Emphysema.
this could be cause by a condition called fibrosis where the alveoli walls scar and thicken making a larger diffusion distance. also causing the walls to lose elasticity. this could be cause by a condition called fibrosis where the alveoli walls scar and thicken making a larger diffusion distance. also causing the walls to lose elasticity. this could be cause by a condition called fibrosis where the alveoli walls scar and thicken making a larger diffusion distance. also causing the walls to lose elasticity.
This condition is known as emphysema. It is characterized by damage to the alveoli in the lungs, leading to a loss of elasticity in the alveolar walls. Over time, this can result in the alveoli becoming over-inflated and eventually rupturing, causing difficulty breathing and other respiratory issues.
The Alveoli itself can not be 'lost', but it is possible to lose their function. Alveoli can lose their ability to exchange Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide with Blood. They can lose their elasticity and eventually rupture. Once they have ruptured it is impossible to reverse, and the damage is permanent.
When the artery walls lose their elasticity, this is called arteriosclerosis. When this happens, the body has a tougher time circulating blood.
The loss of elasticity of the alveoli is caused by high pressure in the bladder causing an unsafe drop in blood pressure which will cause alveoli to lose their elasticity. It can also be caused by being overweight, underweight, or eating feces.
The alveoli lose their elasticity and thus when you breathe in, not as much oxygen is taken in and transferred to the red blood cells, this is why people who have lung disease or smoke get out of breath easily
Probably that is called as chronic fibrosing alveolitis. Very small particles, less than four micron size travel to the alveoli. Alveoli has got no much defence mechanism, but to give in to such an unnatural attack. Never in the history, you had such an insult in the form of pollution, before.
Emphysema mainly affects the alveoli within the lungs. Over time, the alveoli lose their elasticity and become damaged, causing difficulties in breathing and decreased oxygen exchange. This leads to symptoms like shortness of breath and coughing.
Over the course of time, the arterial walls are apt to lose elasticity, which limits the amount of blood that can surge through them and hence limits the supply of oxygen to the heart. This condition is known as arteriosclerosis.
Rubber deteriorates due to exposure to oxygen, heat, light, and certain chemicals. This process, known as oxidation, causes the rubber to become brittle, crack, and lose its elasticity over time.
Alveoli are the minute sacs inside the lungs that expand and contain a membrane that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, called respiration. One of the major diseases that affect the alveoli is emphysema. That is when the walls between the alveoli breaks down and they lose surface area and become less efficient at respiration.
If it jiggles, it is losing elasticity. We all will go through that.
