No, diverticulosis occurs when mucosa become inflamed in the colon (large intenstine). Diverticulitis occurs when mucosa become inflamed in the small intestine.
The condition is called intussusception. It occurs when one segment of the bowel slides into the adjacent segment, causing obstruction and potential complications like tissue damage or reduced blood flow to the affected area. Immediate medical attention is necessary to diagnose and treat intussusception.
The condition is called hemorrhoids. It occurs when the blood vessels in the anal canal become swollen or inflamed, leading to symptoms such as pain, itching, and bleeding during bowel movements.
The smallest branches of the bronchial tree in a cat are bronchioles.
Yes, bronchial tubes are larger in diameter compared to bronchioles. Bronchial tubes are the main airways in the respiratory system that branch off into bronchioles, which are smaller airways that lead to the alveoli in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
In bronchiectasis, the dilation of the bronchial tree occurs distal to the obstruction. The obstruction can lead to persistent infection and inflammation, causing irreversible damage and widening of the bronchi.
The simple way to understand about the mechanism of asthma is it makes you feel hard to breathe and occurs when the air flow in your lung is obstructed.
To completely block any air from entering the respiratory system, the trachea (windpipe) would need to be obstructed. This would prevent air from reaching the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Additionally, blockage of the bronchial tubes leading into the lungs would also prevent air from entering the respiratory system.
The sound is called a stridor (high pitched wheezing). See related link. The answer is rhonchus or rhonchi, which is loud rumbling sounds heard on auscultation (during inhalation) of bronchi obstructed by sputum.

Appendictis occurs when there is a blockage of the appendix lumen. When this blockage occurs, the appendix becomes inflamed, and can become infected. If this continues to the point of rupture, and the appendix bursts, peritonitis can occur.
After passing through the larynx, air moves through the trachea, which then branches into the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes further branch into smaller airways called bronchioles, which ultimately lead to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs in the lungs.
