What is the most important factor in determining airway resistance?
The diameter of the airway is the most important factor in determining airway resistance. A smaller diameter increases resistance, making it harder for air to flow. Factors such as mucus, inflammation, and constriction can also affect airway resistance.
Airway resistance is affected primarily by the?
airway length - a large surface area means more friction airway radius - halving the radius increases resistance 16-fold flow rate
What changes the resistance in the respiratory pathway?
Resistance in the respiratory pathway can be influenced by several factors, including airway diameter, lung volume, and the presence of mucus or other obstructions. Bronchoconstriction, which can occur due to allergens or irritants, narrows airways and increases resistance. Conversely, bronchodilation, often induced by medications like beta-agonists, can widen airways and reduce resistance. Additionally, conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to chronic changes in airway resistance.
Is restrictive airway disease the same as reactive airway disease?
no
What primarily affect Airways resistance?
Airway resistance is primarily affected by the diameter of the airways, which can change due to factors like bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and mucus production. Conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to increased airway resistance by narrowing the air passages. Additionally, factors like airflow velocity and the presence of external pressure can also influence resistance levels. Overall, changes in airway structure and function play a crucial role in determining airway resistance.
What is reactive airway disease?
Reactive Airway disease is a euphemistic term for asthma. reactive airway disease is kind of like asthma but their are some huge differences such as treatments
Is there an ICD-10 code for reactive airway disease?
Reactive Airway Disease>493.90
How is a current affected across a wire if its resistance increases?
As the resistance increases the temperature will also increases....
What is airway resistance and how does it affect work of breathing?
Airway resistance refers to the obstruction or restriction of airflow in the respiratory passages. Increased airway resistance makes it harder for air to flow in and out of the lungs, requiring more effort and energy during breathing. This results in an increased work of breathing as the respiratory muscles have to work harder to overcome the resistance and maintain adequate ventilation.
A natural resistance to disease is an?
A natural resistance to disease is an??
What is an inherited disease that leads to airway obstruction?
Cystic fibrosis
How does the ac resistance of a diode change as the voltage increases?
When the voltage increases the temperature in the diode also increases. When the temperature in the diode increases, the resistance decreases.
