Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
Pressure gradients drive the movement of surface air. Air flows from areas of high pressure to low pressure, creating winds. The greater the pressure difference, the faster the air movement.
Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.
*IT* Doesnt Emphyesma is when alveoli die. how does it affect them... Well it would affect them like it affects every other cell in the body. (decreased O2) but it acually doesnt affect the alveoli it just happens when they die
that the hell who would want to know that
Going higher in altitude has less air pressure at high altitude. Less pressure = bigger bubbles. Bigger bubbles = the bends and can lead to bursting alveoli in the lungs which leads to a visit to a recompression chamber.

Boyle's law: as volume increases pressure decreases and inversely as the volume decreases the pressure increases Henry's law: quantity of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas and its solubility Charles' law: as temperature increases the pressure increases therefore as temperature decreases the pressure decreases Dalton's law: each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its own pressure as if no other gases were present.
When air pressure is Low it becomes very difficult to breath simply because air moves from high partial pressure to low partial pressure.
The main force that affects the horizontal movement of air is the pressure gradient force, which drives air from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. Other factors such as the Coriolis effect (due to Earth's rotation) and friction with the surface can also influence the direction and speed of horizontal air movement. These forces collectively contribute to the complex patterns of wind flow in Earth's atmosphere.
Temperature affects air movement by creating differences in air pressure. Warmer air is less dense and rises, creating a low-pressure area. Cooler air is denser and sinks, creating a high-pressure area. The movement of air from high to low pressure creates wind.
The movement of the flame in response to sound is due to acoustic waves causing fluctuations in air pressure. These pressure changes affect the flow of air around the flame, leading to its movement. This phenomenon is known as the "singing flame."
Paresis is a condition characterized by partial loss of movement or impaired movement, usually due to weakness or neurological dysfunction. It can affect various parts of the body and is often associated with conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or nerve damage. Physical therapy and medications are common treatment approaches for paresis.
