Going up a mountain too fast can cause altitude sickness. This includes symptoms of nausea, dizziness, headaches, and shortness of breath due to the lack of oxygen in the thinning atmosphere.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): An umbrella term for a multitude of diseases. Lacking the ability to push air out of the lungs.

Emphysema: enlargement of the alveoli, causing a lack in elasticity.

Chronic Bronchitis: Excessive mucous caused by inhaled irritants. This results in a blocked airway.

Asthma: Inflammation of the airways due to a release of interleukins, IgE, and inflammatory cells, causing bronchospasms.

Tuberculosis: An infectious disease caused by a presence of the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Lung Cancer: Mainly caused by smoking or second-hand smoke. The three most common types of lung cancer are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma.

Hyperpnea: the increase of ventilation in response to metabolic needs.
EX: When exercising here is an increase in ventilation and when it stops, there is a decline in the flow of Carbon Dioxide.

Acute Mountain Sickness: Quick travel to altitudes higher than 8,000 feet will cause symptoms of headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. This is due to the  change in atmospheric pressure, as Oxygen levels lower.

Respiration is controlled by brain centers, chemoreceptors, and reflexes.

Respiratory centers are affected by chemicals, influence of the brain, pulmonary irritants and inflation reflexes.

Transport of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in the Blood

# data[].attributes.body
Oxygen diffuses out of the lungs while Carbon Dioxide diffuses into the lungs.

Oxygen in carried into the blood by dissolving in plasma or they are bound to hemoglobin in the red blood cell.

Carbon Dioxide is carried into the blood by dissolving in plasma, binding to the globin of the hemoglobin (carbaminohemoglobin), or they are transported as bicarbonate ions in plasma.

Pulmonary Ventilation: Volume and Pressure Changes

Pulmonary Ventilation: Volume and Pressure Changes

# data[].attributes.body
Pulmonary ventilation consists of gas flow into the lungs (inspiration and gas flow out of the lungs (expiration).

Depending on the volume change in the thoracic cavity, there is a pressure change that leads to a flow of gases to equalize pressure.

The relationship between the volume and pressure is Boyle's Law. Gases will fill always fill the container they are in.
