Which of these age-related disorders is related to loss of elasticity of the lungs and hypoxia?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the age-related disorder characterized by loss of elasticity in the lungs and hypoxia. This chronic condition restricts airflow, making it difficult to breathe and leading to reduced oxygen supply to the body.
The loss of elasticity in the tissues of the lungs is called what?
The loss of elasticity of the alveoli is caused by high pressure in the bladder causing an unsafe drop in blood pressure which will cause alveoli to lose their elasticity. It can also be caused by being overweight, underweight, or eating feces.
What is loss of lens elasticity?
Presbyopia
What is loss of lens elasticity called?
Presbyopia
Does increase in tidal volume changes will accompany the loss of elasticity of the lungs associated with aging?
Yes, as elasticity decreases with age, the lungs may require an increase in tidal volume to maintain adequate gas exchange. This compensation helps overcome the decreased ability of the lungs to expand and contract efficiently. However, this increased tidal volume may lead to increased respiratory effort and potential respiratory muscle fatigue.
Do you get laryngitis or influenza with the loss of alveolar elasticity?
No, alveolar elasticity would not directly lead to laryngitis or influenza.
Wrinkling of the skin is due to loss of?
the skin's elasticity
Loss of skin elasticity is a clinical sign of?
dehydration
Is loss of elasticity in the skin a symptom of hypernatremia?
Yes
What is the thickening and loss of elasticity of the arteries referred to as?
atheroma
What is arteriolosclerosis?
An arteriolosclerosis is a hardening, narrowing, or loss of elasticity in the arterioles.
What is an arteriolosclerosis?
An arteriolosclerosis is a hardening, narrowing, or loss of elasticity in the arterioles.
