|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This cell type is 80% of terminal bronchioles and it secretes surficant to prevent luminal adherence causing bronchiolar collapse. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A common, shared opening between alveolar sacs. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| very thin cells in the alveoli that allow gas diffusion. |
|
Definition
| small epithelial cells (pneumocyte type I) |
|
|
Term
| Produces a non-protein surficant in alveoli allowing them to expand against a reduced surface tension. |
|
Definition
| Great alveolar cells (pneumocyte type II) |
|
|
Term
| Structures in type II pneumocytes that hold and eventually release surfactant. |
|

|
|
Term
| A premature infant has great difficulty breathing. What is the reason? |
|
Definition
| Surficant is produced late in gestation; suffering from infant respiratory distress as a result. |
|
|
Term
| A common cause of adult respiratory distress. |
|
Definition
| Lung capillaries leaking due to pulmonary edema often seen in CHF. |
|
|
Term
| Phagocytes of the respiratory system that originate from monocytes. |

Definition
Dust cells
NOTE: Dust cells in smokers have lots of residual bodies; vaccules in them that do not digest. |
|
|
Term
| A disorder caused by progressive decreased elasticity and destroyed alveolar sacs. Also increased mucus and inflammation which can cause obstructions. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Disease caused by increased mucus and inflammation which can cause obstructions. |
|
Definition
| Chronic obstructive bronchitis (a part of COPD) |
|
|
Term
| Disease caused by alveoli losing their shape, becoming to large and generally appearing floppy and unable to efficiently perform gas exchange. Alveoli are ultimately destroyed. |
|
Definition
| Emphysema (a part of COPD) |
|
|
Term
| A disease caused by many pathogens characterized by lots of RBCS, WBCs and fibrin in alveoli, engorged capillaries, hepatization, and decreased gas exchange. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Disease of thick mucus production which causes obstructions. The etiology is a dysfunctional Cl- transporter. |
