∘ barrel chest
∘ defective mucus glands
∘ dilated windpipe
∘ pus - filled chest
- shortness of breath and ______ are signs of emphysema.

Response
Question 3
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- "barrel chest": A barrel - shaped chest (puffed up) can be an outcome of conditions like emphysema where the chest becomes inflated.
- "defective mucus glands" relates to conditions like cystic fibrosis, not a puffed - up appearance.
- "dilated windpipe" is about the trachea, not a puffed - up chest.
- "pus - filled chest" is about infection with pus, not a puffed - up look.
So the correct option is the one that means puffed up, which is barrel chest.
Brief Explanations
Emphysema is a lung disease. One of its signs is a barrel - shaped (barreled) chest along with shortness of breath.
- "Chicken Chest" (pectus carinatum) has a different cause and appearance.
- "Pigeon Chest" is also a different chest deformity.
- "Dyschondroplastic Chest" is related to skeletal dysplasia, not emphysema.
So the sign of emphysema along with shortness of breath is barreled chest.
