N5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Pulmonary and Shock Module 6

Age related Difference in pulmonary anatomy and physiology 1. Describe the age-related changes which occur in the alveoli, chest wall, and gas exchange. (pg 1244-45) ● Alveoli: During adulthood and as age advances, the alveoli tend to lose alveoli wall tissue and capillaries. This process diminishes alveolar surface area available for gas diffusion and decreases airway support provided by normal lung tissues. ● Chest Wall: Mechanical changes involve elastic properties of the lungs and ...
