Question:

Which one of the following is the INCORRECT statement regarding to the disorders of respiration system?

Options:

Asthma is a difficulty in breathing causing wheezing due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles.

Emphysema is an acute disorder which is not exaggerated by smoking cigarette.

Occupational respiratory disorders are caused due to particles released from factory exhausts, fires, mining operations, and agriculture practices. The toxicity of the air-borne particles increases as the particle size decreases.

In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient can’t exhale in the normal way, which causes trouble breathing.

Correct Answer:

Emphysema is an acute disorder which is not exaggerated by smoking cigarette.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2)- Emphysema is an acute disorder which is not exaggerated by smoking cigarette.

Asthma is a difficulty in breathing causing wheezing due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles.

Emphysema is a chronic disorder in which alveolar walls are damaged due to which respiratory surface is decreased. One of the major causes of this is cigarette smoking.

Occupational Respiratory Disorders: In certain industries, especially those involving grinding or stone-breaking, so much dust is produced that the defense mechanism of the body cannot fully cope with the situation. Long exposure can give rise to inflammation leading to fibrosis (proliferation of fibrous tissues) and thus causing serious lung damage. Workers in such industries should wear protective masks.

In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient can’t exhale in the normal way, which causes trouble breathing.
