NR 507: Advanced Pathophysiology Midterm
Questions And Answers Latest Update
Asthma ANS✔✔ Chronic disease due to bronchoconstriction and an
excessive inflammatory response in the bronchioles
What are 5 s/s of asthma ANS✔✔ coughing
wheezing
shortness of breath
rapid breathing
chest tightness
Pathophysiology of asthma (5) ANS✔✔ -airway inflammation, bronchial
hyper-reactivity and smooth muscle spasm
-excess mucus production and accumulation
-hypertrophy of bronchial smooth muscle
-airflow obstruction
-decreased alveolar ventilation
Bronchioles ANS✔✔ smaller passageways that originate from the bronchi
that become the alveoli
3 layers of the bronchioles ANS✔✔ innermost layer
middle layer - lamina propria
, Solution 2024/2025
Pepper
outermost layer
lamina propria ANS✔✔ the middle layer of the bronchioles
structure of the lamina propria ANS✔✔ embedded with connective tissue
cells and immune cells
purpose of the lamina propria ANS✔✔ white blood cells are present to help
protect the airways
How does the lamina propria effect the lungs in regards to asthma ANS✔✔
the WBCs protective feature goes into overdrive causing an inflammatory
response that damages host tissue
What does the innermost layer of the bronchioles contain ANS✔✔ columnar
epithelial ells and mucus producing goblet cells
What does the outermost layer of the bronchioles contain ANS✔✔ smooth
muscle cells
what does the outermost layer of the bronchioles do ANS✔✔ control the
airways ability to constrict and dilate
alveolar hyperinflation ANS✔✔ When air is unable to move out of the
alveolar like it should due to bronchial walls collapsing around possible
mucus plug thus trapping air inside

Pepper
how does hyperinflation occur? ANS✔✔ the ongoing inflammatory process of
asthma produces mucus and pus plug that the bronchial walls collapse
around
Effect of hyperinflation of the alveolar ANS✔✔ -expanded thorax and
hypercapnia (retention of CO2)
- respiratory acidosis
What are two anticholinergic drugs used for asthma ANS✔✔ tiotropium and
ipratropium
What do anticholinergics do in the lungs? ANS✔✔ These drugs block the
effects of the parasympathetic nervous system
- increasing bronchodilation
MOA of anticholinergic drugs for asthma ANS✔✔ the parasympathetic
system is stimulated by the vagal nerve to release acetylcholine which
binds to the cholinergic receptors of the respiratory tract to cause bronchial
constriction = decreased airflow
- blocking the cholinergic receptors prevents acetylcholine binding
preventing the bronchial constriction
bronchitis ANS✔✔ inflammation of the bronchial tubes
3 characteristics of bronchitis ANS✔✔ bronchial inflammation
hypersecretion of mucus
