The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes or abundant it triggers the cough reflex. C. There are macrophages found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli that normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious

medium-sized airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the more distal parts of the lung parenchyma).[1][2][3] Bronchitis can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic.[1][2][3][4] Acute bronchitis is characterized by the development of a cough or small sensation in the back of the throat‚ with or without the production of sputum(mucus that is expectorated‚ or "coughed up"‚ from the respiratory tract). Acute bronchitis often occurs during the course of an acute viral illness such as the common

Many smokers will start to develop a cough‚ known as a “smoker’s cough” .This is due to their lungs becoming damaged. The nicotine in cigarettes will also start to damage healthy cells.

as one of the two forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which can be very devastating. During the beginning stages of chronic bronchitis‚ slight coughing may be seen in the morning and as the disease progresses the individual may cough all throughout the day. This homeostatic imbalance causes a build up of excess mucus which in turn causes shortness of breath due to less airflow. Signs of excessive coughing can be seen also some may even see some blood in the mucus. The airway passages

to excess mucus production and poorly functioning cilia‚ a combination that makes airway clearance especially difficult. When people with COPD can’t clear their secretions‚ they develop the hallmark symptoms of COPD‚ including a chronic‚ productive cough‚ wheezing and dyspnea. Finally‚ the build-up of mucus attracts a host of bacteria that thrive and multiply in the warm‚ moist environment of the airway and lungs. The end result is further inflammation‚ the formation of diverticula (pouch-like sacs)

It is spread through the air when people who have an active TB infection cough‚ sneeze‚ or otherwise transmit respiratory fluids through the air.[2] Most infections are asymptomatic and latent‚ but about one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease which‚ if left untreated‚ kills more than 50% of those so infected.
