He underwent an open-lung biopsy and attempt to delineate the etiology of his pulmonary situation‚ and this was reported as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and alveolitis. The specimen was sent to the Mayo Clinic Pathology department for further evaluation‚ and they were able

(CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE) EMPHYSEMA -is a condition of the lung characterized by abnormal‚ permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole‚ accompanied by destruction of their walls. This over-inflation results from a breakdown of the walls of the alveoli‚ which causes a decrease in respiratory function and breathlessness. In emphysema‚ the lungs loose elasticity and are unable to fully expand and contract. This occurs because the air sacs

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
