conditions that affect the breathing system and can range from a mild common cold to more severe lung cancer. These disorders can be classified in many ways‚ one of which is a group called chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Included in that group is a disease called emphysema. “Respiratory Disorders” Emphysema is an irreversible‚ progressive disease that gradually damages the air sacs in the lungs causing shortness of breath. In people with emphysema‚ the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and

Which ECM proteins have been found to be found in less amounts (or even damaged) in decellularized lung tissue? What might be the consequence of such alterations from normal tissue? Collagen Type I‚ IV‚ elastin and‚ fibronectin. With the alteration of the normal tissues the lung could lack key qualities that allow the lung to complete its function. 3. Which cells/cell lines have

Snails that respire using a lung belong to the group Pulmonata‚ while those with gills form a polyphyletic group; in other words‚ snails with gills form a number of taxonomic groups that are not necessarily more closely related to each other than they are related to some other groups. Both snails that have lungs and snails that have gills have diversified so widely over geological time that a few species with gills can be found on land and numerous species with lungs can be found in freshwater.

the release of mediators such as proteases which in turn damage the large airway causing bronchial dilation. This further causes impaired mucus secretion which obstructs the airway due to retention of secretions. Inflammatory scarring replaces the lung functioning and causes bronchiectasis. The inflammation may spread beyond the airways and may cause interstitial pneumonia. The cells which cause inflammation in bronchiectasis are neutrophils‚ lymphocytes‚

thickness results in an obstruction in most airway diseases‚ and can be more pronounced in asthma. This is due to overdeveloped mucus glands‚ airway thickening due to scarring and inflammation and bronchoconstriction‚ the narrowing of the airways in the lungs due to the tightening of the surrounding smooth muscle. Bronchial inflammation also causes naroowing due to edema and swelling caused by an immune respsonse to allergens. A bronchial spasm as a result can be caused from a variety of stimuli and can

These will all determine the definite diagnosis‚ along with the size of the heart‚ how much blood is going to the lungs‚ and show the enlarged left ventricle. A VSD can be detected by cardiac auscultation. A VSD can be silent if there is not much pressure difference between the ventricles and will not be very
