Goblet cells (bronchi)

Also see: lung alveoli, bronchial mucosa and bronchial muscles

Theme

Not being able to "salivate" or get an (air) morsel, thus a fear of choking. For example, asthma.

CA phase

Functional increase. Increase of goblet cells.

Biological purpose

More mucus in the bronchi so air flows through more easily.

Symptoms

Possible more mucus in the bronchi.

PCL phase

Functional normalization. Decomposition of extra cells by fungi or TB bacteria, if present.

Symptoms

Coughing up yellow, pus-like mucus, fatigue and/or night sweats, shortness of breath, fever, smelly breath.

This program is similar to bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial mucosa) and it is often confused with it. Difference: smelly night sweat due to TB activity and the yellow, pus-like mucus. You don't find this in bronchitis.

Hanging healing: sharp decrease to complete disappearance of goblet cells (also see endoderm).
Result: mucous membrane of the bronchi is too tough, too "sticky." Mucoviscidosis of the bronchi.

Relapses or  hanging healing after crisis: pulmonary fibrosis (with scar tissue).
