What is the difference between pulmonary hypertention and pulmonary fibrosis?
Pulmonary Hypertension is the term for the condition of elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. This is caused by narrowing of the pulmonary arteries due to various factors such as, genetics, certain types of heart disease and chronic lung diseases (COPD, sleep apnea, emphysema, etc.).Pulmonary Fibrosis is a scarring of the lung. Fibrotic tissue forms in place of the lungs' alveoli (air sacs) . As this fibrotic tissue thickens, it erodes the ability of the lungs to pass oxygen to the bloodstream.Some of the causes, as listed by the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (pulmonaryfibrosis.org) are:Inhaled environmental and occupational pollutantsCigarette smokingDiseases such as Scleroderma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus and SarcoidosisCertain medicationsTherapeutic radiation- Jeff Espina (Calico_Jack)

What organ in the heart where pulmonary circulation is started?
Your right side of the heart pumps blood in the pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary circulation should start from the origin of the pulmonary aorta.
Test used to measure the ventilation mechanics of the lungs?
One common test to measure lung ventilation mechanics is spirometry. This test involves measuring the amount and speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled from the lungs. It helps evaluate conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases.
What body system is spriometry?
Spirometry is a test that measures lung function, specifically the volume of air inhaled and exhaled by the lungs. It is commonly used to assess respiratory health and diagnose conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases. It is part of the respiratory system.
What part of your body will be affected by pulmonary diseases?

What diseases have a small vital capacity?
Diseases that can lead to a small vital capacity include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, and restrictive lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis. These conditions can result in decreased lung function and reduced ability to fully inflate the lungs, leading to a smaller vital capacity.
