Answer:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.

Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.

Answer:

inspiration

Explanation:

The ability if the lungs to stretch  due to contraction of  inter coastal muscles ensures that maximum air enters the lungs as the lungs expands,  and enough oxygen enter the alveoli to reach the blood,this is inspiration.

If inelastic collagen fibres replaces the elastic fibres, the failure of the lung to stretch outwards,increase in volume, deceases the lung capacity, thus maximum filling inspiration is prevented, and therefore low oxygen supplies to the needed organs.

Concepts in anatomy from the given options include:

  • The brain is composed of two hemispheres.
  • Each kidney contains approximately 6-10 pyramids.
  • The muscle on the back of the arm has three heads of origin.
  • Study of form.

<h3>What is anatomy?</h3>

Anatomy is a branch of biology that is concerned with the study of the structure of living organisms and their various parts.

Anatomy studies the position of body structures as well as the position of related structures or organs of the body.

Anatomy also studies how the structure of these body parts relates to their functions.

Therefore, concepts in anatomy from the given options are:

  • The brain is composed of two hemispheres.
  • Each kidney contains approximately 6-10 pyramids.
  • The muscle on the back of the arm has three heads of origin.
  • Study of form.

In conclusion, anatomy deals with structure of body parts of living organisms.
