aEmphysema Emphysema is a long-term lung disease that results in the destruction of the alveolar walls. Many individuals have both bronchitis‚ which involves a long term couch with mucus‚ and emphysema. This condition is often referred to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. People with this disease do not get enough oxygen and suffer buildup of carbon dioxide in their blood. In normal breathing‚ air is drawn in through the bronchi and into the alveoli‚ which are tiny sacs surrounded

missing organs of the respiratory system: Nose and mouth (air enters) nasal cavity Larynx (both air and food move through) trachea Bronchi (large tubes leading to both lungs) lungs. 2. Each lung is surrounded by two layers of serous membrane known as pleurae. These are: Visceral pleura; covers the surface of the lung Parietal pleura; lines the thoracic wall The space in between is called the pleural cavity and it is filled with pleural fluid. This fluid assists breathing movements

after surgery‚ when they have pneumonia‚ a lung disease like (COPD)‚ or if they become on extensive bed rest. The patient may find that they can only take small‚ shallow breaths. Breathing this way makes it harder to get air into the patient lungs and can cause fluid and mucus to build up in the lungs. This could cause a serious lung infection like pneumonia. An incentive spirometer is a breathing exercise used to help a patient take deep breaths and keep lungs clear after surgery. Spirometer measures

the mouth and/or nose. The air flows into the pharynx(throat) and enters the trachea(windpipe). The air then flows into one of two bronchi‚ left bronchus and right bronchus. The left bronchus transports air to the left lung and the right bronchus transports oxygen to the left lung. The bronchi split into smaller bronchi‚ which split into even smaller tubes called bronchioles. The part of the Respiratory System described‚ nose to bronchioles‚ is called the respiratory tract. At the bottom of the bronchioles
