What is the structure and function of the lungs?
It has many balloon-like sacs that can hold air.
What organ is like a balloon?
The lungs are like a balloon because they expand and contract as we breathe, similar to how air fills and exits a balloon.
What is the function of the ribs in relation to the heart and lungs?
The function of rib cage is to protect delicate organs like heart and lungs
How do balloon lungs work in the respiratory system to facilitate the exchange of gases?
Balloon lungs work in the respiratory system by expanding and contracting to help with the exchange of gases. When we breathe in, the lungs inflate like a balloon, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream. When we breathe out, the lungs deflate, releasing carbon dioxide. This process helps to bring oxygen to the body's cells and remove waste gases.
What are the lungs like?
The lungs act a bit like baloons. When you breathe in they will inflate, when you breathe out they will deflate. Using a balloon may be useful way to understand this, breathe into the balloon and it will inflate (this is what happens when you breathe in). Next, leave the air out (slowly) and this is what happens your lungs when you breathe out.
Why is it better that the lungs are spongy rather than empty like a balloon?
The spongy texture of the lungs provides a large surface area for gas exchange, allowing more oxygen to enter the bloodstream and more carbon dioxide to be expelled. If the lungs were empty like a balloon, they would have a smaller surface area and would not be as effective in exchanging gases.
What are the bronchi and what do they do?
bronchi is a tube like structure. It carries air to lungs.
Like a double action balloon pump birds take oxygen into the lungs when they both what an Exhale?
Inhale and exhale.
How does the bronchi and what is its job?
bronchi is tube like structure. It carries air to lungs.
What class of arthropods have book lungs?
Books lungs are lung like organs found in arthropods. They function much like advanced lungs by exchanging atmospheric gases. Pockets of hemolymph pool in the lungs and are saturated by gases.
What is the function of the eye spot in plant like protists?
The eye spot in plant like protists function as a sensory structure.
Is the lungs a muscle?
Lungs are not muscles. They are made up of connective, epithelial, and nervous tissues. The diaphragm is the muscle that contracts and relaxes to expand and relax the chest cavity. Your lungs just fill with air -- which is why they appear to be moving (much like a when a balloon fills with air).
