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.
The heart and lungs are so close together because the lungs have oxygen that are pumped into the heart so it can go into the blood stream. The lungs don't have blood but they transmit oxygen to the heart for the blood stream.
The organs protected by the rib cage include the heart, lungs, stomach, and liver.
The heart is both medial AND deep to the lungs.
because it feels your blood supply with air to carry to the brain and throughout the body.
There is more than one organ in there... Mainly the heart and lungs, but there are also parts of the digestive tract.
During CPR the lungs and heart are stimulated.
well, the answer is so simple, a frog's heart needs oxygen which is required from the lungs therefore the circulatory system (blood/heart) needs oxygen from the respiratory system (lungs). since they are so close together, both system have easy access to one another.
The rib cage protects the lungs and heart.
What behaviors can harm you lungs and heart?
Medial basically refers to being in the middle. Lateral basically refers to on or at the sides. The lungs are located on either side of the heart, so they are lateral to the heart.
Yes. They work closely. They are placed in your chest close to each other, physically also.
Blood vessels, the heart, and the lungs are significantly strengthened by cardiovascular exercise.
