2 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) includes which respiratory disorders? multiple choice chronic bronchitis and emphysema lung cancer and cystic fibrosis pneumothorax and alveolitis smokers lung and asthma
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make breathing difficult. Chronic bronchitis is characterized by inflammation and mucus - producing in the bronchial tubes. Emphysema involves damage to the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs. These two conditions are the main components of COPD. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the lungs, cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder affecting the exocrine glands, pneumothorax is the presence of air in the pleural cavity, alveolitis is inflammation of the alveoli, "smoker's lung" is a general term for lung damage due to smoking (not a specific medical diagnosis in the same category as COPD components), and asthma is a different respiratory condition with reversible airway obstruction (not typically part of the classic COPD definition which usually refers to chronic and mostly irreversible obstruction).
