What is an illness of the lungs which causes the air sacs to expand and lose their 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 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.
With which disorder do the alveolar walls lose their elasticity become over-inflated and eventually rupture?
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.
Can you lose an alvioli?
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.
What causes the arteries to lose there elasticity?
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 in the tissues of the lungs is called what?
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.
What can happen to the alveoli if the lungs get damadged by smoking or disease?
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
What is a noninfectious chronic respiratory condition that occurs when the walls of the alveoli deteriorates and lose their elasticity is?
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.
Respiratory Structure Mainly Affected by Emphysema?
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.
What is it called when arteries become thick and lose elasticity?
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.
What destroys rubber and causes it to deteriorate?
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.
What diseases affect the alvioli?
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.
Does your butt lose elasticity when it jiggles or is it getting toner?
If it jiggles, it is losing elasticity. We all will go through that.
