Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Paper

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the condition in which the alveolar wall is thickened by scarring, causes the patients to have shortness of breath, fatigue and lower the oxygen saturation. PF may have definable causes but in many cases, the causes remain unknown. Those cases with unknown causes called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Air is drawn in by the nose and mouth, passes through the bronchi to the bronchioles and finally reaches millions of alveoli. Around the alveolar is a group of many capillaries and between the alveolar wall and capillary membrane is a small space called interstitial space. Oxygen (O2) in the alveolar after inhalation goes through the alveolar wall, the interstitial space and capillary membrane to go inside the capillary
