Yes.
Acutely from burns and/or smoke inhalation OR from explosive shock.
(Note - all these can kill you immediately, before scaring occurs. But if you look like you're getting better and then you die, it may well be from the scaring.)
Chronically from an accumulation of micro scars (usually from smoking cigarettes) which is clinically diagnosed as emphsema.

Where is connective tissue in the lungs?
elastic connective tissue is found in the lungs. The tissue is able to extend when forces are applied to stretch it, yet returned undamaged to its previous condition when the force is released.
Type of tiisue in the lungs?
The type of tissue in the lungs is mostly epithelial. The other tissue is connective, and some of this is blood, which is a liquid connective tissue.
What tissue with the exception of the stroma of the lungs?
Connective Tissue
What is alveolar connective tissue?
Alveolar connective tissue is a type of loose connective tissue found in the alveoli of the lungs. It provides support and structure to the alveoli, which are responsible for gas exchange in the lungs. Additionally, alveolar connective tissue contains capillaries that facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream.
Name four types of tissue that can be found in your lungs?
1. Muscle 2. connective tissues expand and contract the lungs. 3. Nervous tissue sends and receives messages that help regulate gas exchange in the lungs and the rate at which a person breathes. 4. Epithelial tissue forms the inner lining of the lungs.
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 kind of tissue makes up the stroma of the lungs?
the stroma is a bed of elastic connective tissue
What is commonly destroyed by active tuberculosis?
Fibrous Connective Tissue in the Lungs
What is the name is the tissue that allows expansion of the lungs arteries and urinary bladder also is in the same category as the adipose tissue?
The tissue that allows for the expansion of the lungs, arteries, and urinary bladder is called elastic connective tissue. This type of tissue is characterized by its ability to stretch and recoil, providing flexibility and support. Elastic connective tissue is categorized alongside adipose tissue as a form of connective tissue, though they serve different functions in the body.
Do the lungs contains elastic muscle tissue to permit inhalation?
It actually contains smooth muscle tissue, and alveolar connective tissue. This connective tissue contains collagen fibers for flexibility and strength, and numerous elastic fibers that enable it to be stretched. Alveolar connective tissue is found in the skin and in most internal organs of vertebrates, where it allows the organs to expand, which is essential for the lungs.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal growth of connective tissue in the lungs that may result as a side effect of radiation?
The medical term for abnormal growth of connective tissue in the lungs that may occur as a side effect of radiation therapy is radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis. This condition can cause scarring of the lung tissue, leading to breathing difficulties and decreased lung function. Treatments may include medications to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
What type of fibrosis causes lumps?
Lumps in tissues can be caused by several types of fibrosis, but one common type is desmoplastic fibrosis, often associated with tumors. This condition leads to the formation of dense connective tissue, resulting in palpable lumps. Another example is cystic fibrosis, which can lead to the formation of fibrous tissue in organs like the lungs, although it typically presents more complex symptoms than just lumps. Overall, fibrosis can result in abnormal tissue growth, leading to lump formation in affected areas.
