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 formation of scar tissue on the connective tissue of the lungs?
Scar tissue formation in the lungs, known as pulmonary fibrosis, occurs when the lung tissue becomes damaged and is replaced by fibrous connective tissue. This process can result from various factors, including chronic inflammation, infections, environmental exposures, or autoimmune diseases. The excessive deposition of collagen and other extracellular matrix components leads to thickening and stiffening of the lung tissue, impairing its ability to function properly and reducing oxygen exchange. Over time, this can lead to progressive respiratory issues and reduced lung capacity.
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.
What is the role of connective tissue in the lungs?
Connective tissue in the lungs provides structural support and elasticity, allowing the lungs to expand and contract during breathing. It forms the framework that holds the airways, blood vessels, and alveoli together. Additionally, connective tissue helps in maintaining the integrity of the lung architecture and plays a role in the repair processes following injury or inflammation. Overall, it is essential for both function and protection of lung tissue.
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.
