Good morning
my friends, I will share information about diseases that can attack the
lungs.
before I
explain these diseases, I will explain a little about the lungs.
Lungs are
respiratory organs located inside the chest cavity and above the diaphragm. The
diaphragm is a partition muscle that borders and separates the chest cavity and
abdominal cavity.
The lungs
consist of two parts: left and right. The left lung is composed of two lobes,
while the right one of three lobes.
Lungs
functionThe lungs is
the organ that is vital to human life because no human lungs could not live.
Excretion in the system, the lung serves to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and
water vapor (H2O).
Now I will
explain some of the diseases that can attack the lungs
Lung Disease
Chronic Obstructive
Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has the characteristics of airway
limitation that is not fully reversible. COPD is a long-term disorder in which
there is damage to lung tissue progressively with increasingly severe shortness
of breath. COPD mainly includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, two disorders
that often occur together.
symptoms:
The main
symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production (ripple). Sputum
is the material removed from the lung, bronchus, and trachea through the mouth.
Usually also called expectoratorian.
Cause:
Air in and
out of lungs and inhibited the ability of the lungs to take oxygen to meet the
normal needs of the body is reduced. By far the largest contributor to the risk
factor of COPD is smoking.
Conclusion
If you don’t
want to get lungs disease, avoid smoking and air pollution as well as the
diligent exercise and keep eating.
