What else can I help you with?
Where in the repiratory system does gas exchange occur?
Between the avioli and the lungs.
What is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconiosis?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconiosis is the rare disease in which volcanic silica ash gets lodged in the avioli of the lungs.
What happens when pressure is lower inside the lungs than outside the lungs?
When pressure inside the lungs is lower than outside, air flows into the lungs to equalize the pressure. This is known as inhalation, where the diaphragm contracts and the rib cage expands to create more space for air to enter the lungs.
What is the function of the avioli?
The alveoli are small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled. This gas exchange process is essential for respiration and providing oxygen to the body's tissues.
What color is a frogs lungs?
The color of frog's lungs are a purplish brown.
Why are air sacs to absorb oxygen effectively?
Avioli increase the effective surface area which the body uses to transfer gasses to outside the body.
If the pressure inside the lungs decreases outside air is pushed into the airways by what?
The pressure inside the lungs decreases as the ribcage moves out and up. Air from outside basically gets pushed in by other air molecules due to the pressure gradient (air moves from a high pressure to a low pressure)
Why is my breath warm?
Your breath is warm because it comes from your lungs, which are inside your body and at a higher temperature than the air outside. When you exhale, the warm air from your lungs mixes with the cooler air outside, creating the sensation of warmth.
Why does atmospheric pressure not crush our lungs?
Atmospheric pressure does not crush our lungs because the pressure inside our bodies is equal to the pressure outside. This balance allows our lungs to expand and contract without being crushed.
What supplies oxygen to the other parts of the body?
the avioli in your lungs carry oxygen to blood cells. Blood then carries the oxygen to other parts of the body viz veins and arteries.
Why does the lung collapse if intrapleural pressure is not maintain?
Inspiration happens when the pressure inside the lungs is lower than the atmospheric pressure (outside) and air rushes into the lungs. Expiration is when the air inside the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure and the air rushes out of the lungs. If the intrapleural pressure (pressure within the pleura of the lungs) isn't maintained then the pressure in the lungs can't differentiate between inspiration and expiration and so the lung collapses.
What is the group of air sacs?
Its the little avioli or alvioli inside of your lungs, these allow us to breathe in clean air and out co2. When these get damaged from smoking, drugs etc our breathing becomes very bad and this can lead to throat cancer, if these things ever get soooo damaged it could kill us, and shorten our life span.
