COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary lung disease (COPD) is a lung disease in which the lungs are damaged, making it hard to breathe. In COPD, the airways- the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs are partly obstructed, making it difficult to get air in and out. The airways branch out like an upside-down tree, and at the end of each branch are many small, balloon-like air sacs called alveoli (al-VEE-uhl-EYE).

How smoking affects your body Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the name for a collection of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airways disease. People with COPD have difficulties breathing, primarily due to the narrowing of their airways, this is called airflow obstruction.

Interstitial Lung Disease All forms of interstitial lung disease cause thickening of the interstitium. The thickening can be due to inflammation, scarring, or extra fluid (edema). Some forms of interstitial lung disease are short-lived; others are chronic and irreversible. Some of the types of interstitial lung disease include: Interstitial pneumonia: Bacteria, viruses, or fungi may infect the interstitium of the lung. A bacterium called Mycoplasma pneumonia is the most common cause. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis : A chronic, progressive form of fibrosis (scarring) of the interstitium.

COPD  In-Depth Report Asthma is a chronic disease that involves inflammation of the lungs. Airways swell and restrict airflow in and out of the lungs, making it hard to breathe. The word asthma comes from the Greek word for panting.. People with asthma pant and wheeze because they cannot get enough air into their lungs.

- Common lung diseases include: Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles and episodes of airway obstruction. During an attack, the lining of the airways swell and the muscles surrounding the bronchi contract, narrowing the airway.

Overview Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of diseases that obstruct airflow from your lungs. They do this by constricting and clogging your airways, for example, with excess mucus, as in bronchitis, or by damaging or deteriorating your air sacs, as in alveoli. This limits the amount of oxygen your lungs can deliver to your bloodstream.

Asthma Asthma (or Asthma bronchiale) is a disease that hurts the airways inside the lungs. It causes the tissue inside the airways to swell. Asthma also causes the bands of muscle around the airways to become narrow. This makes it hard for enough air to pass through and for the person to breathe normally. Asthma also causes mucus-making cells inside the airways to make more mucous than normal.

Interstitial Lung Diseases Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis. Breathing in dust or other particles in the air is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include. Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust. Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust.

Lung Diseases Overview Diseases that affect the airways include: 1  Asthma: The airways are persistently inflamed, and may occasionally spasm, causing wheezing and shortness of breath. 2  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Lung conditions defined by an inability to exhale normally, which causes difficulty breathing. Chronic bronchitis: A form of COPD characterized by a chronic productive cough. Emphysema: Lung damage allows air to be trapped in the lungs in this form of COPD.

Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Diseases Restrictive Lung Diseases. People with a restrictive lung disease have a much more difficult time filling their lungs with air. This is a result of the lungs being restricted from fully expanding. Most of the time, restrictive lung diseases occur when there is stiffness in the lungs themselves. Sometimes, this can occur when there is stiffness in the chest wall, weak muscles or damaged nerves that can restrict the expansion of the lungs. These are some of the conditions classified as restrictive lung disease:

- COPD OVERVIEW. COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a condition in which the lung airways (bronchial tubes) become inflamed and narrowed and the air sacs become damaged. Smoking cigarettes is the most common cause of lung injury. As the lungs become more damaged over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to breathe.

Respiratory Diseases: COPD, Asthma & Allergies | Newsletter this Article. Diseases of the respiratory system occur primarily in the bronchioles and the alveoli. Much rarer, unless you count choking and drowning, are conditions that affect the larger passageways of the lungs such as the trachea and the bronchi.OPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a progressive disease generally caused by long term irritation to the lungs that makes it hard to breathe. It is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible.

Controlled Breathing Exercises for Pulmonary Fibrosis Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious respiratory condition that results in lung scarring. According to Mayo Clinic.com, injury to the deep tissue of the lungs will stiffen the area and make breathing difficult. Causes of trauma will vary. Long term exposure to environmental pollutants may be one factor.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive lung disease. This condition causes scar tissue (fibrosis) to build up in the lungs, which makes the lungs unable to transport oxygen into the bloodstream effectively. The disease usually affects people between the ages of 50 and 70.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) COPD is a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It is caused by damage to the lungs over many years, usually from smoking. COPD is often a mix of two diseases: 1  Chronic bronchitis (say bron-KY-tus). 2  In chronic bronchitis, the airways that carry air to the lungs (bronchial tubes) get inflamed and make a lot of mucus. 3  This can narrow or block the airways, making it hard for you to breathe. 4  Emphysema (say em-fuh-ZEE-muh).

Picture of the Lungs 1 Emphysema: A form of COPD usually caused by smoking. 2  The fragile walls between the lungs' air sacs (alveoli) are damaged, trapping air in the lungs and making breathing difficult. 3  Chronic bronchitis: Repeated, frequent episodes of productive cough, usually caused by smoking. Pulmonary fibrosis: A form of interstitial lung disease. 2  The interstitium (walls between air sacs) become scarred, making the lungs stiff and causing shortness of breath. 3  Sarcoidosis: Tiny areas of inflammation can affect all organs in the body, with the lungs involved most of the time.
