The human body fights off bacteria in two ways. First, the friendly bacteria that live inside your body kill off the invaders. Second, failing that, white blood cells (leukocytes) -- specifically Neutrophils -- step in and kill the invaders, taking their bodies to your colon after neutralization.
The problem is, in order for either of these processes to work, both healthy bacteria and leukocytes need a fluid to move about in. When it comes to your lungs, fluids are bad (pneumonia). Ideally, once the bacterial infection is eradicated, the body will expel the fluid and the lungs will return to normal function.
Modern medicine often dictates that antibiotics is the appropriate coarse of action in events like this. However, this should be reserved only for cases where death of the patient is imminent. This is because in addition to killing the bad bacterial invaders (pathogens) the antibiotics also kill the healthy bacteria that make up your immune system. This compromises your immune system and if the pathogens are immune to the antibiotics -- which is becoming more and more common -- this course could cause prolonged illness or even death.
Ideally, a body with a healthy diet and an adequate supply of vitamin C will heal itself in due course. Since not having a healthy diet with an adequate supply of vitamin C was probably what made the person sick in the first place, ideally that should be the first place to start when looking at fighting off an infection.

Which lung has the middle lobe?

What are each part of your lungs called?
Bronchial Tree- Brings air from the trachea(windpipe) to the alveoli CardiaC Notch- Provides room for the heartLarynx-Contains the vocal cordsDiaphragm-Muscular membrane under the lungsLeft Inferior lobe- Bottom lobe of the lung on the left sideLeft Superior Lobe- Top Lobe of the lung on the left sideRight Inferior Lobe-Bottom lobe of the lung on the right sideRight Middle Lobe-Middle lobe of the lung on the right sideRight Superior Lobe-Top lobe of the lung on the right sideTrachea-Windpipe
Why is it that the right side of the LUNGS is bigger than left side?
Its bigger because the right lung has more lobs then the left lung.
Where on each lung are the caudal lobe cranial lobe middle lobe?
Most human beings are born with 1 pair of lungs, a left lung and a right lung. The left lung holds both the cranial and caudal lobes . The right lungs holds the middle, cranial and caudal lobes.
What is the most common site for lung abscess?
posterior segment of right upper lobe followed by right lower lobe are the most common site of primary lung abscess
What are the two fissures of the right lung that divide it into a superior middle and inferior lobe respectively?
Horizontal fissure of the right lung and Oblique fissure of right lung.
How do you trace the path from the femoral Vein to the lower lobe of the right lung?
From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lumgs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom.
Why does the right lung have 3 lobes and the left have 2?
The left lung does not have a middle lobe, this makes room for the heart.

Name the lobes of the rat's lungs?
Pigs have 4 lobes in their right lung and 3 lobes in their left lung. The 3 lobes of the left lung are apical, cardiac, and diaphragmatic lobes.
How many lobes do the right and left lung have?
The right lung contains three lobes. The left lobe only has two. Because of the heart on the left side, the left lung only has two lobes to make more room for the heart to pump on that side.
What is the meaning of findings suggestive of PTB right lung and left upper lung?
PTB stands for Pulmonary Tuberculosis. It is located in your right lung, the upper lobe. You were exposed to the bacteria, could have been by a cough or sneeze.
