Which parts of lung cells manufacture the protein in mucus?
Inside a lung cell is cytoplasm and inside that are things called ribosomes. These are the things that synthesize proteins or manufacture proteins which go into the mucus.HOPE THIS HELPS!
What are the characteristics of bronchiolitis?
The lung tissue begins to swell and produce mucus, and the cells lining the bronchioles begin to slough off into the air passages. As the airways narrow from swelling, and mucus accumulation, breathing becomes difficult
What organelles dominate in lung cells?
The main organelles found in lung cells include the nucleus, mitochondria for energy production, endoplasmic reticulum for protein synthesis, and lysosomes for waste disposal. Additionally, lung cells contain a high number of specialized organelles called pneumocytes, which are responsible for gas exchange in the alveoli.
What two ways do ciliated cells help to protect the lungs?
Ciliated cells in the lungs help protect the airways by trapping inhaled particles, such as dust and pathogens, in mucus. The cilia then move in a coordinated fashion to sweep this mucus out of the respiratory tract, preventing accumulation and infection. This mucociliary escalator mechanism is essential for maintaining lung health and clearing irritants. Additionally, ciliated cells help humidify and warm the air entering the lungs, contributing to overall respiratory function.
What kind of cells takes nutrientes and oxygen throuhout your body?
Red blood cells are responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. They contain the protein hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues. Nutrients are also transported by red blood cells to different parts of the body.

Smoker's cough results from damage to the external structure of lung cells by tobacco smoke What part of the cell would you predict is damaged?
Smoker's cough results from damage of the cells that line the trachea which have cilia. The cilia are damaged so that the mucus cannot be moved and therefore be swallowed. Coughing helps to remove the mucus. Also smoke irritates the cells of the trachea and produce the cough
Why doesn't gene therapy cure cystic fibrosis?
Although a normal gene is introduced into a patient's surface cells in the lung, these cells are not the ones that need to produce the highest levels of the missing transport protein. The virus carrying the normal gene cannot reach the deep lung cells where the normal gene is most needed.
Can mucus in the lungs cause death instantly?
If someone were to orotracheally intubate you and pump mucus down the tube, yes you could die. Instantly? No. Accumulation of mucus in the lungs is most commonly associated with chronic bronchitis, one of the two diseases composing COPD. Typically, this is associated with smoking because of a protein in smoke that suppresses a protein whose job is to prevent overproduction of mucus in the lung tissue.
What is the purpose of a normal CFTR protein in the body?
The normal CFTR protein helps regulate the flow of salt and fluids in and out of cells, particularly in the lungs and digestive system. This helps maintain the right balance of mucus and prevents it from becoming thick and sticky, which can lead to problems like lung infections and digestive issues in conditions like cystic fibrosis.
How is the lung function affected by fibrosis?
The mucus that forms from cystic fibrosis affects the gas exchange in humans. The build up from cystic fibrosis can affect the gas exchange by increasing carbon dioxide and decreasing oxygen.

What are lung cells?
cells that's make up the lung
What is an acute infection of the lung filled up with mucus?
Pneumonia
What is the scientific name for lung cells?
Pneumocyte. There are two types: Type I cells make up the lining of the air sacks (alveoli) in the lung, type II cells produce a slick liquid called surfactant that helps coat the alveoli and keep them from collapsing when we exhale.
What are lung cells and what do they do?
Lung cells are little bubbles that take in air and take out air
