chief Complaint: 40-year-old man with a cough and dyspnea. History: Joe Butt, a 40-year-old white male with a 52-pack-year smoking history suffered from chronic bronchitis. For the last several months he has been on an antibiotics treatment. Three weeks ago, his otherwise normal smoker’s cough started producing bloody sputum ("hemoptysis"). In the past week Joe has become increasingly short of breath ("dyspnea"). A routine chest X-ray revealed a couple of quarter-sized opacities in his right lung around the alveoli. Bronchoscopic examination revealed the tumors were nearly occluding two major bronchioles in his right lung. A bronchial biopsy revealed the diagnosis: bronchogenic carcinoma. Questions: 1. What is "bronchogenic carcinoma"? What medical professional most likely confirmed the nature of the biopsy? 2. Describe the structure of the bronchial epithelium. How many layers of cells make up this tissue? 3. Describe what the “mucociliary escalator" is and it’s function in the respiratory system. 4. What two conditions do you think have led to Joe experiencing a shortness of breath ("dyspnea")? 5. What is the most likely or common way that this type of cancer may metastasize (i.e. spreading to other parts of the body)?

Bony tissue is arranged in concentric rings called osteons (or Haversian systems).

Consider what you learned about intracellular communication from chapter 4, and explain the following:

  • How osteocytes communicate with each other
  • What role is played by the lacunae, the canaliculi, the central arteries and the perforating arteries (Volkmann's arteries).
  • Additionally, consider cellular growth, nutrition, and repair in relation to osteocytes.
