Right

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.
