The provider explains to the client, who smokes, that cells in the trachea are substituted with cells that are better able to survive. This process is known as Metaplasia.
Metaplasia is the substitution of one differentiated somatic cell kind with another differentiated somatic cell kind in identical tissue.
Cigarette smoking is also related to deep transformations in mucous exhibition mechanisms. Chronic vulnerability to the smoke generates metaplastic alterations to the respiratory mucosa with an upsurge in the number and extent of goblet cells and the resultant growth in upper airway secretion.
The squamous metaplasia may help to shield the underlying tissue against the injurious consequences of cigarette smoke.
