Maladies of Respiration Effects and Progression of Emphysema, Life Expectancy of a Person with Emphysema, Stages, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment of Emphysema
Abstract
Emphysema is related to the obstructive type of respiratory disease. In the condition, the destruction of lung tissues happens and directs towards the loss of alveolar walls. Due to the above property, the loss of the elastic recoil of lungs also takes place. Emphysema is observed due to the smoke or oxidant gases, an enhancement of the mucus secretion from the epithelial cells, partial paralysis of the cells of the respiratory epithelial cells, the removal of alveolar mucus membrane and an elimination of elastic tissues. Bronchiolar damage leads to an enhancement of the airway resistance. The lungs undergo floppy because of the removal of alveolar membrane. An interference also influences ventilation - perfusion ratio and leads to the occurrence of poor aeration of blood. The number of pulmonary capillaries also reduces especially because of the damage of lung tissues.
