Connection between Systems
Asthma affects the respiratory system and our ability to breathe. The respiratory system is connected to the circulatory system. The respiratory diffuses oxygen through the alveoli to the circulatory system to be distributed while carbon dioxide is sent the other way to be released and exhaled. When the airways are narrowed and swollen, this affects the efficiency of this transaction.
03
Effect On systems:
Normally, air moves through airways from our nose or mouth into the lungs in a tube called the trachea. The trachea divides into tubes called bronchi that pass through the lungs. At the end of the bronchi are small air sacs called alveoli that fill up with air. Oxygen passes through the airways in this order until reaching the alveoli where it dissolves into the capillary network to be distributed around the body.
