What four vessels drain into the left atrium?
Two pulmonary veins from the right lung and two pulmonary veins from the left lung.
How does positive feedback mechanism affect congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure simplified: The lungs are a low-pressure system. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs under little resistance within the lungs. If the lungs fill with enough fluid to increase the lung resistance to blood pumped from the right ventricle, and this resistance exceeds the ability of the right side of the heart to overcome this increased pressure, the heart will decrease its output of blood. The decrease in the heart’s output of blood causes less blood to flow to the kidneys and the kidneys expel less fluid in the urine. This causes more fluid to build up in the blood and in the lungs. This increased fluid in the lungs exacerbates the pressure backup cycle. This cycle of one system leading to an increase in another in life systems is often a death cycle—scientifically referred to as a positive feedback cycle. If something is not done to bring homeostasis back, the system will fail...heart failure. The first line of treatment is often a diuretic to help the kidneys expel excess fluid.
To what organ does blood go immediately after it leaves the right ventricle?
Lung
Why do the right side of the lung have more lobes than the left side?
cos
How do you trace the path from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the right lung via the right pulmonary artery?
From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lungs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom
Which serious lung infection causes the alveoli to fill up with fluid?
Pneumonia
What causes fluid in the lung?
i have just had x-ray got fluid in left lung, i take a drug for cml called dasatinib my doctor said it could be causing fluid retention so taking me of my medication for 1wk to see if there is any difference. hope there is

What does Rule out early infiltrate of right lung mean?
"Rule out early infiltrate of right lung" is information shared by your health care provider with the radiologist doing your chest x-ray. It means, "Make sure there's not a small fluid abnormality in the right lung."
If you remove fluid from one lung does the fluid from the other lung move back into the space?
no
What area does the right pleural cavity surround?
The right pleural cavity surrounds the right lung. It is the space between the lungs and the chest wall, containing a thin layer of fluid that helps reduce friction during breathing.
What does tar causes?
Tar Causes Lung Cancer.
Which lung has three lobes?
The right lung has three lobes.
What causes fluid around the lungs?
Abnormal fluid collection in the lungs can be caused by lung infections or heart problems. The biggest problem with it is that it causes shortness of breath that can lead to respiratory arrest.
What happens when blood fills lung?
the simple answer is drowning. Blood is a fluid just like water, and it causes the same effect as drowning.
Why is the left lung smaller than the right lung eft lung smallerthan the right lung?
to accommodate the heart
Are lung problems caused from your kidneys?
Most lung problems originate within the lungs, from a variety of causes. The only way the kidneys could contribute to or cause a lung problem is if the kidneys do not clear wastes and fluids, causing systemic fluid overload. For example, ascites, fluid in the abdomen, could cause pressure on the lungs and prevent the lungs from expanding fully. Severe kidney disease could lead to or be in conjunction with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) which causes a backlog of fluid/blood, which can affect the lungs. But generally, lung problems are caused by genetic/family history; respiratory allergies; chronic lung infections; smoking/chemical inhalation / pollution; or secondary to heart disease, etc.
