Question

Some of the features of respiratory disorders that caused by smoking are given below,

Identify the disorder.

• Reduces respiratory surface

• Reduces vital capacity​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Emphysema destroys the walls of the alveoli of the lungs, resulting in a loss of surface area available for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. This produces symptoms of shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing

2. Total Lung Capacity

And at a microscopic level, when fewer alveoli are present (due to destruction by cigarette smoke), or air can't reach the alveoli (due to cigarette-related damage to the airways and build up of mucus), the intake of breath is also affected. These forces all work together to decrease lung capacity
