114
Q

Chloride roll?

A

decrease viscosity of mucus

that is supposed to be secreted into lumen

115
Q

thicken mucus -

A

neutrophils can’t move because of thick mucus layer, bacteria proliferates!

116
Q

Elastaste and emphysema

A

normal -

elastic fibers in interalveolar space -

macrophages increased

neutrophils release elastase to degrade elastic fibers

but in alpha 1 antitrypsin in liver - neutralizes elastase - prevents destrcution of elastic fibers

117
Q

BUT if neutrophils and macrophages are too many

A

too much elastase released - degrading elastic fibers - especially if already decrease in alpha 1 antitrypsin levels decreased !

so Elastic fibers decreased -

leads to emphysema

can’t recoil

SO air space grows - SMOKING

118

Contraction decreases lumen

126
Q

What does vein from lung have?

A

127
Q

What structures pass through the hilum of the lung?

A

The hilum of the lung is the point of entry for the root of the lung, which includes the bronchi, the pulmonary arteries, and the pulmonary veins. A pleural sleeve is created around these structures, where the pleura reflects, changing from visceral to parietal.

128
Q

two types of arteries in lungs?

A

pulmonary - deoxyg blood

bronchial - oxyg blood to lung tissue, etc

Both left and right bronchial arteries usually travel behind the trachea and main-stem bronchi before entering the lung via the hila

129
Q

Where do bronchial arteries drain?

A

Bronchial vessels usually originate from the aorta or intercostal arteries, entering the lung at the hilum, branching at the mainstem bronchus to supply the lower trachea, extrapulmonary airways, and supporting structures; this fraction of the bronchial vasculature drains into the right heart via systemic veins.

A

continuous, with many pinocytitic vesicles

tight junctions

133
Q

type 2 - where store surfactant?

A

lamellaar bodies

134
Q

where see mast cells?

A

DUST cells - if pick up too much bad stuff, can fibrose -

- silicosis

135
Q

where see mast cells?

dust cells - ruffled, lying under the surfactant

A

DUST cells - if pick up too much silica, can fibrose -
- silicosis -

release chemical alveolitis - which creates fibrosis of lungs

136
Q

Hyaline membrane disease in infants?

A

not enough surfactact - week 35,

respiratory distress syndrome -

fibrin type of hyalin released by newborns - hence hyaline membrane disease

137
Q

where do dust cells go when have antigen to report to T cells?

A

through bronchi, to upper airway psarynx (via cilia) where they are swallowed in saliva~~~

138
Q

congestive heart failure?

alveolar macrophage

A

lungs become congested with blood - RBC pass into alveola - where phagocytosed by macrophages - “heart failure cells) when present in lungs and sputum

high pulmonary pressure pushes RBCs through wall

139
Q

disorders of tracheobronchila tree?

A

mucosa can die if damaged by chemical agent, virus, bacteria

turns into squamous epithelium -

repeated damage - chronic bronchitis -

bronchila

140
Q

disorders of tracheobronchila tree?

A

mucosa can die if damaged by chemical agent, virus, bacteria

turns into squamous epithelium -

repeated damage - chronic bronchitis -

bronchial wall thickens - by increase in numbers and activity of seromucous glands - thickening muscle layer - commonly associated with ASTHMA -

severe bronchoconstriction due to bronchial smooth muscle contrcaiont and production of mucus - and EMPHYSEM - where alveloar walls are destroyed -

combo of all three - chronic obstruction pulmonary disease

141
Q

What is COPD - 3

A

chronic bronchitis (bronchial wall thickens)

asthma (bronchoconstrictuion)

emphysema (alveolar walls are destroyed

142
Q

charcot leyden crystals

A

Charcot–Leyden crystals are microscopic crystals composed of eosinophil protein galectin-10 found in people who have allergic diseases such as asthma or parasitic infections such as parasitic pneumonia or ascariasis.

143
Q

asthma - what happens?

A

inhale allergen

IgE receptors on MAST cells - degranulation, histamines chemoattraction of EOSINOPHILS

increased permeability of blood vessels, smooth muscle constrcition, hyper secretion of mucus by goblet cells

Th2 cells secrete IL 13 - airway tightening and ups mucus production, TH@ cells secrete IL 5 - essential for maturation of eoisinphils

inflammatory cells and Chacot- Leyden crystals

144
Q

asthma causes changes in lungs

A

medium airways - mucous cell hyperplasia an hyper secretion, smooth muscles increase

increased vascularity

deposition of subepithelial collagen

145
Q

Emphysema - chronic lung disease

neutrophils come to fix problem, release elastase - too much and antitrypsin is overwhelmed, elastase takes over and destroys elasticity of alveloa

A

enlarged air space in brochiloles with destructin of interalveolar wall - SMOKING

smoking or other stimulus - increases macrophages, which secrete chemoattractants calling for neutorphils, which come and release elastase - serum ANTITRYPSIN neutralizes elastase and prevents it destructive oeffect on wall

persistent stiumulus of neutrophils and macrophages =

eventually antitrypsin levels decrease and elastase destroys elastic fibers - damaged fibers can’t recoil when stretched -

146
Q

what does chronic smoking do to respiratory lining?

A

changes it into stratified squamous - the initial step
