This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: COPD, Th1, Tc1 promotes breakdown of alveolar wall and capillaries, narrowing of small airway (airway obstruction) characterized by Bronchitis, fibrosis and thickening of bronchiolar walls leads to narrowing of small airway (airway obstruction), Ie. Cigarette smoke activates inflammatory response (epithelial cells of airway - bronchioles and alveoli), goblet cells stimulates increased mucus production, air trapping in alveoli during expiration characterized as Emphysema, PO dose 40mg prednisolone daily x 5 days, Chronic cough 3 months for 2 years Productive sputum, Emphysema Signs/Symptoms Lean/weight loss, breakdown of alveolar wall and capillaries leads to poor gas diffusion, Systemic Steroids type PO, Pathophysiology irritant introduced Ie. Cigarette smoke, macrophages releases IL-6, IL-8, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, goblet cells stimulates ciliary dysfunction, breakdown of elastin promotes breakdown of alveolar wall and capillaries, Systemic Steroids type IV, ciliary dysfunction leads to narrowing of small airway (airway obstruction), Bronchitis Signs / Symptoms Overweight, Bronchitis Signs / Symptoms Peripheral edema is common, macrophages releases Th1, Tc1
