Does smoking cause lung disease?
Yes and it also has notable effects on the other parts of the respiratory tract as well (leading to the "smoker's cough")
What feature of the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract is responsible for the smokers cough?
Ciliary dysfunction in the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract is responsible for the smoker's cough. Smoking damages the cilia, which are tiny hairs that help to move mucus and debris out of the airways. When cilia are impaired, mucus and irritants accumulate, leading to coughing as the body tries to expel them.
How does smoking prevent the trachea cleaning system from working?
Smoking damages the cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the trachea and respiratory tract, which play a crucial role in clearing mucus and debris. The chemicals in cigarette smoke paralyze and eventually destroy these cilia, impairing their ability to move mucus out of the airways. This leads to a buildup of mucus and pathogens, increasing the risk of infections and respiratory issues. As a result, the natural cleaning mechanism of the trachea is significantly hindered.
Acute lower respiratory tract infection?
Acute= severe. Lower Respiratory Tract= Respiratory system below the larynx. This refers to a pneumonia or a bronchitis.
Where does the breathing begin?
The respiratory tract consists of organs and tissues such as the nose, pharynx, bronchi, trachea and alveoli. The respiratory tract starts at the nose.
Are these parts of the lower respiratory tract?
To determine if specific parts are part of the lower respiratory tract, you would typically consider structures such as the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. In contrast, the upper respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity, and pharynx. If you provide specific parts, I can clarify if they belong to the lower respiratory tract.
What is the main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract?
The main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract is Immunoglobulin A (IgA). It plays a crucial role in defending against pathogens that enter through the respiratory mucosa by neutralizing and preventing their attachment to the mucosal surface.
What is the medical term meaning stale air in the respiratory tract?
The residual volume is the portion of air in the respiratory tract that cannot be exhaled.
