Changes in cell number, size, and function associated with aging are likely to impact on lung physiology, metabolism, and immunity. Such changes could significantly alter the normal functions of the lung and its susceptibility to injury. Aging of canine lungs has many similarities to that seen ...
1 Endothelial cells play a key role in maintaining the normal function of the pulmonary artery. The dysfunction of endothelial cells initiates the pathological process of pulmonary vascular diseases such as PAH.2 Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were reported to be distributed mainly in the bone ...
Based on the results of lung function tests, participants were classified into three groups: the normal lung function group included patients with FEV1 ≥ 80% of predicted and FEV1/FVC ≥ 0.7; the PRISm group included patients with FEV1 < 80% of predicted value and FEV1/FVC ...
How Our Lungs Work: Main Processes & Function from Chapter 21 / Lesson 2 33K Our lungs work by bringing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide so that our cells work properly. Explore the main processes and function of the lungs and learn about the lungs' role in inhaling and exhaling...

COVID-19 and Your Lungs SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, is part of the coronavirus family. When the virus gets into your body, it comes into contact with the mucous membranes that line your nose, mouth, and eyes. The virus enters a healthy cell and uses the cell to make ...

Single-exhalation method for study of lobar and segmental lung function by mass spectrometry in man A single-exhalation method, based on a modification of the conventional single-breath technique, was applied to study lung function in normal subjects duri... DM Denison,NJH Davies,M Meyer,... ...
“At these levels, you’ve essentially doubled the risk of cardiovascular complications relative to individuals with normal blood pressure.” Dr. Whelton continued. “Our aim is to be forthright. Recognizing this doubling in risk is crucial. It doesn’t necessarily prescribe medication, but it ce...
