J84.00: Alveolar and parieto-alveolar conditions Without acute exacerbation
The airways in your lungs are diseased.
You need lungs to breath. When you breathe in, the air with the oxygen passes through the airways to the lungs. The respiratory tract ends in the air sacs in the lungs. Oxygen passes into the blood in the pulmonary alveoli (air sacs). The pulmonary alveoli and the airways are surrounded by supportive tissue. This supportive tissue consists of connective tissue.
The air sacs in your lungs or connective tissue next to the air sacs are diseased.
