How does emphysema affect the other systems in the body?
Emphysema (or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects the lungs. The lung tissue loses its elasticity so that when the person exhales or breathes out, only a little bit of air is expelled. This means that there is less space for the oxygen rich air they breathe in, so someone with emphysema never has enough oxygen. They tend to be pale with blue lips and fingernails, and they use extra muscles to help them breathe, such as the muscles in the neck. People with emphysema never have enough oxygen and as all the body systems need oxygen to function properly, the whole body is affected. Emphysema is most often caused by tobacco smoking, but it can be caused through long term exposure to industrial chemicals and toxic dusts.
