WorksheetsChapter-2 | Respiratory System: Asthma
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
Which statement best describes the primary function of the respiratory system?
Exchanging gases during respiration
Regulating heart rhythm during exercise
Producing hormones for metabolism
Digesting nutrients in the bloodstream
What is the most accurate definition of asthma?
A collapse of alveoli after trauma
A bacterial infection of lung tissue
A condition of narrowed, swollen, mucus-rich airways
A genetic disorder of red blood cells
Which option lists a classification type of asthma correctly?
Viral-only asthma with no allergens
Altitude asthma due to low barometric pressure
Seasonal asthma related to weather changes
Metabolic-induced asthma from hypoglycemia
Which scenario best exemplifies occupational asthma?
Child coughs during spring pollen peaks
Worker exposed to chemical fumes in industry
Traveler short of breath in cold climate
Runner wheezes after interval training
Which statement about exercise-induced asthma is correct?
It is prevented by avoiding all allergens
It is due to congenital airway malformations
It arises only from viral infections
It results from excessive physical exertion
Place the immunologic sequence in order: first exposure to factors leads to helper T-cell activation, then B-cells produce IgE binding mast cells, followed by what key event on re-exposure?
Mast cells release histamines and leukotrienes
Macrophages ingest surfactant proteins
Alveoli collapse causing atelectasis
Fibroblasts deposit collagen in bronchi
Which cells mature under cytokine influence and then migrate to airways, eyes, and nose during asthma?
Eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils
Erythrocytes and platelets
Chondrocytes and osteoclasts
Hepatocytes and Kupffer cells
Which clinical manifestation most specifically suggests asthma rather than simple URI?
Sudden chest wall bruising
Nasal dryness without secretion
Persistent wheezing with dyspnoea
Isolated fever without cough
Which set lists typical asthma symptoms?
Gelatinous sputum production
Prolonged expiration
Pleuritic friction rub
Cough and chest tightness
Wheezing and dyspnoea
Which respiratory system element helps control body pH level?
Alveolar macrophages producing antibodies
Olfactory bulbs detecting environmental odors
Vocal cords modulating sound amplitude
Lungs regulating carbon dioxide removal
Which drug class provides short-term relief by rapidly relaxing bronchial smooth muscle?
Inhaled steroids only anti-inflammatory
Long-acting beta-agonists used daily
Short-acting beta-agonists for quick relief
Long-acting muscarinic antagonists maintenance
Which pairing correctly matches a bronchodilator subtype with an example?
LABA — albuterol, terbutaline
LAMA — budesonide corticosteroid
SABA — salmeterol, formoterol
SAMA — ipratropium anticholinergic
Select the fixed drug combinations commonly used for COPD management.
Albuterol + Ipratropium
Fenoterol + Ipratropium
Glycopyrrolate + Terbutaline
Budesonide + Formoterol
Fluticasone + Salmeterol
Which statement best distinguishes LABA from SABA in respiratory care?
LABA provide rapid rescue during attacks
SABA deliver prolonged control overnight
SABA reduce airway inflammation primarily
LABA offer long duration for maintenance
Which muscarinic antagonist is short-acting and often used for acute bronchodilation?
Glycopyrrolate bromide long-acting
Tiotropium long-acting anticholinergic
Aclidinium long-acting anticholinergic
Ipratropium short-acting anticholinergic
Which non-pharmacological strategy best targets triggers that precipitate bronchospasm?
Follow government diet regulations
Avoid allergens causing reactions
Increase yoga for lung capacity
Use home natural remedies daily
Which symptom profile most commonly suggests COPD in adults?
Sudden chest pain and hemoptysis only
Dyspnea on exertion with cough, sputum, wheezing
Intermittent fever with normal breathing
Night sweats without respiratory complaints
What structural change characterizes emphysema in COPD?
Excess pleural fluid compressing lung tissue
Airway cartilage thickening and stiff bronchi
Tracheal dilation with improved airflow
Destruction of alveolar sacs reducing elasticity
Which fixed combination therapy is appropriately paired?
All listed combinations correct
Budesonide plus formoterol
Fenoterol plus ipratropium
Albuterol plus ipratropium
Which non-pharmacological measure targets a leading COPD cause?
Begin cigar use to relieve stress
Increase exposure to dusty workshops
Stop cigarette smoking immediately
Avoid vaccines against pneumonia
