COPD(Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a broad classification of disorders that includes chronic bronchitis , bronchiectasis , emphysema and asthma , which is an irreversible condition associated with dyspnea on exertion and decreased air flow in and out of the lungs. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a disease that causes airway obstruction, including therein is asthma , chronic bronchitis and emphysema Pulmonum . Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a lung disorder characterized by impaired lung function in the form of prolonged expiratory period caused by the narrowing of the airways and not much changed in the period of observation for some time. Disease chronic obstructive lung is a term used for a group of lung diseases that last long and is characterized by increased resistance to air flow as the main pathophysiological picture. Classification Diseases included in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease group are as follows: 1. Chronic Bronchitis Bronchi...

Emphysema Lung Is the permanent widening of the structure of pulmonary gas exchange that is distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of alveolar walls. Etiology Main factors: smokers either active smoking or passive smoking depending on the length, number, how to smoke. Air pollution, in the form: Particles, These chemicals, Toxic Gas Infections: viral and bacterial Genetics: a. Talent arise emphysema b. The balance of destructive enzymes (protease) & protective enzymes (alpha-1-antitrypsin). Google Image Pathogenesis Inhalation of cigarette smoke or pollutants stimulate cells in the lung macrophages and neutrophils produce elastase and collagenase is an enzyme that damages the fibers of elastin and collagen, and which is the framework of the alveoli and acini in order not to collapse. Smoking also inhibit the action of alpha-1-antitrypsin, an enzyme that protects elastin fibers against proteases. In the lung there is a balance between destroyi...
