What is the name of the condition of which there is an innflammation of the bronchial walls?
chronic bronchitis
What are the bronchial walls made up of?
Bronchial walls are mostly made of epithelial tissue and hyaline cartilage.
What is the effects of bronchial-dialators on a human?
ANSWER:Inhalers use albuterol or another bronchial dialator to make the walls of the lungs expand, therefore exposing more alveoli to the incoming air. This is what asthma patients need for their attacks.
What is redundant sigmoid colon?
Following prelonged dilation of the sigmoid colon the walls of the bowel become lax and the muscle fibres within lose there ability to contract. thus the peristaltic function of the bowel is lost, often leading to chronic constipation and propendity to volvulus.
What does bronchial mean?
The term "bronchial" refers to the larger airways within the lungs, called the bronchi or bronchial tubes. These tubes branch off into the smaller airways that contain the alveoli, or air sacs.Bronchial conditions (such as asthma) prevent sufficient airflow through the tubes, either through inflammation, edema, or adhesion of the tube walls.
Blood vessels are what type of muscles?
The walls of blood vessels have smooth muscle, which allow contraction and dilation (for example, in response to temperature changes.
The diameter of bronchioles can change because their walls contain?
Smooth Muscle tissue relaxation and contraction is responsible for dilation and constrictions of the bronchioles, respectively.
What makes the wall of the trachea rigid?
The walls of the trachea are made rigid by the presence of rings of cartilage. These rings extend from the larynx to the bronchial tubes.
What are interesting facts about asthma?
The interesting facts are: 1.Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the lung's airways. 2.The disease constricts bronchial walls and causes mucous production which, in turn, obstructs airways. 3.Asthma attacks are usually temporary and can be eased with medication, yet, there is no cure. 4.Nevertheless, medication can help to control symptoms in the long term.
What diseases can occur in the breathing system?
Asthma - constriction of hypersensitive airways;Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) - lung disease causing shortness of breath;Chronic Bronchitis - inflammation and permanent scarring of the bronchial tubesEmphysema - damage to air sacs walls causing loss of elasticity;Pleurisy - inflammation of the pleural membrane lining lungs and the chest cavity;Lung Cancer - malignant tumors that develop in lung tissueAcute Bronchitis - inflammation of the bronchial tubes;Influenza - serious infection cause by the influenza virus;Pneumonia - infection of the lungs caused by a virus or bacteria;Sinusitis - inflammation of the sinus cavities;Common Cold - infection caused by a virus;Cystic Fibrosis - the production of abnormally viscous mucus by the affected glands, usually resulting in chronic respiratory infections and impaired pancreatic function.
