Emphysema

It is because as your nails grow they loose support from the nail bed.

The above answer is false. My nails are very short and they grown downwards also.

It may be a vitamin deficiency OR it could be a health related isue such as heart or respiratory problems. I have emphysema and know for a fact this is true.

Good Luck.

A blood clot on the lung is called an emboli. The term embolus means the process of forming emboli.

Asthma is not a virus or a bacteria. It is a chronic lung condition that is characterized by airway constriction and inflammation. Asthma is not a contagious disease.

Patients is a virtue, … but what does that mean? A virtue is something a person has to work on - it takes time and effort. Most people are not that swift of an entity. If a person is aware of how smart they are, and that not all are blessed with that level of intelligence, it may help you to be patient. This seems to be the fastest way to help people to be patient, and it works for everyone, regardless of how smart they are or are not. The next time your impatient, remember what I said, and if you start to laugh, not to worry, I did to.

it slowly kills you. ---- Emphysema is most often caused by long term exposure to cigarette smoke, or exposure to other irritants (people who used to work in coal mines often develop emphysema).

The irritants gradually damage the alveoli in the lungs, destroying their elasticity and shape. This results in a smaller surface area for gas exchange between the alveoli and blood vessels to take place. This results in less oxygen being absorbed and delivered to body tissues. The person with emphysema will therefore get very short of breath very quickly when carrying out day to day activities.

*IT* Doesnt

Emphyesma is when alveoli die.

how does it affect them...

Well it would affect them like it affects every other cell in the body.

(decreased O2)

but it acually doesnt affect the alveoli

it just happens

when they die

Emphysema IS a respiratory problem. Emphysema is one of many conditions that are collectively called COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Early stage (of any condition or disease) means, generally speaking, "it has recently started showing signs and symptoms". In emphysema, this begins with chronic lung irritation and inflammation.

The person's lungs are not moving air well in emphysema. Also irritants cause increased production of phlegm, which can reduce air movement, hence, diminished breath sounds.

yes, it also depends on the person, a doctor may have you carry an O2 tank around

Increased airway resistance and reduced elastic recoil.

Causes severe early dyspnea, scanty sputum, and hyperinflation.

It can be if untreated.

Yes many times but when helped you might have the chance of living.

C.O.P.D effects your body greatly. It blocks the airways of the lungs with thick mucus, making it difficult for the sufferer to breathe

Emphysema is destruction of the lungs. It is usually caused by smoking but can also be from other toxins or genetics. The decreased lung tissues causes the airways to collapse and wheezing to be heard.

air sacs

Hope I helped! Ace that test :P

Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath due to over-inflation of the alveoli (air sacs in the lung).

Cigarette smoking is by far the most dangerous behavior that causes people to develop emphysema, and it is also the most preventable cause.

Treatment for emphysema can take many forms. Different approaches to treatment are available. Generally, a doctor will prescribe these treatments in a step-wise approach, depending on the severity of your condition.

C.O.P.D. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a terminal disease brought on through smoking. C.O.P.D is a group of diseases including Emphysema and Asthma and others that cause a reduction in the ability to breath and eventually death.

It comes at the end, like this:man'uv-wôr'

Emphysema can't be cured, but treatments can help relieve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Depending on the severity of your emphysema, your doctor may suggest one or more different types of surgery.

The exact causes is still not known but it is believed to be caused by inhalation of polutant. These stuffs cause immune reaction that somehow destroy your alveoli.

And/or smoking can cause emphysema, weakening/eating away the thin skin tissue of your lungs.

. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide and it takes place in the alveoli.

2.Cilia are hairlike structures found in the trachea and bronchi that move in unison in a wavelike manner to expel mucous and anything trapped therein.

3. C shaped cartilaginous rings. The posterior side is flexible so food can pass through the esophagus.

6.Tidal Volume is the amount of air you move in and out of your lungs on any given breath. Vital Capacity is the amount you can exhale after a maximal inhalation.

I will not do 4 & 5 for you. Look them up yourself. You need to learn this stuff.

It increases their RV (residual volume) and FRC (functional residual capacity) due to air trapping. It decreases the FEV1 and takes longer to finish their FVC (forced vital capacity) because of decreased flow rates. It also decreases the DLCO (difusion capacity) because of alveolar wall distruction.

It is mostly just the tobacco. First, tobacco is often allowed to ferment, and the fermentation can create carcinogens. Then there may be carcinogenic additives. Then there is the smoke that is produced by burning the tobacco and the paper. Burning things often create carcinogens.

About 100,00 people in the United States suffer from this disease
