Smoking destroys your respiratory tract because the chemicals and tar hardens your lungs and air sacs (alveoli), which need to be thin, moist and flexible. Therefore, it is harder to breath when you smoke because your lungs and heart are working harder for gas exchange.
smoking affects your lung and without your lungs no life;)
Smoking anything is not safe for you as it depletes oxygen, and can destroy the ciliates lining of your respiratory tract. Eating healthy foods is a better alternative as is chewing gum. If you are intent on smoking an e-cigarette has less chemicals.
Yes, the trachea is the first structure classified as a part of the lower respiratory tract.
smoking introduces toxic substances like ammonia or arsenic etc which attached to the respiratory tract and loses the elasticity of the alveolar tract and destroys the alveoli due to whih improper conversion of gases happens and slowly causes cancer
Yes and it also has notable effects on the other parts of the respiratory tract as well (leading to the "smoker's cough")
Ciliary dysfunction in the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract is responsible for the smoker's cough. Smoking damages the cilia, which are tiny hairs that help to move mucus and debris out of the airways. When cilia are impaired, mucus and irritants accumulate, leading to coughing as the body tries to expel them.
Acute= severe. Lower Respiratory Tract= Respiratory system below the larynx. This refers to a pneumonia or a bronchitis.
The respiratory tract consists of organs and tissues such as the nose, pharynx, bronchi, trachea and alveoli. The respiratory tract starts at the nose.
The main immunoglobulin of the respiratory tract is Immunoglobulin A (IgA). It plays a crucial role in defending against pathogens that enter through the respiratory mucosa by neutralizing and preventing their attachment to the mucosal surface.
The residual volume is the portion of air in the respiratory tract that cannot be exhaled.
URI is the medical abbreviation meaning upper respiratory tract infection.
No, the upper respiratory tract includes the nose or nostrils, nasal cavity, mouth, throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx).
