Anatomy and physiology questions, please help?!
Question: 1. After a long bout of bronchitis, Ms. Dupee complains of a stabbing in her side with each breath. What is her probably condition?
2. Joanne Willis, a long-time smoker, is complaining that she has developed a persistent cough. What is your first guess as to her condition? What has happened to her bronchial cilia?
3. Barbara is rushed to the emergency room after an auto accident. The 8th through the 10th ribs on her left side have been fracture and have punctured the lung. What term is used to indicate lung collapse? Will both lungs collapse? Why or why not?

1. pneumonia
2. COPD.. i don't know if bronchitis or emphysema. bronchial cilia have slowed down and stopped filtering.
3. pneumothorax, no, they each have their own separate membrane
