TB
IgE is associated with inhaled allergens in

Inflammation, mucosal edema, and bronchoconstriction are associated with allergic form of
asthma
Lack of alpha anti-trypsin in emphysema can lead to
alveolar destruction
Hypersecretion of mucus in chronic bronchitis is a result of
recurrent infection.
• All obstructive pulmonary disorders are characterized by
resistance to airflow.
COPD leads to barrel chest due toair trappingEmphysema has a destruction to the alveolar walls due tothe release of proteolytic enzymes from immune cellsChronic bronchitis leads to cor pulmonale due toincreased pulmonary vascular resistanceBronchoconstriction, bronchial mucosal edema, hypersecretion of mucus, and hypoxemia are associated withacute asthma attackChronic inflammatory disorder, airway responsiveness, genetic susceptibility, and airway remodeling are all characteristics ofasthma• Use of accessory muscles, expiratory wheezing, coughing, and feeling of chest tightness are all part of anacute asthma episodeStatus asthmaticus is a life-threatening complication ofasthmaThick mucus, fibrosis, and smooth muscle hypertrophy are all parts ofairway obstruction in chronic bronchitisProductive cough is seen in patients withchronic bronchitis
