What is chronic apical pulmonary fibrosis?

Chronic means constant. Apical means relating to. Pulmonary means of the lungs. Fibrosis means the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue. So it means constant formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.


What hormone is responsible for apical dominance?

The hormone responsible for apical dominance in plants is auxin. Auxin is produced primarily in the shoot apical meristem and it inhibits the growth of lateral buds, promoting the dominance of the apical meristem in controlling the plant's growth.


What causes apical dominance?

Apical buds are those located at the end of stems; lateral buds are located in the leaf axils along the length of the stems. Apical dominance occurs when a branch tends to get longer and longer without sending off branching shoots. This occurs because of a substance called auxin which is produced in the apical buds and which inhibits growth of stems from the lateral buds.


How is the shoot apical meristem different from the root apical meristem?

The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap


What cells undergo multiple divisions for apical growth or the growth at the tips of stems?

Meristem cells undergo multiple divisions for apical growth at the tips of stems. These cells are found in the shoot apical meristem and root apical meristem of plants, and continuously produce new cells for growth and development.

What is apical pleural scarring?

Apical pleural scarring refers to the formation of scar tissue on the pleura, the membrane that lines the lungs. It commonly occurs at the apex (top) of the lungs and can result from various conditions like infections, inflammation, or exposure to toxins. This scarring can restrict lung expansion, leading to breathing difficulties.

What does focal apical fibrosis mean?

Ths term is usually used in interpretation of chest x-ray examination. It means irregular, thickened lines at the uppermost part of your lung, like a scar, caused by chronic reaction for some inflammation or infection. In my place it is mostly caused by tuberculosis.


Chronic apical pulmonary fibrosis with multifocal atelectasis -what does this finding mean and should it be treated?

Pulmonary fibrosis is scarring of the lung. Apical means the finding was at the top peak of the lung. Chronic indicates long-standing. Atlectasis means areas of the lung that are not inflating, and multifocal means that it's present in multiple areas. So, to sum up, there is lung standing lung scarring at the peak of the lung with multiple areas that aren't getting air. The finding can be caused by toxic exposures, connective tissue disease, or infectious disease, and any treatment will be based on the underlying cause. The phrase indicates a radiologic finding, not a diagnosis.
