I would think so. The right lung has three lobes and is larger than the two-lobed left lung, which must make room for the heart. Also, females are generally smaller than males, so their lung capacity is about 20% less, and..believe it or not..taller people generally have longer lungs, so they have more capacity than short people!

How will an obstruction in the right primary bronchus affect how oxygen-dissociation for the right lung compare with the left lung?

An obstruction in the right primary bronchus will reduce air flow to the right lung, leading to inefficient oxygen exchange. This could result in lower oxygen levels and altered oxygen dissociation in the right lung compared to the left lung, which receives adequate airflow.


Why does an increase in temperature cause the oxygen dissociation curve to shift to the right?

when we excercising, tissue generates heat.those heat would increase the temperature of the neighboring cell, that exercise and need more energy. thus, more oxygen is needed, making the graph shift to the right because hemoglobin release oxygen faster to accord the increasing demand during exercise.


How does the temperature of water affect the amount of oxygen dissolved in it?

The temperature of water affects the amount of oxygen dissolved in it. Generally, colder water can hold more oxygen compared to warmer water. This is because cold water molecules are closer together, allowing more oxygen molecules to dissolve in the water. Conversely, warmer water molecules are farther apart, making it harder for oxygen to dissolve.


What organs are on the right side of your body?

Organs on the right side of the body include the liver, gallbladder, right kidney, and parts of the small and large intestines. The right lung and part of the heart are also located on the right side.


Why do we have two lungs instead of just one?

We have two lungs instead of one to increase the surface area available for oxygen exchange and to provide redundancy in case one lung is damaged or compromised. Having two lungs also allows for more efficient breathing and oxygen distribution throughout the body.

Does your lung holds more air than your left lung?

A natural human pair of lungs have the small right lung and the larger left lung to allow room for the heart. So to answer your question your left lung will hold more.


Why cancer more often in the right lung?

maybe because there is a bit more lung on the right side of the chest than on the left side.


Why is the apex of the right lung more likely to have tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis seems to be more common in the right lung rather than the left lung due to the short right trachea. Anatomically the left trachea is longer than the right one due to the position of the heart and the major vessels. As a result microbes can more easily navigate to the right lung rather than the left lung.


Witch lung takes in more air left or right?

the lung are the same in the capacity,,,


Which is more electronegative O or Se?

Oxygen (O) is more electronegative than Selenium (Se) because oxygen is higher up and to the right in the periodic table, which increases its ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond.


How pranayam helps to get more oxygen?

Pranayama helps to increase your lung capacity.


Why does the pig have more lung lobes than a human?

The respiratory system in a pig uses bronchial tubes leading to the lungs, which means that the air takes a little longer to get to the lungs. The extra lobes hold extra oxygen so that the pig isn't deprived oxygen.


Does the right lung have more lung capacity than the left lung?

First it's larger, second the left lung is sharing space with your heart..


Is lung capacity better higher or lower?

Higher. This means your lungs can hold more air.


Why is it so hard to hold your breath for a long time?

It is VERY dangerous to hold your breath for long periods of time. The human body can only last about 2 minutes without oxygen before making your lungs breathe in more. When you hold your breath, your heart uses the oxygen you used in your last breath. Once it's done, it needs more right away. Your body runs on oxygen like gas! The heart begins to notice that there is no more oxygen in your lungs, and takes action right away. It tells your lungs to open up the "air tube" and breathe more oxygen. The longer you hold your breathe, the more your heart panics and forces the lungs to breathe.Be smart and don't torture you're body.


How right and left lungs are different?

The Left lung is smaller and has only two lobes, but the right lung is bigger and has three lobes also has less room because youe heart is located on your left side so thats why it is smaller and lighter.
