Here are some of the following pulmonary diseases:
*Gas trapping - inability get air out of the lungs
*Emphysema - a lung condition in which the alveolar air sacs are worn
*Chronic Bronchitis - a reversible lung disease in which there are inflamed airways
*Pneumothorax - a condition in which there is air inside the thoracic
*Pleural effusion - there is an excessive build-up of fluid in the pleural space
*Tuberculosis - an infectious disease that has been seen a recent rise in occurence.
The alveolar capillary membrane is divided into four layers namely the surfactant, actual tissue, interstitial, and the capillary epithelium. In the actual tissue layer, there are three types of cells which are the squamous pneumocytes, granular pneumocytes and macrophages helping together to support the alveoli.
