How do the lungs affect or assist the circulatory system?

Answer 1

the purpose of the lungs in circulatory system is breathe in and out, supply oxygen to the blood And remove poisons and damaged blood cells .
Easy, they fill up with air when you breathe in, and they push the air out when you breathe out.
I think the function is to oxygenate blood.
The lungs bring oxygen in to the body,but to get in the body the circulatory system takes out the oxygen and passes it around the blood stream
The function of the lungs in your circulatory system is to help you breath,and starts the air in your body,

do you even science ?
blood

Answer 2

The lung or pulmonary system is the essential respiration organ in all air-breathing animals, including most tetrapods, a few fish and a few snails. In mammals and the more complex life forms, the two lungs are located in the chest on either side of the heart. Their principal function is to transport oxygen from the atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere. This exchange of gases is accomplished in the mosaic of specialized cells that form millions of tiny, exceptionally thin-walled air sacs called alveoli.

In order to completely explain the anatomy of the lungs, it is necessary to discuss the passage of air through the mouth to the alveoli. Once air progresses through the mouth or nose, it travels through the oropharynx, nasopharynx, the larynx, the trachea, and a progressively subdividing system of bronchi and bronchioles until it finally reaches the alveoli where the gas exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place.[2]

The drawing and expulsion of air (ventilation) is driven by muscular action; in early tetrapods, air was driven into the lungs by the pharyngeal muscles, whereas in reptiles, birds and mammals a more complicated musculoskeletal system is used.

Non respiratory functions

In addition to their function in respiration, the lungs also:

• alter the pH of blood by facilitating alterations in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide
• filter out small blood clots formed in veins
• filter out gas micro-bubbles occurring in the venous blood stream such as those created after Scuba diving during decompression.[5]
• influence the concentration of some biologic substances and drugs used in medicine in blood
• convert angiotensin I to angiotensin II by the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme
• may serve as a layer of soft, shock-absorbent protection for the heart, which the lungs flank and nearly enclose.
• Media:Immunoglobulin-A is secreted in the bronchial secretion and protects against respiratory infections.
• maintain sterility by producing mucus containing antimicrobial compounds.[6] Mucus contains glycoproteins, eg mucins, lactoferrin,[7] lysozyme, lactoperoxidase.[8][9] We find also on the epithelium Dual oxidase 2[10][11][12] proteins generating hydrogen peroxidde, useful for hypothiocyanite endogenous antimicrobial synthesis. Function not in place in cystic fibrosis patient lungs.[13][14]
• Ciliary escalator action is an important defence system against air-borne infection.The dust particles and bacteria in the inhaled air are caught in the mucous layer present at the mucosal surface of respiratory passages and are moved up towards pharynx by the rhythmic upward beating action of the cilia

Answer 3

The lungs primary role is for gas exchange. It allows Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the body's organs/muscles to leave the body via the bloodstream and Oxygen (O2) to enter the bloodstream to the body's organs/muscles.

Answer 4

it affect the circulatory by covering the heart

Answer 5

they provide oxegen for the blood so the heart can pump helpful cells to the body instead of dead ones.

Answer 6

lungs remove the carbon dioxide from blood and trun into oxeygen
