Do the lungs work closely with the heart?
Yes. They work closely. They are placed in your chest close to each other, physically also.
What two organs are found in the thoracic cavity?
Which organs are located in each of the sub cavities
How pulmonary system and systemic system are differ from each other?
The pulmonary system goes from heart to lungs to heart while the systemic system goes from heart to body to heart
What is the definition of interaction?
Intermediate action., Mutual or reciprocal action or influence; as, the interaction of the heart and lungs on each other.
Each system of the body can work independently with no help from any other systems true or false?
False. All body systems rely on each other. For example, the lungs cannot breathe with out the heart because the heart takes the oxygen poor blood from the body and supplies the lungs with it to circulate oxygen rich blood to the rest of your body.
How does inter help understand the meaning of interaction?
Intermediate action., Mutual or reciprocal action or influence; as, the interaction of the heart and lungs on each other.
Why is it beneficial to have the heart and lungs in a close promximity?
The lungs are the organs that bring oxygen into your body, and your heart is the organ that pumps this oxygen around the body via the blood. So it would make sense for two organs that needed to work together to be close to each other. In addition, they are two of the most important organs and are in the torso of your body along with most of the other important organs such as the liver, stomach, etc. This means in a life threatening situation you can protect your vital organs easier because they are in the same area.
Where is the heart anatomically relative to the diaphragm?
Enclosed in its own little sac (pericardium), the heart rests on the diaphragm, between the lower borders of the lungs, the middle of your mediastinum (center chest), and in the thoracic region of your spinal cord. Essentially, if you take your right fist, place it between your L breast and your center "breastbone" that would be the approximate size and location of your heart.
How do you kiss in Club Penguin?
You get really close to each other with your nose touching and give the heart sign DONE!
How are circulatory and respiratory systems different?
The circulatory system is where the heart exchanges de-oxygenated blood for oxygenated blood from the lungs to go through the veins and arteries. As for the respiratory system, this is involving the lungs in exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen, through the process called breathing. The heart and lungs depend on each other. If the lungs does not give blood its needed oxygen, then all the organs would fail, causing a horrible death, and if the heart does not keep the lungs alive, with fresh blood (that the lung gave oxygen to) then the lungs would fail, causing the heart to go into a heart attack.
What does the pulmonary vein do?
Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atria of the heart. Brings blood from the lungs to the heart.
Are the lungs contralateral to each other?
True
