IMBALANCES+DISORDERS
Pneumonia-Infection of the lungs, alveoli become filled with fluid or puss
Pulmonary Embolism-Blood clot in one of the arteries that goes to the lungs causing shortness of breath and become deadly
-
Deviated Septum-When the nasal septum is curved or crooked, making it slightly harder to breathe

BREATHING MECHANISM
Gasses travel from an area of high pressure to low pressure. The intercostal muscles and the diaphragm are both important to the process of respiration as they contract and relax. Gas from the outside will only enter the lungs when the pressure in the lungs drops.(Remember high to low) When INSPIRATION occurs, the volume of the lungs is increasing from contraction of the muscles and the diaphragm moving down. This causes the intrapulmonary pressure to decrease to below the atmospheric pressure. EXPIATION, the diaphragm will move back up making the vloume decrease again making the pressure increase.
When the intrapulmonary volume changes, so will the intrapulmonary pressure
