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.

How does the presence of moisture help the lungs with gaseous exchange?

Moisture in the lungs helps facilitate gaseous exchange by keeping the alveoli, the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs, hydrated. This moisture forms a thin film around the alveoli, allowing oxygen to dissolve and diffuse more easily across the alveolar membrane into the bloodstream while also aiding in the removal of carbon dioxide. Additionally, the moisture helps maintain the elasticity of lung tissues, promoting efficient breathing and enhancing overall respiratory function.

What is the function of the bronchioles?

The bronchi, or bronchus is where the air entering the lungs are sent to each lung. The bronchioles are smaller airways that send the air on to the inside walls of the lungs where the alveolia allow the oxygen to be absorbed by the blood cells and oxegenate the blood for transfer throughout the body. Any of the fine, thin-walled, tubular extensions of a bronchus is a bronchiole that no longer contain cartilage.

Function: Control of airflow resistance and air distribution in the lungs is controlled by the bronchioles. Any of the fine, thin-walled, tubular extensions of a bronchus is a bronchiole that no longer contain cartilage.
