Why do alveoli die in emphysema?
Destruction of alveoli reduces the surface area for gas exchange
What disease is referred to the destruction of the alveoli?
Emphysema.
What is the destruction of alveoli due to age or by respiratory irritants called?
emphysema
What is the destruction of alveoli walls?
The destruction of alveoli walls refers to the damage or breakdown of the tiny air sacs in the lungs, which are essential for gas exchange. This condition is often associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly emphysema, where the elasticity of the alveoli is lost, leading to reduced oxygen absorption and difficulty in breathing. As the alveolar walls deteriorate, the surface area for gas exchange decreases, resulting in impaired lung function and respiratory distress. This destruction can be caused by factors such as smoking, long-term exposure to pollutants, and genetic predispositions.
Reduced gas diffusion because of the destruction of alveoli is a medical condition known as?
The medical condition known as reduced gas diffusion due to destruction of alveoli is called emphysema. It is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) characterized by the progressive damage to the lung tissue, leading to decreased ability to efficiently exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
What connects the respiratory and circulatory system?
Alveoli
Destruction of the walls of the alveoli producing abnormally large air spaces that remain filled with air during exhalation?
This condition is known as emphysema. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that results in the destruction of the walls of the alveoli, leading to decreased gas exchange in the lungs and difficulty breathing. It is commonly caused by smoking and results in symptoms such as shortness of breath and coughing.
What type of condition is emphysema?
The name is emphysema , not emophysema . It causes destruction in the alveoli in our lungs .So the affected person can't breathe properly and hyperventilation occurs .
What structure of the human respiratory system is altered by emphysema?
destruction in the air sacks distal to the terminal bronchiol or in simple term the destruction of alveoli. The chest usually become hyperinflated due to the excessive action of sucking the air in due to the obstruction
What is the functional unit of lungs?
alveoli
What are the air sacs in your lungs?
Alveoli alveoli - air sacs in your lungs
What are the tiny air sacs called in the bronchi branches?
Alveoli
