Difference between Breathing and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Breathing vs. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Breathing (or respiration, or ventilation) is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow.

Similarities between Breathing and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Breathing and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asthma, Gas exchange, Inhalation, Muscles of respiration, Perspiration, Shortness of breath, Tai chi, Thoracic diaphragm.

Asthma

Asthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.

Gas exchange

Gas exchange is the physical process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface.

Inhalation

Inhalation (also known as inspiration) happens when oxygen from the air enters the lungs.

Muscles of respiration

The muscles of respiration are those muscles that contribute to inhalation and exhalation, by aiding in the expansion and contraction of the thoracic cavity.

Perspiration

Perspiration, also known as sweating, is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.

Shortness of breath

Shortness of breath, also known as dyspnea, is the feeling that one cannot breathe well enough.

Tai chi

Tai chi (taiji), short for T'ai chi ch'üan, or Taijiquan (pinyin: tàijíquán; 太极拳), is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits.

Thoracic diaphragm

For other uses, see Diaphragm (disambiguation). The thoracic diaphragm, or simply the diaphragm (partition), is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle in humans and other mammals that extends across the bottom of the thoracic cavity.
