The document discusses how smoking causes damage to the lungs and respiratory system. It begins by describing how tobacco smoke moves through the respiratory tract and deposits carcinogens and toxins in the lungs. A person who smokes a pack a day for 40 years will have inhaled smoke from over 290,000 cigarettes, placing them at high risk for diseases like COPD and lung cancer. Tobacco smoke irritates the lungs over time, scarring the tissue and reducing lung function. The document also reviews previous reports from the Surgeon General that established smoking as a leading cause of respiratory diseases.
The respiratory system introduces oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide through a series of anatomical structures including the nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged between the blood and air by diffusion. Diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease make breathing difficult by constricting the airways or destroying lung tissue. Lung cancer, commonly caused by smoking, is treated through surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy depending on the cancer type and stage.
The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system. It describes the organs of the respiratory system including the conducting zone which carries, filters, humidifies and warms incoming air, and the respiratory zone where gas exchange occurs. It explains the process of breathing including how air passes through the nasal cavity and larynx into the trachea and bronchi. It also discusses pulmonary ventilation, the transport of respiratory gases, and diseases that can result from smoking or vaping such as emphysema and lung cancer.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) refers to a group of lung diseases including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The main symptoms are shortness of breath and reduced activity levels that worsen over time. Smoking is the leading cause and damages the lungs by destroying elastic fibers in the air sacs. Treatment focuses on quitting smoking and managing symptoms through medications, supplemental oxygen, pulmonary rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery. Yoga practices like breathing exercises and poses can help relieve symptoms and reduce stress.
1. The document describes how to construct a model of the lungs using plastic bags, tubes, and a plastic jug to demonstrate how lungs contract and expand through breathing.
2. When the rubber sheet covering the jug is pressed, it simulates exhalation by pushing air out of the plastic bag "lungs" through the tube. Releasing the pressure simulates inhalation as the lungs expand again.
3. The model demonstrates how the diaphragm and pressure changes cause the lungs to contract and expand to inhale and exhale oxygen through the windpipe during respiration.
The document summarizes the key functions and components of the respiratory system. It explains that the respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide through breathing. The mouth, nose, trachea, lungs and diaphragm work together to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide in a gas exchange that occurs in tiny air sacs called alveoli. The diaphragm contracts to pull oxygen into the lungs and relaxes to pump carbon dioxide out.
This document discusses the lungs and their functions, including how air moves through the respiratory system during breathing. It describes common lung conditions like COPD and how smoking is a major cause. The effects of pollution, smoking, and bacteria on lung health are explained. Ways to care for lung health, such as avoiding pollution and keeping good hygiene, are also presented.
This document provides information on emphysema, including its causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Emphysema is a chronic lung disease that causes damage to the air sacs in the lungs. The main risk factor is smoking, which destroys the elastic fibers in the lungs over many years. Symptoms include shortness of breath and coughing. Diagnosis involves pulmonary function tests and imaging. Treatment focuses on quitting smoking and managing symptoms through medications, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery.

1) The respiratory system takes oxygen from the air we breathe and transports it to our tissues and organs via the circulatory system.
2) Air enters the nose or mouth and travels through the windpipe into the lungs, where oxygen passes into blood vessels. The blood then carries oxygen throughout the body.
3) Diseases like pneumonia, pulmonary edema, COPD and lung cancer can damage the lungs and affect breathing and oxygen exchange. Long-term smoking greatly increases the risks of respiratory diseases.
The document summarizes how the respiratory system works. It describes how air enters the body through the nose or mouth and travels through the windpipe into the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen passes into the bloodstream and is circulated throughout the body while carbon dioxide is removed. Problems like smoking, infections, and diseases can damage the lungs and disrupt this vital process of breathing and oxygen exchange.
The respiratory system enables oxygen to travel from the air we breathe into our lungs and then into our bloodstream. Air enters through the nose or mouth and travels down the trachea into the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen passes into the bloodstream and is circulated throughout the body while carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and exhaled.

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that carry air to the lungs. Chronic bronchitis develops when the airways are irritated over a long period of time, causing excess mucus production. Smoking is the primary cause of chronic bronchitis, as cigarette smoke contains chemicals that damage the airway lining and lead to increased mucus buildup. Treatment focuses on removing irritants like smoking and using medicines to open airways and clear mucus, while the best prevention is avoiding smoking and other lung irritants.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of lung diseases including emphysema and chronic bronchitis that cause airflow blockage and breathing problems. COPD is usually caused by smoking and long-term exposure to other lung irritants. It progressively worsens over time and is characterized by symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, and mucus production. While incurable, COPD can be managed through lifestyle changes, medications, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery to improve quality of life. Proper treatment aims to control symptoms and prevent exacerbations that can further damage the lungs.
Respiratory system
This presentation covers three section: Anatomy, physiology and the pathology. Anatomy covers the structure and the specialized tissues. Physiology section covers the process of breathing(inspiration and expiration) and the process of gas exchange(alveoli and diffusion).The last section pathology covers Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis and Cystic fibrosis and their symptoms and treatment in detail.
This document describes the structure and function of the respiratory system. It explains that the mouth and nose allow air entry, the trachea connects to the lungs, and the lungs exchange gases via alveoli. It outlines the process of breathing including inspiration and expiration powered by the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Gas exchange occurs in alveoli via diffusion. Several respiratory conditions are described such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis along with their symptoms and treatments.
Emphysema is defined pathologically as an abnormal, permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls and without obvious fibrosis. Together, emphysema and chronic bronchitis are known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and involves the enlargement of the air sacs in the lung.
The damage is permanent - not reversible - and it causes reduced respiratory function. When the hazards of smoking are bought up, the most common disease discussed is
cancer and no one brings up emphysema. Although, most cases of COPD, and therefore emphysema, are caused by cigarette smoking.
Emphysema is rarely caused by a congenital condition known as α1-antitrypsin
deficiency, for which there is a lab test.
The most common symptoms are breathlessness, or a 'need for air', excessive sputum
production, and a chronic cough. However, COPD is not just simply a "smoker's
cough", but an under-diagnosed, life threatening lung disease that may progressively
lead to death.
Doctors diagnose COPD and emphysema with lung function tests to measure lung capacity. Spirometry is used in diagnosis - to measure the volume of air a patient can
blow out in one second after a deep breath.
Treatment does not halt or reverse lung damage but eases symptoms and prevents exacerbations. Drugs and supportive therapies are the mainstay of emphysema treatment.
Drugs may include inhaled bronchodilators, corticosteroids and, when there is an infection, antibiotics.
Support therapy includes oxygen supplementation, nutrition, help with smoking cessation, and other educational interventions.
Surgical intervention, including lung transplantation, is reserved for severe cases of emphysema.
People with emphysema and COPD should have an annual flu jab and may be recommended for a pneumonia shot once every 5 years.
1) The document is a project report on diseases of the human respiratory system submitted by three students. It includes an introduction on the functions of the respiratory system and common conditions that can affect it.
2) The report then examines several specific respiratory diseases in more depth, including asthma, emphysema, occupational respiratory disorders, and bronchitis. For each disease, it discusses causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment methods.
3) The document concludes with a bibliography citing sources like textbooks, articles, and reference books that were used to research the topic.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, diseases where the airways become narrowed over time due to damage from cigarette smoke or other noxious particles. The main symptoms are shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production. A diagnosis is made through pulmonary function tests showing airflow obstruction. Treatment focuses on smoking cessation and medications to relieve symptoms and prevent exacerbations.
Introduction Yoga Therapy For The Management Of Respiratory DisordersShama
Dr. Shamanthakamani discusses yoga therapy for respiratory disorders. Slow, deep breathing techniques like pranayama can help balance the respiratory system and reduce stress, a trigger for conditions like asthma. Pranayama techniques like anuloma viloma and ujjayi strengthen lung muscles. Yoga postures and breathing practices work together to relax muscles and increase lung capacity. Studies show yoga can help manage diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and tuberculosis by bridging the voluntary and involuntary breathing systems.
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs. It can be acute (lasting less than 3 weeks) or chronic. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses and causes a cough with mucus, while chronic bronchitis is often caused by long-term smoking and causes daily cough and congestion. Symptoms include cough, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and quitting smoking can help prevent chronic bronchitis.
Respiration is the process by which organisms exchange gases with their environment. Oxygen is transported from the air to cells for oxidation reactions, while carbon dioxide and water produced from oxidation are returned to the environment. In single-celled organisms, gas exchange occurs directly through the cell membrane. In plants, gas exchange occurs through specialized organs called stomata located mainly in the leaves.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Lungs/tobacco/smoking and Alveoli tissue
Introduction
The respiratory system extends from the nose and upper airway to the alveolar surface of the lungs,
where gas exchange occurs. Inhaled tobacco smoke moves from the mouth through the upper
airway, ultimately reaching the alveoli. As the smoke moves more deeply into the respiratory tract,
more soluble gases are adsorbed and particles are deposited in the airways and alveoli. The
substantial doses of carcinogens and toxins delivered to these sites place smokers at risk for
malignant and nonmalignant diseases involving all components of the respiratory tract including
the mouth.
Consider, for example, the lungs of a 60-year-old person with a 40-pack-year smoking history
starting at age 20 years. By age 60 years, this person will have inhaled the smoke from
approximately 290,000 cigarettes and will bear a substantial risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) and lung cancer. The dose of inhaled toxic particles and gases received from each
of these cigarettes varies depending on the nature of the tobacco, the volume and number of puffs
of smoke drawn from the cigarette, the amount of air drawn in through ventilation holes as the
smoke is inhaled, and local characteristics within the lung that determine the diffusion of toxic
gases and the deposition of particles. Because of this repetitive and sustained injurious stimulus,
the repair and remodel process that heals the damaged lung tissue takes place at the same time the
lung’s defenses continue to deal with this unrelenting inhalation injury.
This document addresses the mechanisms by which tobacco smoke causes diseases other than
cancer in the lower respiratory tract: the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Beginning with the first
Surgeon General’s report in 1964[1], cigarette smoking has been causally linked to multiple
diseases and to other adverse effects on the respiratory system. In addition to causing lung cancer
and COPD, smoking increases the risk of death from pneumonia and causes chronic bronchitis [2].
Typically, the lungs of smokers show evidence of diffuse changes affecting the lining of the
airways, the epithelium, and the structure of the bronchioles, which are the smaller air-conducting
tubes.
2. Previous reports of the Surgeon General have also addressed the effects of smoking on the
respiratory tract. In discussing the plausibility of associations of cigarette smoke with chronic
bronchitis and emphysema, the 1964 report gave full consideration to the nature of tobacco smoke
and its effects on the respiratory tract [3]. That report concluded that cigarette smoking “… is the
most important of the causes of chronic bronchitis in the United States…” and that “a relationship
exists between pulmonary emphysema and cigarette smoking, but it has not been established that
the relationship is causal”. The 1984 report, which focused on COPD, covered mechanisms by
which smoking affects the lung’s structure and function and the deposition and toxicity of cigarette
smoke in the lung [4]. The report concluded that “cigarette smoking is the major cause of chronic
obstructive lung disease in the United States…”. The mechanisms of lung injury were considered
further in the 1990, 2004, and 2006 reports [5,6,7]
Impacts to alveoli
This seemingly perfect machine for breathing can break down or become less efficient because of:
disease
normal aging
smoking and air pollution
Smoking
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, tobacco smoke injures your lungs Trusted
Source and leads to lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
Tobacco smoke irritates your bronchioles and alveoli and damages the lining of your lungs.
Tobacco damage is cumulative. Years of exposure to cigarette smoke can scar your lung tissue so
that your lungs can’t efficiently process oxygen and carbon dioxide. The damage from smoking
isn’t reversible.
Pollution
Indoor pollution from secondhand smoke, mold, dust, household chemicals, radon, or asbestos can
damage your lungs and worsen existing lung disease.
3. Outdoor pollution, such as car or industrial emissions, is also harmful to your lungs.
Disease
Chronic smoking is a known cause of lung disease. Other causes include genetics, infections, or
compromised immune systems. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer can also
contribute to lung disease. Sometimes the cause of lung disease is unknown.
Lung disease has many types, all of which affect your breathing. Here are some common lung
diseases:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway obstruction from damaged
alveoli walls.
Asthma. Inflammation narrows your airways and blocks them.
COPD. Damage to the alveoli causes them to break down, reducing the surface area
available for gas exchange.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The walls surrounding the alveoli become scarred and
thickened.
Lung cancer. Cancer can start in your alveoli.
Pneumonia. The alveoli fill with fluid, limiting oxygen intake.
Aging
The normal aging process can slow down your respiratory system. You may notice that your lung
capacity is lessened, or that your chest muscles are weaker.
Older people also tend to be more at risk for pneumonia, both bacterial and viral.

Alveoli and lung health
Limit your exposure to pollutants
Use an air cleaner or purifier at work or at home to reduce indoor dust and fumes. You can also
wear a mask, if you’re exposing yourself to extra dust, mold, or allergens.
Be aware of days when outdoor air pollution is high. You can find forecasts online for
4. air quality
pollen counts
wind speeds and direction when you look up weather forecasts in your area
On days when the air quality index (AQI) is at an unhealthy range, keep your exposure minimal
by keeping doors and windows closed and circulating air inside.
Decrease how often you smoke
Number one on the list for keeping your lungs healthy is to not smoke.
If you’re interested in ways to quit, there are new methods to try, such as nicotine replacement
therapy. You can also check out blogs for people trying to quit. Or join a support group, such as
Quit Now: Freedom from Smoking, sponsored by the American Lung Association.
Take care of your health
Get regular health checkups to know how your physical health is doing in general.
Maintain a strong immune system. This can include keeping up-to-date with vaccinations
and flu shots.
Eat a healthy diet, with a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein sources.
Get regular exercise. Exercise helps keep your lungs in good shape by making them work
harder.
Experimental
Build a Lung Model Step-by-Step
1. Have an adult help you cut the 2-liter bottle in half; you will only use the top part; discard the
bottom and the bottle cap.
2. Cut a square of plastic from the bag. Make it big enough to cover the large opening of the cut
bottle (about 8”). Don’t worry about getting the edges perfectly straight!
5. 3. Stand the bottle top on the table and place the sheet of plastic over the large opening, use a large
rubber band to secure it around the bottle. Gently pull the edges of the plastic, so it is tight across
the top.
4. Cut off the excess plastic next to the rubber band.
5. Put the straw into the balloon and seal the opening around the straw with several pieces of tape.
Blow gently on the end of the straw to make sure air goes into the balloon. If the balloon doesn’t
puff out a little, seal it around the straw better so air cannot escape.
6. 6. Put the balloon end into the bottle’s opening and use modeling clay to secure the straw to the
bottle so that air can only pass through the straw.
7. Fold a piece of tape in half with sticky sides together leaving the ends exposed (only stick the
tape together in the middle). Attach the sticky ends to the bottom of the plastic.
8. Use the tape tab as a handle and gently pull down slightly on the plastic and watch what happens
to the balloon. Now push up gently while watching the balloon.
Results and discussion
The contraption you built is a model of how your lungs work! The plastic at the bottom works like
your diaphragm—a strong muscle that expands and contracts to cause your lungs to fill with air
and then empty out again. The movement of the balloon matches your breathing – when you
breathe in, your lungs fill with air just like the balloon did. That’s because the diaphragm expanded
making room for air to get in through the straw (which represents your airway, or trachea). When
you breathe out, your diaphragm contracts (or squeezes in) pushing all the air out of your lungs.
7. The same thing happened in your soda bottle model – when you pulled down on the plastic, the
balloon inflated slightly and when you pushed up, the balloon deflated! Inside your body, you have
two lungs that work together, and the diaphragm is below them. Air goes in and out of both of
your lungs at the same time. This model just represents one lung.
Conclusion:
This fake lung demonstrates how our lungs work. Air is taken in through the mouth and nose,
passes down the windpipe and into our lungs. The diaphragm at the bottom of our chest moves
down to create more space. As we breathe out the diaphragm raises again. The knotted balloon
represents the diaphragm and the balloon inside the container the lung. That’s how lungs work!!
