The bronchial tubes connect the trachea (breathing tube) to the lungs.
lungs
This is called the Respiratory System. It allows the body to breathe and receive air.
The fluid between the lungs and chest wall can affect respiratory function by making it harder for the lungs to expand and contract properly. This can lead to difficulty breathing and decreased oxygen exchange in the body.

This is called the Respiratory System. It allows the body to breathe and receive air.
Asbestosis primarily affects the lungs by causing scarring of the lung tissue. It can lead to breathing difficulties, coughing, and chest pain. Over time, it can also affect other organs such as the heart and the lining of the chest cavity.
Basal chest infection refers to an infection that affects the lower parts of the lungs, specifically the basal segments. This type of infection can lead to symptoms such as cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive measures to help manage symptoms.
As we age, there is a decrease in the flexibility and elasticity of the chest wall due to changes in the structure of the bones, cartilage, and connective tissue. This increased rigidity can lead to decreased chest wall compliance, making it harder for the lungs to expand fully and decreasing overall lung function. Regular physical activity and breathing exercises can help maintain flexibility in the chest wall and support lung function as we age.
If bacteria enters the lungs, it can cause an infection known as pneumonia. This can lead to symptoms like cough, fever, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to clear the infection.
Pleurisy is primarily caused by viral infections, such as the flu or pneumonia, which lead to inflammation of the lining of the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). Other causes include bacterial infections, autoimmune conditions, and lung diseases like tuberculosis or lung cancer.
