What are the tiny chambers lining the inner surface of a reptile's lungs?
These tiny chambers are called alveoli. They are not exclusive to just reptiles, but are part of the circulatory system of all vertebrates.
What is the name of the respiratory surface in humans?
The respiratory surface in humans is called the alveoli. These tiny air sacs in the lungs are where gas exchange occurs, with oxygen from the air we breathe passing into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide moving out.
What do the tiny hairs in your lungs act as when you inhale?
The lungs contain no tiny hairs.Some of the cells lining the airways in the lungs have tiny hairlike structures called cilia. The function of these cilia is to push mucus generated by other cells in the lining up out of the lungs to the esophagus where it can either be swallowed or coughed up. The function of this mucus is to collect dust particles, dead cells, etc. so that they don't build up inside the lungs.Cilia are common on many types of cells (especially on bacteria and protozoa) and are usually used as a means of propulsion to move the cell around.
What gasses are exchanged in the lungs?
There are two main gasses that are exchanged in the lungs: carbon dioxide and oxygen. The lungs use tiny air chambers called alveoli to take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide.
How many chambers does a cat have and how many chambers do humans have?
We really don't use the term chambers for lungs. We use the term lobes. Each lung consists of several distinct lobes. The right lung (the larger of the two) has 3 lobes - the superior, middle, and inferior lobes. The horizontal fissure separates the superior lobe from the middle lobe, while the right oblique fissure separates the middle and inferior lobes. The smaller left lung only has 2 lobes - superior and inferior - separated by the left oblique fissure. There are about 300 million alveoli in each of your lungs. These tiny air sacs provide an ideal site for the diffusion of gases into and out of the blood - also known as gaseous exchange.
What organs in the body are affected by asbestos?
lungs apex Hey hey Asbestosis affects the lungs and it can also indirectly affect the heart by causing heart failure. Hope this helped :)
What are tiny hairs in the windpipe are calleD?
hair lining the lungs and aiways are called cillia
What is function of the The nose?
Assuming you mean nostrils - they are the opening that leads to the lungs. As humans - we're supposed to inhale through our nose - as the tiny hairs in the nostrils trap dust etc before it reaches the lungs.
Who discovered tiny chambers by microscope?
Robert Hooke.
Why are frog's lungs smaller than humans?
because the frogs skin is served as a supplementary organ of gas exchange frogs use their tiny little lungs to breath when they are on land. so if they had huge lungs then they would just be in the way because the whole part of the lung was not in need! :D
What is the function of nose trils?
Assuming you mean nostrils - they are the opening that leads to the lungs. As humans - we're supposed to inhale through our nose - as the tiny hairs in the nostrils trap dust etc before it reaches the lungs.
What are the tiny hairs in the human body?
What sort of cell? Single celled organisms have many types. Human's have many different cells a few with types of 'hair'. Cillia on the cells lining the lungs for example.
