•The normal airway is distended by alveolar attachments during expiration, allowing alveolar emptying and lung deflation. In COPD, these attachments are disrupted because of emphysema, thus contributing to airway closure during expiration, trapping gas in the alveoli and resulting in hyperinflation

ecause of air trapping and ineffective alveolar ventilation
What happens in Adult periodontitis?

What is condition with fibrosis of the lungs and increased size of alveolar chambers?
The medical condition surrounding the diagnostic criteria of fibrosis of the lungs and increased alveolar chamber size is known as emphysema, which is included in a group of respiratory diseases called chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).
What is the dangers for people around you if you smoke?
what happens to a persons lung when someone smokes around them that have copd
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.
Is Alveolar recoil lead to a decrease in intr-alveolar pressure?
NO
What is an example of compound alveolar?
The word "cat" is an example of a compound alveolar as it is composed of the alveolar consonants /k/ and /t/.
Is copd the same as emphysema?
Emphysema is one type of COPD. There are others.
What is alveolar macrophages also known as?
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
What is alveolar ridge in Yoruba?
