Question

Pneumonia – characterized by the accumulation of fluid and white blood cells within the alveoli. This leads to a smaller surface area of alveolar walls. Which process is impeded? (1pt)

A. Conduction

B. Respiration

Bronchitis – an inflammation of the mucosa (lining) of the bronchial tree (i.e. bronchi and bronchioles). Which process is impeded? (1pt)

A. Conduction

B. Respiration

Diaphragm paralysis – often results from damage to the phrenic nerve, leading to an inability to regulate breathing. Which process is impeded? (1pt)

A. Conduction

B. Respiration

Emphysema – caused by damage to (and loss of) alveolar walls. Alveoli become characteristically large with loss of dividing walls. Which process is impeded? (1pt)

A. Conduction

B. Respiration

Answer 1

Ans

pneumonia - accumulation of fluid hampered gaseous exachage so alveolar RESPIRATION imped and reapiratory rate increases.

bronchitis -inflammation of brochi n brochniole leads to narrow and mucus plugged reduce CONDUCTION through them

diaphragmatic palsy - lead to reduce RESPIRATION as diaphragm is key ms of repiration .

empysema - it is disease of alveoli irrevesible distention alveoli RESPIRATION impeded as large alveolar area and less blood supply more air is waste .without exchage
