emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is most often caused by cigarette smoking.
Its called the Emphysema
Emphysema 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.

Emphysema
its called emphysema
emphysema 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.

Emphysema 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 else can I help you with?
What is pulmonary alveolar proteinosis?
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease of the lungs.
What disease do the alveolar walls break down?
pulmonary embolism
The respiratory disease that causes abnormal dilation of the alveolar space is?
emphysema
What respiratory disease causes abnormal dilation of the alveolar space?
emphysema
What is an alveococcosis?
An alveococcosis is a form of alveolar hydatid disease caused by certain tapeworms.
Is it true or false that the loss of elasticity in the lungs is called lung cancer?
False. The loss of elasticity in the lungs is typically associated with conditions like emphysema, which is a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), not lung cancer. Lung cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lungs and does not directly relate to the elasticity of lung tissue.
What is contributing to the decreased alveolar ventilation?
Decreased alveolar ventilation can be caused by factors such as respiratory muscle weakness, lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), airway obstruction, or reduced respiratory drive from the brain. It can also be influenced by environmental factors such as high altitudes or poor air quality.
How many men develop osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis often is thought of as disease more prevalent in women, but more than two million men have the disease characterized by decrease in bone mass and density.
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.
How is PAP determined?
A chest x ray may show alveolar disease. An arterial blood gas reveals low oxygen levels in the blood. Bronchoscopy with transtracheal biopsy shows alveolar proteinosis.
What determines lung compliance?
Lung compliance is determined by the elasticity of the lung tissue and the surface tension of the alveoli. Compliance decreases with conditions that stiffen the lung tissue, such as fibrosis, or increase surface tension, such as pulmonary edema. Compliance also decreases with aging and certain diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Does fiber decrease heart disease?
Yes
