He underwent an open lung biopsy in an attempt to delineate radiology of his pulmonary situation‚ and this was recorded as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and alveolitis.

The bronchial tubes are very important to us in breathing because it is the passageways to allow air to enter

How lungs Work Your lungs are part of a group of organs and tissues that all work together to help you breathe. This system is called the respiratory system. The main job of the respiratory system is to move fresh air into and get waste gases out of the body. Lungs are very important because Oxygen‚ a basic gas‚ is needed by every cell in your body in order to live. The air that comes into the body through the lungs contains oxygen and other gases. In the lungs‚ the

Symptoms associated with asthma include coughing‚ chest tightness‚ wheezing‚ and breathlessness which causes the person to increase their respiratory drive. This increased effort to breathe can lead to hypoxia and hypercarbia due to gas trapping in the lungs. This can potentially lead to haemodynamic instability and respiratory arrest if not treated properly. Asthma triggers vary from person-to-person‚ however the most common causes of asthma are allergens‚ respiratory tract infections‚ air pollutants

down and forwards through contraction in order to increase the size of the thoracic cavity and compress the abdominal viscera. When the diaphragm contracts and pulls down the central tendon it flattens in result. Thus‚ allowing the lungs to be pulled down and the lung capacity to increase. Unlike most muscles in the respiratory system‚ the diaphragm is unpaired. In contrary‚ there are 11 pairs of both external and internal intercostal muscles. The intercostal muscles originate at the inferior surface
