(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which fibers get into the lysosome.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of particle or fiber accumulation on the lysosome.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for the death of silica-containing or asbestos-containing cells.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The fate of silica or asbestos fibers when silica-containing and asbestos-containing cells die. Also, determine that how the process of cell death remains continue even after the prevention of further exposure to silica dust or asbestos fibers.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The deposition of collagen nodules in the lungs of silicosis patients.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.
