It is one of the most basic physiological activities of the human body and a necessary physiological process for maintaining metabolic functions. Pathological changes in the lungs refer to the mechanisms of occurrence, development, and transformation of lung diseases. In other words, when the lungs become diseased, they cause a series of pathological changes in the body, such as the abnormal movement of qi (vital energy), respiration, and other symptoms.
