Match the following respiratory disorders/infections/complications with their descriptions: 1. Irritants trigger bronchiole spasms and swelling causing breathlessness, wheezing, and tightness in the chest. - Asthma 2. Bacterial infection whereby bacteria become encapsulated in the lungs, can remain dormant, and reactivate years later, especially when the immune system is compromised. - Tuberculosis 3. Incurable disorder caused by damage to the alveoli, they lose their elasticity (impeding exhalation) resulting in reduced surface area for gas exchange, usually caused by smoking exposure to pollutants. - Emphysema 4. Inflammation of the epithelial membranes enclosing the lungs (called pleural membrane), causes pain during breathing. - Pleurisy 5. Lung collapse. - Chest puncture pleural membrane rupture causes the pressure in the pleural cavity (intrapleural pressure) to equalize with the pressure in the alveoli. 6. Infection caused by coronavirus or rhinovirus, usually not accompanied by fever; symptoms include cough, stuffy nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. - Cold
