Moreover, prolonged exposures to harmful particles and gases from industrial smoke,
Basically the nicotin cannot digested and excreted in our body.The nicotin will deposits in the
bronchus and bronchioles.The deposition of nikotin will stimulate the two type of cells which
is epithelial cells and dendritic cells.This cells will stimulate other type of WBC such as T cell
substance stimulare the mucous cells of the gland to secrete mucous.Mucous secreted called
hypermucus secretion.The muscle of the bronchus thickens and narrow.The vessel also
vasodilate and increase the permeability of vessel wall.The exudate will cover the mucous
membrane and damage the cilia.Some cells will die called necrosis. These changes in airway
structure further contribute to pooling of thick mucus, and the self-perpetuating cycle of
infection and inflammation, which promotes progressive airway damage and recurrent
infections.
Although the majority of individuals with bronchiectasis have impaired mucociliary clearance
and excess sputum production, not all patients are persistently colonised with bacteria.
Bacterial colonisation and markers of inflammation in sputum are intermittent in most people.
Patients often remain colonised with the same micro-organism during acute exacerbations as
Thick wall of
Damaged cilia bronchus
Inflammatory cells
Mucus
There will be narrowing of the bronchus.There is also hypertrophy of the wall of the
bronchus.There is the presence of mucus.We can also see the damaged cilia.There is also
Emphysema
Bleeding
Inflammatory cells
Nicotine
The wall of the alveoli damaged
deposited
There will be destruction of wall of alveoli.The capillary wall also destructed due to nicotine.We
can find also the accumulation of blood and inflammatory cells.We can also can observe
The nicotine will deposits.This will cause the mucous glands to enlarged.There will
necrosis.The death cell will be replaced by fibrous tissue.We can also can observe
inflammatory cells.
Atelectasis
Usually,the alveoli in barrow shape.But in this case there will be elongated alveoli due to
Lung abscess
We can observe the pus which is semisolid.The composition of pus is death cells
replaced by fibrous tissue.We can also can observe the inflammatory cells.
CONCLUSION
The trigger and pathogenesis of asthma, explain the role of IGE in condition.
humidity,breathing in cold and dry air.Pathogenesis of Asthma divided into two phase which
are acute response which occur within minutes and a late phase occur after 4-8 hours.In the
airway,the initial sensitization to antigen will stimulate the dendritic cells.The dendritic cells will
stimulate the T cells and production of cytokines such as IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13.The interleukin
will stimulate the B cell.The B cell then stimulate the IgE.IgE then stimulate Eosinophil,Mast
cell and Basophil.Eosinophil produce mediators such as histamine induce bronchospasm and
increase vascular permeability.Mast cell produce mediators such as prostaglandins which
release which cause aggregation of platelets and release of histamine.Mast cell also produce
leukocytes at the site of mast cell degranulation lead to eosinophil and neutrophil to release
IL-4 and IL-5 which will produce platelet-activating factor and tumor necrosis
factor.Eosinophils produce major basic protein, eosinophilic cationic protein and eosinophil
peroxidase ( toxic to epithelial cells).Release of more mediators to activate more mast cells
cause epithelial cell damage.At the end the bronchoconstriction occurs with mucus production
The findings of the chest examination in case of asthma and COPD patients
breathing.Crackles sound also can be heard due to presence of mucous in the airway.
