The air from your lungs has the same density as the air in our atmosphere. As a result a balloon inflated by a human using their lungs is unable to float.
These salamanders lack iodide in their system and therefor unable to grow lungs
The lungs has a negative pressure. When air enters that space, it fills in the lung cavity making the lungs unable to expand and collapse.
fish do not have lungs, so they are unable to breathe air as humans and mammals etc. do
Congestive Heart Failure
The lungs of people who do not smoke are subject to the same dangers as everyone else. However, they are able to fight off some problems that smokers are unable to. Also their lungs are better at exchanging CO2 and oxygen, and their lungs don't get black from smoking. Generally, nothing happens to the lungs of people who do not smoke. They live normal but healthier lives than smokers.
congestive heart failure
You would have severe breathing difficulties, or be unable to breathe at all. When a baby's diaphragm has a hole in it, it is call diaphragmatic hernia.
There are many reasons fluids, such as blood, can settle in the lungs. One of the ways is via Pulmonary Edema. It is also known as Congestive Heart Failure. In this case, an overworked or diseased left ventricle is unable to pump out all of the blood from your lungs. As a result the pressure builds in the ventricle, capillaries, veins as well as the lungs, causing the fluid to be pushed through the walls of the capillaries out into the air sacs. .
They provide a rigid cage for the action of the diaphragm to allow the lungs to expand. Without ribs, your chest would simply "suck in" whenever the diaphragm moved down, and you would be unable to breathe. This is why a "sucking chest wound" is so dangerous.... it's allowing outside air to surround your lungs, instead of having your lungs fill with air.
The lungs are the primary organ affected by emphysema.
It gets its oxygen through its nose and mouth from the atmosphere.
