There are also medications that can be given to dry up the secretions, generally tried before the chest drain, if not an emergency situation.
What structures of the respiratory system prepare air for entry into the lungs?
The structures of the respiratory system that prepare air for entry into the lungs include the nose and nasal cavity, which filter, warm, and humidify the air. The mucus lining the respiratory tract helps trap particles and pathogens, while the cilia in the airways sweep the mucus and trapped particles out of the respiratory system.
Two organs in the chest?
Two organs in the chest are the lungs, responsible for breathing by bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide, and the heart, which pumps blood throughout the body to provide oxygen and nutrients to cells.
Fluid in the knee can it cause gane green?
Fluid in the knee, known as knee effusion, is typically not associated with gangrene. Gangrene is a serious condition caused by a lack of blood supply to tissues, leading to tissue death. However, if the fluid in the knee is infected (septic arthritis), it could potentially lead to tissue necrosis and gangrene if left untreated.
Does increase in tidal volume changes will accompany the loss of elasticity of the lungs associated with aging?
Yes, as elasticity decreases with age, the lungs may require an increase in tidal volume to maintain adequate gas exchange. This compensation helps overcome the decreased ability of the lungs to expand and contract efficiently. However, this increased tidal volume may lead to increased respiratory effort and potential respiratory muscle fatigue.
What does it mean to have fluid in your lungs?
If one has fluid in their lungs it probably means they have Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This is a problem in which the heart cannot pump blood to the other organs.
Does fluid arounds lungs mean either TB or CANCER?

What produces lubricating fluid that reduces friction when the lungs expand?
The pleura, a membrane that surrounds the lungs, produces a lubricating fluid called pleural fluid. This fluid reduces friction between the lungs and the chest wall when the lungs expand and contract during breathing.
What is the name of the of fluid that lubricates the lungs?
The fluid that lubricates the lungs is called pleural fluid. It is found in the pleural space between the two layers of the pleura, which is a membrane surrounding the lungs. This fluid reduces friction during breathing, allowing the lungs to expand and contract smoothly.
Do the lungs make amniotic fluid?
The lungs also produce liquid that becomes part of the amniotic fluid

What is a pleural hemorrage?

Can you get fluid in the lungs from an allergic reaction?
no
Fluid on lungs caused by puncture?
no
Can a human being survive if his respiratory surface becomes dry?
No. The respiratory system consists of 70 % water and so does the body. oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged in the lungs through the aveoli in the lungs. your entire body has a circulatory system that is linked to the lungs to supply oxygen to the entire body through the blood from the lungs and your lungs contain fluid and blood is a portion of that fluid and you cannot live without blood or fluid in the body Answer no. the respiratory system consists of 70 % water and so does the body. oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged in the lungs through the aveoli in the lungs. your entire body has a circulatory system that is linked to the lungs to supply oxygen to the entire body through the blood from the lungs and your lungs contain fluid and blood is a portion of that fluid and you cannot live without blood or fluid in the body.
