Question 1

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Distal airway and alveolar weakening

Accepted Answer

Asthma is primarily characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, not by distal airway and alveolar weakening.

Question 2

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Excessive bronchial secretions

Accepted Answer

Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the airways, which leads to airway hyperresponsiveness and bronchoconstriction. Excessive bronchial secretions or mucus production is a common feature of asthma, contributing to airway obstruction and difficulty breathing.

Question 3

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Chronic dilation and distortion of bronchial airway

Accepted Answer

Chronic dilation and distortion of bronchial airway is not a major anatomic alteration associated with asthma; it is more characteristic of bronchiectasis. Asthma is primarily associated with reversible airway obstruction, inflammation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness.

Question 4

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Interstitial edema

Accepted Answer

Asthma is primarily characterized by airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production, not interstitial edema.

Question 5

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Compression of great vessels and decreased cardiac return

Accepted Answer

The major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma include bronchospasm (constriction of smooth muscle in the airways), inflammation (swelling of the airways), and mucus production. Compression of great vessels and decreased cardiac return are not typically associated with asthma.

Question 6

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Pulmonary capillary congestion

Accepted Answer

Pulmonary capillary congestion is not a major anatomic alteration associated with asthma. Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production, not by pulmonary capillary congestion.

Question 7

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Granulomas

Accepted Answer

Granulomas are not typically associated with asthma; they are more commonly associated with conditions like tuberculosis or sarcoidosis. Asthma is characterized by inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and increased mucus production in the airways.

Question 8

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Atelectasis (severe s)

Accepted Answer

Atelectasis is a major anatomic alteration associated with asthma. Atelectasis refers to the collapse of a part or all of a lung, resulting in impaired gas exchange and decreased lung function. In asthma, atelectasis can occur as a result of airway obstruction caused by inflammation, mucus, and bronchospasm.

Question 9

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Destruction of pulmonary capillaries

Accepted Answer

Asthma is characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, not by the destruction of pulmonary capillaries.

Question 10

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Honeycombing

Accepted Answer

Honeycombing is not associated with asthma. The major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma include airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and mucus production.

Question 11

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Alveolar hyperinflation (air-trapping)

Accepted Answer

Alveolar hyperinflation or air-trapping is a major anatomic alteration of the lungs associated with asthma. In asthma, airways become narrowed due to inflammation and increased mucus production. The narrowed airways make it difficult to breathe out fully, which leads to air trapping in the alveoli, causing hyperinflation of the lungs. This results in chest tightness, shortness of breath, and wheezing, which are typical symptoms of asthma.

Question 12

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Trachea shift

Accepted Answer

Asthma is characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, but it does not typically cause a tracheal shift. Tracheal shift is more commonly associated with conditions like pneumothorax or large pleural effusions.

Question 13

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Hyaline membrane formation

Accepted Answer

Hyaline membrane formation is not typically associated with asthma; it is more commonly seen in conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Question 14

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Bronchospasm (smooth muscle constriction of bronchial airways)

Accepted Answer

Bronchospasm, or the constriction of bronchial smooth muscle, occurs in the airways of individuals with asthma, leading to narrowing of the air passages and difficulty breathing. This is a major anatomic alteration associated with asthma.

Question 15

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Frothy white (or pink) bubblelike bronchial secretions

Accepted Answer

Frothy white (or pink) bubblelike bronchial secretions are not typically associated with asthma. They are more commonly seen in conditions like pulmonary edema. Asthma is characterized by inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production, but not frothy secretions.

Question 16

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Fibrotic thickening of the alveoli (parenchymal fibrosis)

Accepted Answer

Fibrotic thickening of the alveoli is not a major anatomic alteration associated with asthma. The major alterations are airway inflammation, mucous production, and bronchoconstriction.

Question 17

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Alveolar consolidation

Accepted Answer

Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production, but not alveolar consolidation, which is more typical of conditions like pneumonia.

Question 18

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Mucus plugging

Accepted Answer

Mucus plugging is a major anatomic alteration of the lungs associated with asthma. It occurs when excessive mucus production blocks the airways, leading to breathing difficulties.

Question 19

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Chronic inflammation and swelling of airways

Accepted Answer

The answer of MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the...

Question 20

MATCHING
Identify the major anatomic alterations of the lungs associated with asthma.
-Permanent enlargement and deterioration of alveoli

Accepted Answer

Asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction, inflammation, and hyperresponsiveness, not by permanent enlargement and deterioration of alveoli, which is associated with emphysema.
