Homeostatic imbalances Flashcards
Pneumonia
-infection of the alveoli caused by bacteria or virus
-fluid accumulation in alveoli
-decrease in SA for gas exchange
-Inhibits intake of 02 and removal of CO2 from blood
Cystic Fibrosis
-RESTRICTIVE lung disease
-caused by a defective gene that causes increase of mucus production in lungs and pancreas
-clogs up airways which will create a breeding ground for pathogens
-no cure, life expetency getting higher though
Asthma
-OBSTRUCTIVE lung disease
-inflammatory constriction of the bronchi and broncioles that inhibit airflow into and out of the lungs
-can be triggered by many things like smoke and allergens
Emphysema
-OBSTRUVTIVE lung disease
-degredation of areolior epithilium
-reduces SA for gas exchange
-cause=proteloytic enzyme
-added strain can lead to heart failure
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD)
1 CAUSE IS SMOKING!!!
combo of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
Chronic bronchitis:
air passages get closed with muscus which leads to a caugh. smoking causes!!
Obstructive=
flow rate is limitied
restrictive
lung capacity is limited
cystic fibrosis
