•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
What else can I help you with?
In COPD the PaCO2 will increase but the ventilation will not increase why?
ecause of air trapping and ineffective alveolar ventilation
What happens in Adult periodontitis?
It involves the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone
What is the difference between copd and empazima?
COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is an umbrella term that encompasses various lung conditions, primarily chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Emphysema is a specific type of COPD characterized by the destruction of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties. While both conditions cause airflow obstruction and have similar symptoms, emphysema focuses on the damage to the alveolar structures, whereas COPD includes a broader range of respiratory issues.
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/.
What is alveolar macrophages also known as?
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
What is alveolar ridge in Yoruba?
Alveolar ridge in Yoruba can be translated as "ilẹ̀ iigboori."
What is another name for alveolar?
Another name for alveolar is "dental." In phonetics, alveolar refers to sounds produced with the tongue against the alveolar ridge, which is the bony ridge located just behind the upper front teeth. Examples of alveolar sounds include the consonants /t/, /d/, /s/, and /z/.
Is copd the same as emphysema?
Emphysema is one type of COPD. There are others.
