in certain chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, part of the airways (the bronchioles) constrict. What effect will it have on the airflow
As the part of the airways ( the bronchiole) constrict, the airflow will also get restricted as the narrowing of path, the airflow gets less space and this increases the resistance and thus reduction in airflow.

What is the pathophysiology of COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in your own words
Chapter 30 Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease John is 64 years old with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He caught a cold a week ago and presents to the clinic with green sputum and increased shortness of breath. He had a fever at the beginning of the cold, but does not have a fever today. Current medications are Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol) and lisinopril. On examination, he is afebrile, with respiratory rate 18, heart rate 104, blood pressure 135/70 mm Hg,...

Design a diagrammatic representation of the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that makes it difficult for people to breathe, since small airways in their lungs become blocked. This can make patients gasp for breath or breathe at a higher than usual rate to try to get oxygen. A common treatment for this problem is to have patients breathe oxygen through breathing tubes. We have a sample of COPD patients who naturally breathe at the same rate. Each patient walks on a treadmill...
