Gas exchange in the alveoli is closely connected to how we breathe. However, there are some challenges:
Inefficient Breathing: When we breathe in an irregular or shallow way, less air gets to the alveoli. This means we take in less oxygen () and don't get rid of enough carbon dioxide ().
Diffusion Problems: Certain health conditions, like lung disease, can make it hard for gases to move in and out. This can limit how well gas exchange happens.
To fix these problems, we can use specific methods. For example, practicing controlled breathing techniques can help. Also, using extra oxygen therapy can improve how well the alveoli work. This way, we can make sure that gas exchange is happening as it should.
