What are the two major categories of lower respiratory tract disorders. - <Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and restrictive pulmonary disease
COPD is caused by airway obstruction which causes.... - <increased airway resistance
of airflow to lung tissues.
causes a decrease in total lung capacity as a result of fluid accumulation or loss of
elasticity of the lung. - <Restrictive lung disease
What is the definition of Asthma - <inflammatory disorder of the airway walls associated
with a varying amount of airway obstruction
When activated by stimuli, the bronchial airways become inflamed and edematous,
leading to constriction of air passages. This process is related to which lower respiratory
tract disorder? - <Asthma
Chronic bronchitis definition - <Progressive lung disease caused by smoking or chronic
lung infections
Bronchial inflammation and excessive mucous secretion result in airway obstruction.
This process is related to which lower respiratory tract disorder? - <Chronic bronchitis
The bronchioles become obstructed by the breakdown of the epithelium of the bronchial
mucosa. This process is related to which disorder? - <Bronchiectasis
What may result from the bronchioles becoming obstructed by the breakdown of the
epithelium of the bronchial mucosa? - <Tissue fibrosis may result
Progressive lung disease where the terminal bronchioles become plugged with mucus,
causing a loss in the fiber and elastin network in the alveoli. - <Emphysema
What is the most common risk factor for COPD, especially with chronic bronchitis and
emphysema? - <Cigarette smoking
Medications frequently prescribed for COPD include: - <bronchodilators,
glucocorticoids, leukotriene modifiers, expectorants, and antibiotics.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease characterized by periods of bronchospasm
resulting in wheezing and difficulty breathing. - <Bronchial Asthma
Results when the lung tissue is exposed to extrinsic or intrinsic factors that stimulate a
bronchoconstrictive response. - <Bronchospasm
Cells found in connective tissue throughout the body are directly involved in the
asthmatic response, particularly to extrinsic factors. - <Mast cells
(Allergens attach themselves to mast cells and basophils, resulting in an antigen-
antibody reaction on the mast cells in the lung; the mast cells stimulate the release of
chemical mediators such as histamines, cytokines, serotonin, eosinophil chemotactic
factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A), and leukotrienes)
Exposure to an allergen results in... - <bronchial hyper-responsiveness, epithelial
shedding of the bronchial wall, mucous gland hyperplasia and hypersecretion, leakage
of plasma that leads to swelling, and bronchoconstriction
