Question
Chapter 10, Problem 3AWK
Summary Introduction
To review:
A lifetime of smoking leads to the destruction of the cilia of the cells that line the bronchi and bronchioles. It is required to review that how this destruction of cilia increases the chance of lung infection.
Introduction:
Cilia are tiny hair, which protects the passage in the nose and other parts of the respiratory tract. They filter dust and other particles that enter the nose with the air, which is breathed. The function of cilia is to move back and forth and protect us from the unwanted things we breathe with the oxygen we take in. The trachea, from the end, is divided into tubes on left and right called bronchi and the further division of bronchi into smaller tubes is called bronchioles.

A lifetime of heavy smoking often leads to destruction of the cilia of the cells that line the bronchi and bronchioles. How does this contribute to an increased chance of lung infections?
Why do people with chronic bronchitis have a higher than normal rate of respiratory infections?
A surgeon removed three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung of a patient with TB. Almost half of the lung was removed, yet there was no severe bleeding, and relatively few blood vessels had to be cauterized. Why was the surgery so easy to perform?
