INTRODUCTION
It is challenging to breathe when you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive lung condition. It is characterized by inflammation and airway constriction and includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Normal structures and function of the body system affected
The key structures impacted by COPD are the lungs, bronchi, and alveoli. Through the process of respiration, these structures' typical purpose is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Normal age-related changes in function to the body system
As we age, changes in the lung tissue, such as reduced flexibility and muscular weakness, may cause the lung function to decline.

Definition of the disease
COPD is a chronic, progressive lung condition that makes breathing challenging. It is characterized by airway constriction and inflammation.
Causes of the condition including risk factors
Long-term exposure to irritants including cigarette smoke, air pollution, and certain chemicals is the primary cause of COPD. Smoking, being around secondhand smoke, and having a history of respiratory infections are all risk factors.
Population most often affected
Older persons and those who smoke or have a history of smoking are most likely to develop COPD.

Signs and symptoms of the condition
Breathing difficulties, coughing, and increased mucus production are some of the most typical signs of COPD. Other signs may include weariness, wheezing, and tightness in the chest.
