Damaged air sacs have a lower amount of air surface. This reduces the amount of gas exchanged because the larger the surface the larger the amount.

What is the part of alveoli in our body?
There are about 300 million alveoli in each of your lungs. These tiny air sacs provide an ideal site for the diffusion of gases into and out of the blood - also known as gaseous exchange. The alveoli have a very large surface area - in fact if all of the alveoli in your lungs were spread out flat they would cover the area of a tennis court. This large surface area is the result of all the alveoli being small spheres - it is another example of the importance of the surface area- to-volume ratio. If your lungs were simply two large balloon-like structures, the surface area wouldn't be big enough for you to get enough oxygen by diffusion to supply the needs of your cells. But each alveolus is a very tiny sphere. The smaller the radius of a sphere, the bigger the relative surface area - halving the radius increases the relative surface area by a factor of four. The millions of tiny alveoli in the human lungs are a very effective adaptation which provides a huge surface area for gaseous exchange into and out of the blood. The alveoli have a good air supply from the bronchioles and a rich blood supply. This is vital for successful gaseous exchange because it maintains a steep concentration gradient for oxygen from the air in the alveoli to the blood, and for carbon dioxide from the blood to the alveoli.
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.
What were the old exchanges?
The old exchanges has to do with track relay events in the USA changing from yards to meters. As a result of this conversion, the relay exchange zones had to be reconfigured and remarked on the track.
Which disease involve the breakdown of the AIR SACS?
Emphysema is a disease that involves the breakdown of the air sacs in the lungs. This condition is typically a result of long-term exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, leading to damage and destruction of the alveoli. Emphysema can result in difficulty breathing and reduced lung function.
What is the smallest function unit of respiratory system?
The smallest functional unit of respiratory system is alveoli. Gaseous exchange takes place here. * The alveoli are attached to bronchules. * bronchules to bronchus. * bronchus to trachea the windpipe.
Why does a damaged alveoli result in less gas exchange?
because it keeps all the nitro oxide in.
What may result when the burning of fossil fuels releases gaseous nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides in the atmosphere?
The gaseous nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides can react with other compounds in the atmosphere to form acid rain. This acid rain can damage ecosystems, soil, and water bodies, leading to decreased biodiversity and impacts on human health.
What Global exchanges occurred as a result of European Expansion overseas?
im asking the same fcking question
Does 10000mg of tylonal always result in liver damage?
does 10000Mg of tylonal allways result in liver damage
Around the wall of each air sac in the lungs web of?
This web is a large 'ball' of capillaries. The millions of tiny alveoli in the human lungs are a very effective adaptation which provides a huge surface area for gaseous exchange into and out of the blood. The alveoli have a very large surface area – in fact if all of the alveoli in your lungs were spread out flat they would cover the area of a tennis court.This large surface area is the result of all the alveoli being small spheres – it is another example of the importance of the surface area: volume ratio.
What is the result when you eat a banana and drink milk at the same time?
You will have temporary gaseous issues after the effects kick in.
Which circumstance best describes a long term result of the crusades?
Cultural exchanges between the Middle East and Europe grew.
