Action of the diaphragm causes healthy lungs to inflate in whole like a balloon.
Doctors have said that the average person does not breath properly, thereby not filling our lungs with sufficient air to help purify our blood. We should do daily exercises of deep beathing or get into the habit of breathing more deeply than we do.

How do alveoli work?

Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen is taken in from the air we breathe and carbon dioxide is released from the blood. They have thin walls that allow for gas exchange between the air and the blood stream, ensuring that oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is expelled from the body during respiration. This process is essential for providing the body with the oxygen it needs for energy production.


What is the hollow sphere of cells that expand and contract with each breath?

The hollow sphere of cells that expands and contracts with each breath refers to the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs. Alveoli are crucial for gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled. They are surrounded by a network of capillaries and are essential for efficient respiration. Their elasticity enables them to inflate and deflate during inhalation and exhalation.


How do plants make air?

Just like humans do. they inhale to inflate their lungs and deflate to release carbon dioxide and deflate their lungs at least land animals do. sea animals use a special set of lungs called gills


Is the nose part of the lungs?

No, the nose is not part of the lungs. The nose is part of the respiratory system as it helps to filter, warm, and humidify the air before it enters the lungs, which are the primary organs for gas exchange in the body.


What two organs from other systems are also considered to be part of the excretory system?

The lungs and the skin are part of the excretory system as both give off some wastes.
