Pulmonary Disease Management
The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in humans. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs called alveoli. When there is damage to the lungs, breathing, one of the most essential functions of the human body become affected. Any changes or damage to the lung should be taken seriously and be evaluated by the Pulmonary Department.
