. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide and it takes place in the alveoli.
2.Cilia are hairlike structures found in the trachea and bronchi that move in unison in a wavelike manner to expel mucous and anything trapped therein.
3. C shaped cartilaginous rings. The posterior side is flexible so food can pass through the esophagus.
6.Tidal Volume is the amount of air you move in and out of your lungs on any given breath. Vital Capacity is the amount you can exhale after a maximal inhalation.
I will not do 4 & 5 for you. Look them up yourself. You need to learn this stuff.

Reduced gas diffusion because of the destruction of alveoli is a medical condition known as?
emphysema
What is characterized anatomically as the permanent abnormal enlargement of distal airway spaces and destruction of the alveolar walls?
Emphysema. The alveolar walls are destroyed and replaced with scar tissue, which cannot allow diffusion of oxygen from the alveolus to the capillary. It cannot be reversed.
What is emphysema nec?
Emphysema not elsewhere classified
What is the prefix and suffix for emphysema?
The prefix for emphysema is "emphyse-", and the suffix is "-ma".
Is emphysema life threatening?
Yes, emphysema is a serious lung condition that can be life-threatening, especially if left untreated or if the individual continues to smoke. It leads to gradual damage of the air sacs in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe and reducing the body's ability to get oxygen into the bloodstream. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
What is the scientific name of emphysema?
Emphysema is the scientific name.
Is emphysema communicable?
yes
What are the origins of emphysema?
Emphysema has been around as long as cigars. Also, Emphysema has benn around for thousands of years, since the Egyptian times. Emphysema was just recently discovered.
When was emphysema found?
by smoking and dirty plice working cause emphysema
What Disease characterized by decrease in alveolar elasticity?
emphysemaemphysemaChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is most often caused by cigarette smoking.Its called the EmphysemaEmphysema is one disease that can cause the pulmonary alvioli to be useless. Lung cancer is another one. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder) is also responsible for making alvioli useless.EmphasemaEmphysemaEmphysemaits called emphysemaemphysema Reason: Emphysema is a disease that is linked to smoking and results in a reduction in the number and elasticity of alveoli. People with emphysema have difficulty breathing.EmphysemaEmphysemaEmphysemaemphysemaEmphysemaasthmaEmphysema is correct, but what actually happens is that the delicate one-cell-thick walls of the alveoli are damaged and replaced by thick scar tissue which cannot allow the diffusion of gases to and from the blood. This damage cannot be reversed.It is called emphysema.It is Emphysema and it can take 20 to 30 years to develop
What can you get by smocking?
emphysema. a condition where the lining between the alveoli in the lungs is destroyed. this dramatically reduces the surface area available for the diffusion of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of the blood. this leaves the sufferer breathless, tired and with a lack of energy.
Can you survive emphysema?
People do not recover from emphysema, but sometimes they survive for many years, despite having the disease. Eventually emphysema is fatal.
