Atelectasis or lung collapse can occur uni or bilaterally. Often because air has entered the pleural cavity via a chest wound but can also be a result of a rupture of the visceral pleura. When air is inside the pleural cavity it is known as a pneumothorax. Treatment involves closing the "hole" and drawing air out of the pleural cavity using chest tubes. This allows the lung/s to reinflate and resume normal function. As each lung has its own separate pleural cavity, one lung can collapse without interfering with the other.

Which body part has a lower part called a lobe?

What is lower lobe consolidation of the lung?
Lower lobe consolidation of the lung refers to a condition where the air spaces in the lower part of the lung fill up with fluid, pus, blood, or other substances. This can be caused by infections such as pneumonia or aspiration of foreign material. It can present with symptoms like cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care to help clear the consolidation.

Having the vertebral column extend up into larger lobe of caudal fin; typically found in sturgeons and many sharks, also the type of tail fin in which the vertebral column turns upwards into the upper lobe, which is longer than the lower.
Four main area of the brain?

What is a temporal right lobe necroses?
It is when the brain cells in the far right and lower part of your brain die.
Will lower lobe of right lung regrow if rest if removed?
Yes due to stem cell research.
Which strategy is not suggested to lower the risk of Alzheimer's Disease?
electrical stimulation of the brain, particularly the frontal lobe
What is the difference between left lower lobe pneumonia and bilateral pneumonia?
You have 3 lobes on the right side and 2 lobes on the left (with a little bitty middle lobe in between on the left). When you have left lower lobe pneumonia it is at the base of your left lung. When you have bilateral pneumonia it is on both sides of the chest (right and left lungs), but it could be in any lobes(most commonly at the bases).
What are the main parts of the lower brain?
The different parts of the brain are: The frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, hypothalamus, cerebrum, brain stem ,and cerebellum.The nervous system is your body's decision and communication center.
