EMPHYSEMA

Clinical Manifestations
  • Emphysema is a chronic disease makes normal breaking difficult. The disease weakens and breaks down the walls between the tiny air sacs in the lungs. The causes air to collect in larger spaces, instead of many small ones. The air contacts less lung tissue this way, and less oxygen is passed into the bloodstream.

    Air travels to the lungs by two major passageways called bronchi. These large airways further divide into tens of thousands of smaller airway routes called bronchioles. At the end of the bronchioles are groups of air sacs, or alveoli. There are about 300 million of these sacs in each lung. These tiny air sacs stretch like balloons when you breathe in, then move oxygen through their thin walls into the blood. The sacs also move carbon dioxide out of the body when you breathe out.

    Emphysema patients have weakened air sacs. The thin air sac walls can no longer stretch and contract properly, causing them to break. Air becomes trapped in spaces where sacs have broken, and cannot be released. This makes it harder to breathe.
