    LUNG DISEASE

    ● Many different types of lung diseases


    ○ In general, all lung diseases affects the respiratory system
    ● In a healthy individual with a properly functioned respiratory
    system:
    ○ Breathe in air containing oxygen and other gases into the lungs
    ○ In the lungs, oxygen moves into the bloodstream
    ○ Cells uses the oxygen and in return expels carbon dioxide
    ○ Carbon dioxide is then carried by the bloodstream back to the lungs
    ○ Exhale the carbon dioxide

    Lung disease disrupts this process causing serious health problems
