Lung efficiency can be reduced by a variety of factors, including smoking, which damages lung tissues and impairs airflow. Chronic respiratory conditions like Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can also limit lung function. Environmental pollutants, such as industrial emissions and allergens, further exacerbate respiratory issues. Additionally, physical inactivity can weaken respiratory muscles, diminishing overall lung capacity and efficiency.
Lung compliance increases with factors such as the distensibility of lung tissue, which can be enhanced by the presence of surfactant that reduces surface tension in the alveoli. Additionally, conditions that lead to the loss of elastic recoil, such as emphysema, can also increase lung compliance. Aging and certain lung diseases can further affect the structural integrity of lung tissue, contributing to increased compliance. However, excessively high compliance can lead to difficulties in exhalation and reduced respiratory efficiency.
All of them! Reduced lung function reduces the amount of oxygen in the entire body.
Friction.
false
It would be friction.<3 hope this helped
Yes, exactly.
Mainly as heat (thermal).
They are called pleura. There are 2 membranes, the visceral which is the outer slippery covering, and the parietal which is the inner covering, with a cavity in between them called the pleural cavity
Friction is a common factor that reduces efficiency by converting some mechanical work into heat. When two surfaces rub against each other, energy is lost as heat due to friction, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of a system. Lubricants are often used to minimize this heat loss and improve efficiency.
It means that 65% of a persons lungs are working, while 35% is not working, likely due to smoking. Emphysema is a good example of a disease that reduces lung capacity.
Pressure pulsations
The effect of a cracked diaphram in transmission is that it reduces the efficiency of the system.
