Saroj 1 Flashcards
which bronchi is more susceptible to aspiration
right main stem due to vertical orientation
What does bronchioles not have
cartilage
submucosal glands
what is pathway for air
bronchi
bronchioles
terminal bronchioles
acinus
What does Acinus contain
respiratory bronchioles –> alveolar ducts –> alveolar sacs
almost entire respiratory tree is lined by what? exceptions?
ciliated pseudostratified tall columnar epithelium
- vocal cord: stratified squamous epithelium
what are 2 types of alveolar epithelium
Type I pneumocytes: alveolar surface majority
Type II pneumocytes: surfactant and repair
what supplies the lung
pulmonary and bronchial arteries
nasal clearnce
sneezing or blowing
tracheobronchial clearance
epithelial mucociliary action
alveolar clearance
phagocytosis in alveolar macrophages
how can alcohol and smoking impact clearance mechanism
interfere with phagocytic action of alveolar macrophages
what is restrictive pulmonary disease
reduced expansion of lung parenchyma
what numbers are impacted for restrictive pulmonary disease
decreased total lung capacity
normal FEV1
what are 2 categories for restrictive disease
- chest wall disorder with normal lungs
2. acute or chronic interstitial and infiltrative
define diffuse interstistial disease
inflammation and fibrosis of lung connective tissue or delicate alveolar septal interstitium
what is decreased in diffuse interstitial disease
diffusion capacity
lung volumes
compliance
clinical features of diffuse interstitial disease
dyspnea
tachypnea
cyanosis
what do advanced lesions on diffuse interstitial look like
honeycomb lung
name 2 granulomatous diseases
Sarcoidosis
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the same thing as
UIP
usual interstitial pneumonia
what is a probable cause for IPF UIP
- repeated cycles of epithelial activation/injury
- fibroblastic/myofibroblastic proliferation = FIBROBLASTIC FOCI
What is a probable genetic cause of IPF and UIP
TERT and TERC gene
telomerase
What is a second mechanism of pathogenesis for IPF UIP
- caveolin 1 inhibits TGF- beta1
decreased caveiolin-1 in IPF
- abnormal repair
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis usually occurs where in the lung
subpleural regions in lower lobes
microscopically what do you see in Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF
- fibroblastic foci initially
- later dense fibrosis and cystic spaces - HONEYCOMB
- abrupt transition between fibrosis and normal lung
- temporal heterogeneity
later clinical features of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
cyanosis and clubbing
