respiratory disease
•Asthma
•COPD
asthma
•the reversible narrowing of the respiratory airways causing inflammation and increased mucus production.
Symptoms:
Triggers:
control:
COPD
•a group of lung conditions that make it difficult to empty air out of the lungs because the airways have been narrowed.
•long term bronchitis & emphysema.
Symptoms:
Triggers:
control:
respiratory structure
increased surface area and elasticity of alveoli / increased tidal volume (TV).
capillarisation around alveoli allowing for greater gaseous exchange / increased diffusion of O2 and CO2.
mechanics of breathing
increased strength and endurance of respiratory muscles / lungs more efficient / increased TV.
decreased breathing frequency / delayed respiratory fatigue.
