What is the lungs tissue called?
Lung tissue is alternatively called parenchyma. It is actually made up of clusters of soft, spongy air sacs known as lobules.
What are the tiny sacs of the tissue that makes up most of the structure in the lung?
They are called Alveoli, look that up on wikipedia, or in your textbook.
What is a saclike structure called of lung?
Lung sacs are called, "Alvioli" (al-vee-OH-lee)
What is the advantage of the structure of the lung tissue?
The tiny sacs insure that the maximum area of tissue can be in close contact with the blood vessels to facilitate gas transfer
What are the air sacs in the lungs that can damaged by smoking tobacco?
A lot of the lung tissue can be damaged by smoking, but you seem to be asking about the alveoli (singular = alveolus). These are small sacs surrounded by blood vessels that are located at the end of the various branches of the air passageways inside the lungs.
What Carbon dioxide is removed from the bloodstream by?
lungs
Why will the segment of lung tissue cut from the fetal pig sink when placed in water?
Healthy lung tissue from an adult pig will float in formalin because there is a (relatively) large volume of air trapped in the alveolar sacs. Fetal pigs haven't taken a breath yet, so there is no air in the alveolar sacs. This is why the lung tissue from a fetal pig will sink in formalin. Incidently, this is also how medical examiners can determine if a child was stillborn or was born alive and then died - check to see if a section of lung from autopsy floats in the formalin.
How do you get oxygen?
Oxygen is obtained from the atmosphere by a process called Respiration, this involves inhaling air and filling small air sacs in the lung, at which point the oxgen passes into the bloodstream through a process called Diffusion.
Whats the sacs of lung tissue?
alveoli are the little sacks in the lungs which expand to allow air in. they are very thin to allow gaseous exchanges to occur =)
What does emphysema affect?
It reduces the surface area because it reduces the number of alveolar sacs in a persons lungs.
Where is the lung cell found?
In the lungs? Can you please be more specific. There are lung tissues and sacs that aid in gas exchange called alveoli, but there really isn't a specific lung cell.
What is the difference between alveolus of the lung and the bronchus of the lung?
The bronchus of a lung is the tubes leading up to the alveolus of the lung. The alveolus of a lung is the small air sacs at the end of the bronchi (bronchus). The alveoli is where the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
