What prevents getting food or liquid into the lungs?
What prevents food from getting into the lungs is an Aorta.
Why do my lungs hurt with the flu?
It is the mucous tissue, mostly in the respiratory system (including lungs), where the influenza viruses attack the body and destroy the cells as they replicate. Until our immune systems can create the proper defenses to inactivate and remove the flu virus particles from our bodies, we can feel the symptoms of the damage to the mucous tissue cells, which sometimes includes pain in the lungs. In addition, if you have severe pain or if you have congestion and severe cough beyond the first two weeks of symptoms, it could mean you have a secondary lung infection (pneumonia) by bacteria or other viruses that needs treatment. This can also cause your lungs to hurt. Contact your health care professional to describe the symptoms so they can determine if you need an examination.
Lung structures include:
- A apex
- B base
- F bronchi
Does crying strengthen a baby's lungs?
No, crying actually decreases lung capacity because the baby is working so hard to tell you something is wrong that they're not breathing as much as they should be.

What is the function of bronchies?
The bronchi are a complex system of airway tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs. The bronchi do not absorb oxygen or exchange it for carbon dioxide; gas exchange only occurs in the alveolar sacs at the very ends of the bronchial network. The trachea (windpipe) divides into two mainstem bronchi, each of which divides into 2 or 3 lobar bronchi. Each lobar bronchus divides into 8 to 10 segmental (or tertiary) bronchi, and each segmental bronchus divides into many primary bronchioles, each of which divides into terminal bronchioles which divide into respiratory bronchioleswhich divide into alveolar ducts. Each of the hundreds of alveolar ducts supplies air to several pulmonary alveolar sacs where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide.
The primary bronchi are the two air tubes that branch off of the Trachea, primary bronchi divide to form secondary bronchi which in turn form tertiary bronchi .and finally bronchioles All bronchi & bronchiolescarry air ultimately to alveoli .
It is a tube that branches off your trachea and take air to your lungs
the bronchi allows air to travel from the lungs through two pipes of the trachea
the large air tubes leading from the trachea to the lungs;]
The bronchi (BRAHN-ky) are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea and carry air directly into the lungs.
Does black mold cause wheezing in pets?
== Answer == Absolutely! They are just like humans and it's not good for either. You have to get rid of the black mold immediately. We have a house next to ours (rancher style) that was going to be rented out, but because the people that owned it before never kept the house up or had the roof replaced they found black mold in all the walls and for safeties sake had to tear it down. The guys that took the house down had white suits on and masks. Black mold causing lung problems, can cause asthma, allergies, etc.
Trachea allows air to draw into the lungs?
yes you have a esophagus for when you eat food that has muscles that pushes food down to your stomach, that's why you can swallow even if your upside down and you have a trachea for air.
Who performs the Ct-Guided Biopsy of the lung?
This is an extremely specialized procedure, and will be carried out only by a very well qualified and experienced medical doctor, who will either be a Radiologist (a specialist in the various ways of imaging and scanning the body, such as X-rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance scanning etc.) or Physician with specialized knowledge of the respiratory system (lungs and related organs).
Where does the blood go after leaving lungs?
It goes back to the heart through the left and right pulmonary veins, and then the aorta pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
What is the name of minute tudules which end in the alveoli of the lungs?
The minute structures that end in the alveoli of the lungs are called bronchioles. These small airways branch from the larger bronchi and lead directly to the alveolar sacs, where gas exchange occurs. Alveoli are tiny air sacs that facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood.

What is the movement of air on and out the lungs?
The movement of air on and out the lungs is called respiration.
The movement of air into the lungs is called inhalation (inspiration). The movement of air out of the lungs is called exhalation (expiration).
