Pathological illnesses called respiratory disorders damage the tissues and organs of animals that breathe air, making it difficult for gases to be exchanged.
They cover issues with the bronchi, bronchioles, trachea, alveoli, pleurae, pleural cavity, and respiratory muscles and nerves.
There are several respiratory ailments, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Bronchitis, emphysema, TB, and obstructive respiratory disorders.
COPD:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease refers to a range of respiratory conditions that impair regular exhalation or result in breathlessness.
Shortness of breath and coughing up sputum, or lung mucus, are two major symptoms of COPD.
Because COPD can develop for a long period without showing any symptoms, or because the symptoms might be confused with those of normal aging, COPD is challenging to diagnose.
One of the main causes of COPD is cigarette smoking.
Emphysema is a severe respiratory condition brought on by COPD.
It lessens the respiratory surface and harms the alveolar walls.
This disorder makes it difficult for patients to exhale air from their lungs.
There are instances where breathing requires the use of extra oxygen due to respiratory insufficiency.
Lungs' airways become swollen and thickened as a result of COPD, and the tissue that exchanges oxygen is also destroyed.
Lungs' ability to take in and expel air slows down.
When this occurs, less oxygen gets to the body's tissues, making it more challenging to expel the waste gas carbon dioxide.
