L2: Resp. Path: Bronchitis, Bronchiolitis, Atelectasis, Emphysema (Castleman) Flashcards
2 main components of bronchi
cartilage (to prevent collapse) and glands
T/F: very small changes in bronchi diameter increases resistance markedly
T
chronic inflammation of bronchi –> dilation or shrinkage?
dilation
role of THICK connective tissue in bronchi
prevents infection spread into surrounding alceolar parenchyma
T/F: ciliated cells are terminally differentiated
T
which cells have capacity for regenerating bronchi epithelium?
mucous cells, basal cells, other nonciliated cells (Clara cells)
Do bronchioles have cartilage or glands?
NO
-patency maintained by interalveolar septa on bronchiolar wall
chronic inflammation –> bronchioles
stenosis of lumen
infection spread in bronchioles vs. bronchi
THIN CT of bronchioles allows spread to surrounding alveoli
Clara cells rich in what enzyme
cytochrome monooxygenase (cytochrome P450)
primary lobule
pulmonary tissue supplied by terminal bronchiole
secondary lobule
composed of many primary lobules. Constitute grossly visible lobules
-cattle have most
components of interalveolar septa
- epithelial cells (type 1 and 2)
- capillary endothelium
- fibroblasts (composed of elastin and collagen)
- macs
chars. of type 1 epithelial cells
- large SA
- susceptible to damage
- incapable of division
- terminally diff.
chars. of type 2 epithelial cells
- cuboidal
- produce surfactant and other mediators**
- effect epithelial repair
- stem cells
- diff. into type 1 cells
Q: Which of the following is NOT a stem cell for epithelial repair in bronchi/bronchioles?
a) mucous cells
b) ciliated cells
c) nonciliated cells
ciliated cells
Q: which serve as stem cells for epithelial repair in the interalveolar septum?
a) type 1
b) type 2
c) mucous cell
type 2
causes of bronchitis and bronchiolitis
- infectious (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic)
- toxic (plant toxins)
- hypersensitivity
functional consequences of bronchitis/iolitis
- inc. airway resistance –> obstruction, ventilation/perfusion abnormality –> hypoxemia
- dec. mucociliary clearance –> 2ary bacterial infection
sequelar of bronchitis/iolits
- resolution/repair
- extend to alveoli –> pneumonia
- chronic localized inflamm. in bronchi –> bronchiectasis or bronchioles –> bronchiolitis obliterans
- post-obstructive atelectasis
bronchiectasis
dilation of bronchi beyond normal physiological limits due to destruction of the bronchial wall
path. of bronchiectasis
1) chronic infection (usually bact.)
2) neut-mediated tissue destruction of glands/cartilage, fibrosis
gross morphology of bronchiectasis
1) airway dilation (saccular or cylindrical)
2) thick wall
3) luminal exudate
fx significance of bronchiectasis
1) inc. airway resistance
2) poor mucociliary clearance
3) aspiration of infective material to alveoli
sequelae of bronchiectasis
- irreversible!
- progression of inflamm. –> continued bronchial damage, pneumonia
bronchiolitis obliterans
obstruction of the bronchiolar lumen by fibrous connective tissue
