Asthma - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-Chronic disease due
to bronchoconstriction and an excessive
inflammatory response in the bronchioles
What are 5 s/s of asthma - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-
coughing
wheezing
shortness of breath
rapid breathing
,chest tightness
Pathophysiology of asthma (5) - ✔✔ANSWER
✔✔--airway inflammation, bronchial hyper-
reactivity and smooth muscle spasm
-excess mucus production and accumulation
-hypertrophy of bronchial smooth muscle
-airflow obstruction
-decreased alveolar ventilation
Bronchioles - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-smaller
passageways that originate from the bronchi
that become the alveoli
3 layers of the bronchioles - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-
innermost layer
middle layer - lamina propria
,outermost layer
lamina propria - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-the middle
layer of the bronchioles
structure of the lamina propria - ✔✔ANSWER
✔✔-embedded with connective tissue cells and
immune cells
purpose of the lamina propria - ✔✔ANSWER
✔✔-white blood cells are present to help
protect the airways
How does the lamina propria effect the lungs in
regards to asthma - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-the WBCs
protective feature goes into overdrive causing
, an inflammatory response that damages host
tissue
What does the innermost layer of the
bronchioles contain - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-
columnar epithelial ells and mucus producing
goblet cells
What does the outermost layer of the
bronchioles contain - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-smooth
muscle cells
what does the outermost layer of the
bronchioles do - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-control the
airways ability to constrict and dilate
alveolar hyperinflation - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-
When air is unable to move out of the alveolar
