This leads to the air sacs filling with fluid and/or pus. ]]> 2019-03-07 06:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dshaki03/sjzhwq1wpy3k/wish/338726210 How does the infected lung impact pulmonary ventilation? dshaki03 https://padlet.com/dshaki03/sjzhwq1wpy3k/wish/338727601 The lungs are unable to add oxygen and remove carbon dioxide at the correct levels. This causes respiratory failure, proven by: 
-fast breathing
-struggling for air
-blue lips/fingernails]]> 2019-03-07 06:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dshaki03/sjzhwq1wpy3k/wish/338727601 Why are the alveoli compromised when a person has pneumonia? dshaki03 https://padlet.com/dshaki03/sjzhwq1wpy3k/wish/339186320 Oxygen exits through the alveoli and into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide enters the alveoli and exits the body during expiration. If fluid is in the sacs, oxygen and carbon dioxide cannot move throughout the body properly and causes difficulty breathing. ]]> 2019-03-08 06:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dshaki03/sjzhwq1wpy3k/wish/339186320 Signs/Symptoms ccreas14 https://padlet.com/dshaki03/sjzhwq1wpy3k/wish/339398615
