The lung is essentially an "outdoor organ" vulnerable to the environment. Biochemically, aging is caused by both endogenous and exogenous free radical injury, inflicted by an over-balance of oxidants with respect to anti-oxidants. Glucose may also play a role in the aging process, by binding non-enzymatically with proteins in lung to form irreversible advanced glycosylation end-products.

Can a man's lungs hold more are than a women's lungs?
Lung capacity is a physical difference in the volume of the lungs. Lung capacity depends on how much air can fill the lungs. A man's lung capacity is larger than a woman's lung capacity.
What is the approximate percent decrease of vital capacity in the same individual from age 25 to 75?
Vital capacity generally decreases by about 20-30% between ages 25 and 75 due to natural aging processes such as changes in lung elasticity and muscle strength. Regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help minimize this decline.
Which malfunction of the human body is characterized by an enlargement and degeneration of the alveoli resulting in the decrease lung capacity?
emphysema (C)
What disorders increase a person lung capacity?
Lung capacity can not be increased by a disorder.
How did my tidal and vital lung capacity differ?
My tidal lung capacity was lower. I know the difference because in the tidal lung capacity you are taking in less breath. When you are doing the vital lung capacity, you take in more breath.
What is lung capacity decreases?
it has lung cancer
What is the effect of execersing on the rate of inhalation on lung capacity?
