Can you get lung cancer at the age of sixteen?
yes, sadly you can get lung cancer at any age.
What are the strengths of the bell jar model of the lungs?
The bell jar model of the lungs is a simple representation that helps illustrate how changes in pressure impact lung volume and air flow. It is useful for conceptualizing basic principles of lung mechanics, such as inspiration and expiration. Additionally, it can assist in understanding the relationship between pressure differentials and lung expansion.
what is a restrictive lung disease?
These are a category of extrapulmonary, pleural or parenchymal respiratory diseases that prevent lung expansion leading to a decreased lung volume, an increased in breathing difficulty and inadequate ventilation.
Does age make a difference in lung capacity science fair projects?
Yes age does make a difference in lung capacities because as you get older your body changes such as how you breathe, when you get tired while running for a short time, and how you can eat more than someone else younger than you.
What age do get lung cancer?
It can happen at any age

What does mylar changes in the right lung mean?
It may mean that there are changes in how much the patient is able to exhale into the mylar balloons frequently used to measure lung function.
What is a sentence for thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the dimensional changes exhibits by solids, liquids, and gases for changes in temperature while pressure is held constant.
How can PFTs help to distinguish whether a lung disease is obstructive restrictive or both?
In obstructive lung disease airways are narrowed which results in resistance to air flow during breathing. In restrictive lung disease, expansion of the lung is limited by disease that affects the chest wall, pleura, or lung tissue itself.
