Q

Pathology of cough

A

Irritation of lungs- stretch receptors get activated-vagus nerve takes the impulse (sensory) to cough Center in the brain-motor nerve takes it from brain to muscles: diaphragm and respiratory muscles

Q

Moa of action of expectorants and types

A

Bronchus -> mucus->expel as sputum.
Rx for productive cough. Mc infection.

Mucolytic:
Mucus gets liquified by breaking disulphide bonds

A: Ambroxol
N: N-acetylcysteine

Mucokinetic- increased ciliary movements
Guaiphenesin
