The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes or abundant it triggers the cough reflex. C. There are macrophages found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli that normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious

Acute bronchitis often occurs during the course of an acute viral illness such as the common

Many smokers will start to develop a cough‚ known as a “smoker’s cough” .This is due to their lungs becoming damaged. The nicotine in cigarettes will also start to damage healthy cells.

as one of the two forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which can be very devastating. During the beginning stages of chronic bronchitis‚ slight coughing may be seen in the morning and as the disease progresses the individual may cough all throughout the day. This homeostatic imbalance causes a build up of excess mucus which in turn causes shortness of breath due to less airflow. Signs of excessive coughing can be seen also some may even see some blood in the mucus. The airway passages

Choice "C" is the best answer. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a disease where abnormal smooth muscle proliferation leads to progressive cystic destruction of the lungs. There is progressive decline of respiratory function with a typically obstructive pattern due to destruction of bronchioles. It is also characterized by pneumothorax and chylothorax due to obstruction of lymphatics. Multiple cysts are also typically present throughout the lungs‚ though this is often only evident on CT.

to excess mucus production and poorly functioning cilia‚ a combination that makes airway clearance especially difficult. When people with COPD can’t clear their secretions‚ they develop the hallmark symptoms of COPD‚ including a chronic‚ productive cough‚ wheezing and dyspnea. Finally‚ the build-up of mucus attracts a host of bacteria that thrive and multiply in the warm‚ moist environment of the airway and lungs. The end result is further inflammation‚ the formation of diverticula (pouch-like sacs)
