What are the two major categories of lower respiratory tract disorders. - ANSWER Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and restrictive pulmonary disease
COPD is caused by airway obstruction which causes.... - ANSWER increased airway resistance of
airflow to lung tissues.
causes a decrease in total lung capacity as a result of fluid accumulation or loss of elasticity of the
lung. - ANSWER Restrictive lung disease
What is the definition of Asthma - ANSWER inflammatory disorder of the airway walls associated
with a varying amount of airway obstruction
When activated by stimuli, the bronchial airways become inflamed and edematous, leading to
constriction of air passages. This process is related to which lower respiratory tract disorder? -
ANSWER Asthma
Chronic bronchitis definition - ANSWER Progressive lung disease caused by smoking or chronic lung
infections
Bronchial inflammation and excessive mucous secretion result in airway obstruction. This process is
related to which lower respiratory tract disorder? - ANSWER Chronic bronchitis

This process is related to which disorder? - ANSWER Bronchiectasis
What may result from the bronchioles becoming obstructed by the breakdown of the epithelium of
the bronchial mucosa? - ANSWER Tissue fibrosis may result
, Exposure to an allergen results in... - ANSWER bronchial hyper-responsiveness, epithelial shedding of
the bronchial wall, mucous gland hyperplasia and hypersecretion, leakage of plasma that leads to

Tiotropium is an anticholinergic drug used for... - ANSWER maintenance treatment of
bronchospasms associated with COPD.

in the fiber and elastin network in the alveoli. - ANSWER Emphysema
