More mucous can accumulate in pouches and crevices inthe baggy, soft, bronchial tube walls; During coughs, the bronchial tube wall tends to collapse, trapping mucous inside,rather than acting as a rigid tube through which mucous can beexpelled. This leads to more mucous accumulating in the bronchial tubes, producing a vicious cycle, where increasingAmounts of infected mucous produce further damage andsoftening of the bronchial tube walls, leading to the accumulation of more mucous. The presence of soft,dilated bronchial tubes is called Bronchiectasis.
