Smoking and disease

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Atherosclerosis   The accumulation of fatty materials in artery walls, called  
🗑
Angina Pectoris   Severe chest pain from exertion, will go away with rest and no damaged cause.  
🗑
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)   Obstruction by blood clot, tissue starved of oxygen and tissue death will occur.  
🗑
Heart failure   blockage, damage, gradual damage which makes the heart weak  
🗑
Stroke   Loss of oxygen to specific part of brain. Artery in brain burst and leaks into brain tissue. Neurons are starved at oxygen and tissue death occurs (cerebral infarction). Goes from minor to mild to severe.  
🗑
Nicotine   Increase in pressure, heart rate, and demand of oxygen. Absorbed by blood, travels to brain and stimulates vasoconstriction(decreases blood flow to extremities). Highly addictive.  
🗑
Carbon monoxide   reduces haemoglobin ability to carry oxygen. Diffuses across walls of alveoli and into blood, forms carboxyhemoglobin. This replaces oxygen, damages the lining of arteries and reduces quantity of oxygen.  
🗑
Stroke damage   damage will be determined by what part of brain is affected.  
🗑
Thrombus   Rough surface of lining of an artery from plague breaking through lining, this leads to tissue starvation. Causes damage to the endothelium.  
🗑
Tar   settles on lining of airways, stimulates changes lead to obstructive lung diseases and lung cancer.  
🗑
Nicotine increases   increases stickiness of platelets and blood clotting along arteries.  
🗑
Asthmatic attack   smooth muscles contract and this obstructs the flow of airways. this makes breathing difficult.  
🗑
Severe coughing can lead to   to damage in the alveoli and it is replaced with scar tissue.  
🗑
Tar stimulates   goblet cells and mucus glands to enlarge and secrete more mucus.  
🗑
Tar destroys   cilia which makes them not present when cross section is examined.  
🗑
Lung cancer   Tar has the carcinogens. It reacts directly or via breakdown products with DNA in epithelial cells to produce mutations leads to malignant tumor. Cancer spreads through bronchial epithelium and enters lymphatic tissues and metastasizes.  
🗑
amount of time it takes for lung cancer develops   20 to 30 yrs. Very big sign is coughing up blood.  
🗑
Emphysema   The phagocytes will release a protein called elastase (digesting enzyme), destroying elastin (in lining of airways) reducing expansion and recoil or airways. Bronchioles collapse, alveoli will burst and leave spaces. Causes reduction of surface area.  
🗑
More on emphysema   Exhalation of air will decrease from 4 dm^3 to 1 dm^3 leaves stagnant air (takes up space) in the lung with shallow and rapid breathing. Pulmonary arteries then increase in pressure which enlarges right ventricle.  
🗑
Tobacco smoke contains   tar, carbon monoxide and nicotine.  
🗑
the signs and symptoms of COPD   breathlessness, wheezing and constant coughing  
🗑
symptoms of lung cancer   coughing up blood and chest pains  
🗑
Smoking damages   the cardiovascular system, increasing atherosclerosis and increasing the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
