Identify the body system that controls lung function and what other systems are affected by reduced lung function?
The respiratory system controls lung function. Reduced lung function can affect the cardiovascular system by reducing oxygen delivery to tissues, the immune system by increasing susceptibility to infections, and the musculoskeletal system by limiting physical activity due to decreased oxygen supply.
What is reaction that can be reduced due to lung damage?
Many things can be slowed down and otherwise adversely affected by lung damage. The lungs' most important function, breathing, is certainly one of these things that is affected when the lungs are damaged.
What organs are affected by the pleural thickening?
Pleural thickening affects the lining of the lungs (pleura) and can lead to reduced lung function, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Over time, it can also affect nearby organs such as the heart and diaphragm by restricting their movement.
What types of pollution contributes to asthma reduced lung function and respiratory diseases such as bronchitis?
The types of pollution that contribute to Asthma, reduced lung function, and respiratory diseases include suspended particles (such as dust and soot), fibers (asbestos), and harmful compounds (hydrocarbons, ozone). Smoking, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhausts account for the majority of these irritants.
What are the symptoms of pectus excavatum?
Most people have no symptoms, but if the breastbone is pushed back far enough, heart and lung function may be affected.
How does angina affect the circulatory system?
Lung cancer reduces lung function (just before it kills you). The reduced lung function means there would be less gas exchange taking place, which means less oxygen getting to the body.
What organ is affected by silicosis?
Lung.
What if your lung capacity is 77 percent - you are 74 years old is this a good reading?
It means that 23% of the lungs are not functioning, normally from smoking. Because someone is 74 years old does not mean that they should suffer from reduced lung function.
Explain Why do people who smoke heavily had to breath heavily?
Heavy smoking can lead to lung damage, reduced lung function, and inflammation in the airways, making it harder for oxygen to pass through. This can result in difficulty breathing and the need to breathe heavily to compensate for the decreased lung capacity and efficiency.
Which organs and body systems are affected by lung cancer?
The respiritory system would be impaired (depending on the stage of the cancer). As the word "lung" & "respiritory" suggests, the person may have trouble breathing, and may be short of breath.
What organ would be affected by a condition by pleurisy?
The lung is one organ that is affected.
What systems contain the lung?
respiratory
