To the nonsmokers who are exposed in inhaling the cigarette smoke have a high risk of lung cancer and respiratory diseases.
Lung cancer will effect the blood gas-exchange system, as damaged lung tissue, may cause difficulty in the exchange of gas from the air into the blood stream, and may cause cyanosis, deeper breathing, and even asphyxia (death, which is caused by insufficient amount of oxygen into the brain cells).
the organ that is involved in gas exchange is the lung. the specific lung structure that is the site for gas exchange is the alveolus which is part of the alveoli, which is found in the lung.
You'll get lung sickness such as lung cancer.
They are the alveoli.
gas exchange
The majority of people who get Lung Cancer according to some studies, is smoking. There are other ways to get Lung Cancer like second hand smoke, radon gas and Asbestos.
Carbon monoxide
The alveoli are the final branchings of the respiratory tree and act as the primary gas exchange units of the lung.
Lung cancer reduces lung function (just before it kills you). The reduced lung function means there would be less gas exchange taking place, which means less oxygen getting to the body.
Alveoli
Land snails have a simple lung that is located next to their psudo-heart. This lung helps them exchange gas through a air hole located near the anterior posrtion of the head. Snails also have breathable skin, which aids in small levels of gas exchange with the atmosphere.
