atelectasis
Definition
incomplete expansion of the lung or collapse of expanded lung
-compromises oxygenation and it makes the individual susceptible to infection.
-anything that prevents the development of negative pressure in the lung is going to lead to atelectasis. Or anything that will prevent air exchange or prevent conduction of air into a lung will lead to atelectasis.
Term
resorption atelectasis
Definition
-arises because of obstruction due to tumor, foreign body, or blood clot that may form during surgery.
-* Because you’re not breathing in as much air as you would normally, the air inside the lung gets resorbed

1. Lobar- involves 1 or more lobes or a whole lobe, and there are no patches of inflammation. Initially have acute inflammation with a vascular response. Red hepatization where you have the lung that feels more solid because of red blood cells coming in, and also because of fibrin. And gray hepatization is when the red blood cells resorb, and the fibrin is left there.

2. Bronchopneumonia- starts as a bronchial infection and becomes an infection in the parenchyma with patches of inflammation.
3. Interstitial
Term
Tb
Definition
delayed type hypersensitivity
-chronic inflamm of lung
-- Primary disease is when somebody is exposed to the Tb mycobacterium and they haven’t been previously infected. 95% of this population will not develop Tb, even though they have been exposed, they will not develop Tb unless they have HIV or are immunosuppressed.
- Secondary Tb develops many years after the primary infection in people who have been previously exposed. But immunity to Tb limits the spread but the damage is due to hypersensitivity. The mycobacterium that causes tuberculosis does not have a toxin or enzyme, but it is the response to this bacteria by macrophages and by T cells that leads to production of mediators that cause tissue damage.
