What else can I help you with?
What happen to the lung if you are inhale?
it expand
Are there any exercises that can increase your breath-holding ability?
Look for an item called "expand-a-lung." Look for an item called "expand-a-lung."
What is it where the lung fails to expand because there is blockage of the air passages or pneumothorax?
In atelectasis, the lung fails to expand because there is a blockage of the air passages or pneumothorax.
What type of connective tissue allows lung to expand and recoil?
Elastic connective tissue is responsible for allowing the lung to expand during inhalation and recoil during exhalation. It provides the necessary elasticity to maintain the shape and function of the lung during breathing.
What does a collapsed lung refer to?
A collapsed lung is caused by air collecting in the space around your lungs. The lung cannot expand as it normally does due to the pressure caused from the buildup of air.
What will happen if you prick the balloon is lung model?
If you prick the balloon in a lung model, it simulates a condition like a punctured lung or a collapsed lung. This can lead to air escaping from the lung space, causing a loss of pressure and potentially compromising the lung's ability to expand and contract properly.
Why is the lung squishy?
The lung has to constantly expand and contract during the exchange of gases. Besides, the alveoli of the lung has to be moist and spongy in order to maximize the surface area to effect the maximum transfer of gases.
What changes in lung expansion with age?
The lungs lose elasticity so they expand less.
What happen when the lung fails to expand because air cannot pass?
you will choke and die
How does emphysema affect the structure and function of the lung compared to a normal lung?
Emphysema is a lung disease that damages the air sacs in the lungs, making them less elastic and causing them to collapse. This affects the structure of the lung by reducing its ability to expand and contract properly. As a result, the lung's function is impaired, leading to difficulty breathing and decreased oxygen exchange. In comparison, a normal lung has healthy air sacs that can expand and contract easily, allowing for efficient breathing and oxygen exchange.
What is a deep breath for lung ventilation called?
A deep breath for lung ventilation is called a "sigh." It involves a larger intake of air to help expand the lung tissue and improve oxygen exchange. Sighs can happen involuntarily as a reflex to maintain lung function.
What would be the effect of a pneumothorax (air in the intrapleural space) on the lungs and breathing?
The affected lung would collapse or not be able to expand fully, so lung ventilation would decrease.
