_____ carcinoma of the lung is characterized histologically by keratin pearls and intercellular bridges

Asthma pathogenesis: TH2 cells secrete IL-_____ which attracts eosinophils

_____ is an immunologically mediated reaction that generates granulomas in response to inhaled organic antigens (e.g. pigeon breeders lung)

Secondary pulmonary hypertension due to Chronic _____ may arise with recurrent pulmonary embolism or microthrombi

Inhalation injury results in the development of chemical _____, pulmonary edema, and pneumonitis

In an asthmatic response, mast cells lead to generation of leukotrienes _____, D4, and E4 (early-phase reaction)

_____ pneumonia is characterized by neutrophils in the air sacs with an intra-alveolar exudate (location)

_____ involves type I and III hypersensitivity reactions caused by Aspergillus fumigatus
