Depends on the instance. If it's a fluid like water when drowning, it's direct suffocation and eventual brain death after several minutes. If it's a disease like Cystic Fibrosis in which the fluid is mucus, death is caused as a result of complications like Pneumonia, respiratory failure, heart failure, etc.
Yes, hernia can cause the lungs to fill with the fluid. Hernia is when the intra-abdominal contents of the upper abdomen protrude into the mediastinum or chest. If the contents are large enough, it can press on adjacent organs, i.e. heart and lungs, and create difficulties breathing or increasing activities.
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.
Pneumonia is a bacterial or viral infection of the lungs. The lungs begin to fill with fluid causing difficulty breathing and high fever.
A person inhales when the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, causing the chest cavity to expand and the lungs to fill with air. This process is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and regulated by the brainstem.
Pneumonia
The lungs fill with fluid, and patient usually runs a temperature, and feels chills, then sweats.
When the chest cavity expands and the diaphragm contracts, it creates more space in the chest cavity. The pressure decreases, and pulls on the lungs. The lungs fill with air to compensate for the lost space from the expansion and contraction.
Because, due to the inability of their heart to handle the blood volume in their body, the lungs fill up with fluid. That causes them to cough because they can't get enough air.
The lungs are specialized in oxygenating blood. They also provide the body's many cells with a substantial amount of oxygen. When the lungs fill with fluid due to mucus, when a person gets pneumonia or even a common cold, the lungs are not able to do their jobs correctly, causing the body to become oxygen deprived, which then makes it complicated and challenging for the body to breathe.
When the left ventricle fails, fluid backs up in the lungs. In turn, pressure from excess fluid can damage the heart's right side as it works to pump blood into the lungs.
the lungs fill with air because the diaphragm (a muscle that runs underneat the ribcage) moves and causes the lungs to inflate
The diaphragm moves down when you breathe in, so your lungs will expand to take in as much oxygen as possible.
