Question

orrect description.
atelectasis
rhinitis
asbestosis
asthma
a condition in which a part of
the lung fails to expand
normally due to a blockage
of the air passages
a respiratory disease caused
by inhaling asbestos fibers,
which can result in the
formation of scar tissue, or
fibrosis
disease in which the airway
become constricted or
encounters resistance due to
the bronchioles
inflammatory response to a
stimulus
inflammation of the nasal
mucous membrane, causing
swelling and increased
secretions

Explanation:

Match each respiratory condition to its defining description based on medical definitions:

1. Atelectasis is defined by collapsed/non-expanded lung tissue from airway blockage.
2. Rhinitis affects the nasal mucous membranes, causing inflammation and secretions.
3. Asbestosis is directly linked to asbestos fiber inhalation leading to lung scarring.
4. Asthma involves airway constriction from bronchiole inflammatory responses.

Answer:

• Atelectasis: a condition in which a part of the lung fails to expand normally due to a blockage of the air passages
• Rhinitis: inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane, causing swelling and increased secretions
• Asbestosis: a respiratory disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers, which can result in the formation of scar tissue, or fibrosis
• Asthma: disease in which the airway become constricted or encounters resistance due to the bronchioles' inflammatory response to a stimulus
