Pneumonia, Due to aspiration or exposure to bacteria - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Bacteria works its way to the lungs
- - - - Mucus membranes hypertrophy
      - Capillary permeability increases
        
        Excess amount of fluid in the alveoli
        
        Fluid and debris in the alveoli form areas of consolidation and become solid
        
        Signs and symptoms of pneumonia
        
        compromises blood vessel wall to allow for flow of molecules, including bacteria, in and out of vessel
        
        Infection in blood stream produces a strong immune response
        
        Sepsis occurs in the blood due to the body's strong and harmful immune response as it battles the infection
        
        Blood Pressure can plummet during the immune response -septic shock.
        
        Leading to a decrease in oxygen perfusion to the body's cells
