This is best exemplified in the hyper expansion of the residual lung parenchyma that follows after a surgical removal of the diseased lung or a diseased lobe
COMPENSATORY EMPHYSEMA
Type of Emphysema wherein the acini are uniformly enlarged from the level of the respiratory bronchiole to the terminal blind alveoli.
PANLOBULAR (PANACINAR) EMPHYSEMA
An acquired atelectasis that results whenever pleural cavity is partially or completely filled by fluid exudates, tumor or blood clot that may constitute a Pneumothorax.
COMPRESSIVE ATELECTASIS
Manifested clinically by cough, fever and expectoration of abundant amount of foul-smelling purulent sputum.
BRONCHIECTASIS
A congenital atelectasis that implies that the lung or some significant portion of the lung failed to expand at birth.
PRIMARY ATELECTASIS
This refers to any form of Emphysema that produces large sub-pleural bullae.
BULLOUS EMPHYSEMA
This respiratory disorder is present in any patient who has persistent cough with sputum production for at least three months in at least three consecutive years.
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
Refers to incomplete expansion of the lungs, or the collapse of the previously inflated lung substance.
ATELECTASIS
This consists of a non-specific suppurative inflammatory response in a loose alveolar tissue that offers a little resistance to the accumulation of large amount of exudates.
BRONCHOPNEUMONIA
This refers to the over distended, sometimes fullness of the lung which is commonly found in late adults.
SENILE EMPHYSEMA
A condition of the lung characterized by permanent enlargement of the air spaces.
EMPHYSEMA
This is called “Farmer’s Lung Disease” that results from exposure to materials generated from harvested humid hay.
HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS
A chronic necrotizing infection of the bronchi and bronchioles leading to, or associated with abnormal dilatation of the airways.
BRONCHIECTASIS
It describes a local suppurative process within the lungs characterized by necrosis of the lung tissue.
PULMONARY ABSCESS
This evokes consolidation of the pulmonary tissue by invasion of bacteria to the lung parenchyma.
BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA
An acute bacterial infection of a large portion of a lobe or of an entire lobe which tends to occur at any age.
LOBAR PNEUMONIA
An emphysematous space more than three centimeters in diameter in the distended state.
BULLAE
Type of Bronchial Asthma wherein the patient is triggered by environmental antigens.
EXTRINSIC ASTHMA
Strain of tubercle bacilli that cause Intestinal Tuberculosis.
BOVINE STRAIN
Lobes of the lungs that presents almost entirely on the posterior aspect of the thoracic cavity.
LOWER TWO LOBES
This is composed of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs.
ACINUS
It has the cardinal function of exchanging gases between inspired air with the blood.
LUNGS
This emphysema is almost invariably associated with scarring wherein adjacent to the scar, there is irregular enlargement of acini accompanied by destructive changes.
IRREGULAR EMPHYSEMA
This has the characteristic findings of multiple continuous enlarged air spaces from less than 0.5mm to more than 2 centimeters in diameter and sometimes forming a cyst-like structure.
PARASEPTAL (DISTAL ACINAR) EMPHYSEMA
