lung pathologies Flashcards
glossopharyngeal breathing
breathing without using diaphragm or intercostal muscles, needs a lot of work
pneumothorax
collapsed lung, air between membranes
viscelaris membrane
damage from inside, caused by genetics or disease
parietalis membrane
damage from outside, by trauma or operation
atelectasis
lung collapse, can also be because of obstruction
alveolar type 1
smaller chunk of cells
alveolar type 2
bigger group of cells, do cell repair (stem cells)
infant respiratory distress syndrome
alveoli collapse because of no surfactant present
adult respiratory distress syndrome
caused by damage to the alveoli which can be caused by chemicals or infection
bronchiectasis
severe consequence of some infecetions causing permanent dilation of airways
bronchiolitis obliterans
loss of bronchioles through fibrosis
cytokine storm
many cytokines are present to fight the virus, can cause multi-organ failure
restrictive disease
difficult inhaling due to difficulty expanding the lungs
obstructive diseases
difficult exhaling due to increased airway resistance
asthma
chronic inflammation of the airways, thickened airway wall filled with immune cells
atopy
says something about the risk of becoming allergic. it is the inability to form IgE against harmless compounds
status asthmaticus
acute bronchoconstriction that does not respond to therapy
chronic bronchitis
inflammation of the airways with a lot of mucus where bacteria can grow
emphysema
degredation of lung tissue and alveoli get damaged, less surface for gas exchange, causes hyperinflation
lung attack (exacerbation)
cannot be predicted, very fast, often deadly
pneumoconiosis
lung disease caused by inhalation of dust
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
more in males, clubbing of fingers
small cell carcinoma
in bigger airways, very poor prognosis
non-small cell carcinoma
surgical treatment
