Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

This is mostly found in our genetics for
the development of this disease.
This disease gets worse over time
Air sacs and airways will lose their
ability to stretch
The air sac walls will be destroyed
Wall of the airways would be inflamed
and thicker.
Airways are clogged with mucus.

Bronchitis
This is inflammation of
the bronchial tubes.
This carries air to and
from your lungs
People with this will
cough up thick mucus.
