Age
Changes in gas exchange
Pulmonary surface decreases
Chest wall elasticity and respiratory muscle strength decrease
maximal expansion decreases
Alveolar sacs less elastic
enlarge
Decrease surface area
hypoxia
Surfactant
Increased pro inflammatory protein
Reduced anti-inflammatory concentration
Mechanical changes
Elasticity decreases
Chest wall stiffer
Chest wall compliance decreases
residual volume increases
Vital capacity decreases
Chasing in sensing mechanisms
Less air flow in and out of airways
caused by
The walls between many of the air sacs are destroyed.
The walls of the airways become thick and inflamed.
The airways and air sacs lose their elastic quality.
The airways make more mucus than usual and can become clogged.
Smoking
