the cytoplášm of red blood cells, where its concentration is lower. Patients diagnosed with emphysema have damaged alveoli. This results to fewer, larger air spaces instead of many small ones. Explain how this damage can lead to shortness of breath? The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells. The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blooc cells. The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells. The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood cells.

Respiratory adaptation for gas exchange in plants and animals.
Asthma is a very common disease. It is characterized by widespread narrowing of the bronchioles and formation of mucus plugs, producing symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing, and is caused by the release of factors during an allergic response. Explain why the narrowing of bronchioles, rather than that of the larger bronchi, is the source of the airflow restriction, and why inhaling dilating agents can bring relief during an asthma attack.
In sickle cell disease: O poor oxygen binding causes deformation of red blood cells a mutation in the B-chain of hemoglobin causes hemoglobin to polymerize into fibres that distort red blood cells. O the oxygen binding curve of hemoglobin must be shifted to the left hemoglobin is no longer able to bind oxygen myoglobin is not longer able to bind BPG.
In many hospitals , immunocompromised patients such as those undergoing bone marrow transplants , are placed in positive pressure room where the air pressure is higher than that found in the adjoining corridor. the same hospitals may keep patients suffering from tuberculosis . in negative pressure rooms where the air pressure is lower than that in the corridor . explain why the apparent disagreement between these two strategies

What important detergent lines the alveoli in the lungs and keeps the alveoli expanded? None of the other answers Mucous Surfactant Plasma
What is the role of the alveolar macrophages and what happens if they do not function properly? They are type of phagocyte. If not functioning properly, the patient is at increased risk for pulmonary infection. They are type of eosinophil. If not functioning properly, the patient is at increased risk for an allergic reaction.. They are type of monocyte. If not functioning properly, the patient is at increased risk for tissue necrosis. They are type of monocyte. If not functioning properly, the patient is at increased risk for pulmonary infection.
When a person develops a fever, which of the following statements hemoglobin saturation are correct? - Modify the structure of hemoglobin and decrease its affernity for O2 - Can shift the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to the right - Decrease O2 unloading occurs in the tissue - Modify the structure of hemoglobin and increase its affernity for O2 - Can shift the O2 hemoglobin dissociation curve to the left - Enhance O2 unloading occurs in the tissue
True or False and why. "If a person exhibits alveolar partial pressure for oxygen equivalent to that of the humidified inspired air, then this could mean that alveolar ventilation and capillary blood flow are above normal rates".
Respiratory epithelial cells are involved in mucus maintenance within the airway. Explain theroles of pumps, channels, and carriers in this process – emphasize CFTR’s role in chloridepassage, and how chloride triggers water movement which maintains the mucus fluidity in theairway.
