and GI) tracts
mucoviscidosis/Cystic fibrosis
most common form of empyshema, occurring primarily in smokers with COPD
centriacinar emphysema
large sub-pleural blebs (greater than 1cm), typically near apex
bullous emphysema
irreversible enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole, accompanied by destruction of their walls
emphysema
Progressive interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and respiratory failure with radiological honeycomb pattern
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
gross appearance of cobblestone pleural surface with firm, rubbery white areas of fibrosis on cut surface
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
irreversible enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole (smoking/ α1-antitrypsin deficiency)
emphysema
form of obstructive lung disease
emphysema
dense fibrosis causes destruction of alveolar architecture and the formation of cystic spaces lined by hyperplastic type II pneumocytes
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
form of chronic diffuse interstitial restrictive disease
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Inhalation of coal particles and dust the causes massive progressive fibrosis with Anthracosis: carbon deposits
coal worker’s pneumoconiosis
Inhalation of pro-inflammatory crystalline silicon dioxide (silica)
silicosis
Most prevalent chronic occupational disease in the world
silicosis
Inhalation of proinflammatory crystalline hydrated silicates (asbestos) that causes diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis
asbestosis
most common manifestation of asbestosis
pleural plaques
gross appearance of hard pale to blackened collagenous scars
silicosis
systemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause that may involve many tissues and organs
sarcoidosis
bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy or parenchymal lung involvement common in this disease
sarcoidosis
Non-necrotizing granulomas, multinucleated giant cells, peripheral lymphocytes in this disease
sarcoidosis
chronic pulmonary and systemic disease; leading cause of death worldwide
tuberculosis
this infection is associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis
HIV
parenchymal lung lesion with nodal involvement in TB
Ghon complex
