We will discuss the foundational concepts that lead to the obstructive pulmonary diseases. Following topics are discussed:
- Diseases that are classified as obstructive pulmonary diseases.
- Anatomical and physiological functions.
- Airway structure.
- Parts of the airway that are involved in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD)
- Pathology of chronic bronchitis.
- Pathology of emphysema.
- Pathology of bronchiolitis.
- Definition of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
- COPD vs. Asthma
- How smoke and pollutants cause damage to large and small airways.
- Immune system and obstructive diseases.
- Protease and anti-protease imbalance. We will discuss acquired and genetic deficiencies of protease inhibitors, for example, alpha-1 antitrypsin.
- Oxidant and anti-oxidant imbalance.
In this video we will learn about:
1. Airway structures.
2. Obstructive pathology.
3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
4. COPD vs. Asthma
5. Pathogenesis of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

So if chronic bronchitis can't be defined morphologicaly/hystologicaly, then when epithelium of bronchii developes squamous cell metaplasia, the diagnosis becomes COPD?

Why you said it is squammous dysplasia, it should be squammous metaplasia.
