True
What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the airways?
Alveolitis is inflammation of the alveoli.
Pulmonary parenchyma refers to?
Pulmonary parenchyma is the functional tissue of the lungs that is involved in gas exchange, consisting of the alveoli and surrounding structures such as the bronchioles and blood vessels. It is responsible for the oxygenation of blood and removal of carbon dioxide during respiration. Any damage to the pulmonary parenchyma can impair lung function and lead to respiratory problems.
Can you have bronchitis and a cold at the same time?
Yes, you can! Bronchitis can also occur after the flu has passed or is passing, as your alveoli may not be able to get rid of all the germs from the flu and then it may develop into a bacterial infection... bronchitis. You could also contract the diseases separately!
Why is it dangerous for bronchitis damaged your lungs?
Bronchitis usually doesn't damage your lungs; usually why doctors are concerned is because if not treated the infection can spread into the lungs themselves and cause Pneumonia, which can be fatal and permanently damage the lungs.
How would damage to alveoli affect other systems within the body and how the damage would impact an individual?
since the alveoli exchanges gases then the others body parts wouldnt have any the be hard to breath
How do the cells lining the bronchus protect the alveoli from damage?
I think that it protects them because they like swish them about and make them covered by a mucusy layer which then protects them further called bronchilus. this eventully stops any damage at all in the alveoli
Do dust particles damage the lung by covering the surface of the blood vessels next to the alveoli?
no
Are emphysema and bronchitis the same?
No, emphysema and bronchitis are not the same, though both are forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Emphysema primarily involves the destruction of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs, leading to difficulty in exhaling air. In contrast, bronchitis is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes, resulting in increased mucus production and a persistent cough. While they can occur together, they have distinct causes and symptoms.
What are the names of the diseases in the respiratory?
