Lungs

Singers of course! Runners have to take short quick breathes while singers have to take large capacities of air to hold out a note! :P

PvO2 = 40mm Hg, PvCO2 = 46mmHg

Yes

The bronchial tree, specifically the bronchioles, terminate in a grape0like cluster of respiratory structures. These structures are the alveoli.

Yes.

It clogs them up with mucus

Tip #1 for Increased Lung Capacity: - Do challenging cardiovascular activities - Start slow and work your way to more intense cardio depending on your goal. Cardio workouts can be progressive. Tip #2 for Increased Lung Capacity: - Train at higher altitudes Frankly, this isn't something most people can do all the time but it's a well known fact that runners who are serious will train for a time period at higher altitudes before a race. Their lung capacity will be larger at higher altitudes because there is less pressure from the atmosphere. Once they come down to sea level, they have a larger overall lung capacity for a short period of time. FACT: When somebody from sea level goes to a higher elevation, they often develop altitude sickness because their lungs cannot process enough oxygen for their body's needs. Tip #3 for Increased Lung Capacity: - Don't smoke These 3 tips will help you increase your lung capacity.

Pleural cavity is the potential space. There is no gap between the outer and the inner pleura. There is very little fluid in the pleural cavity. You have negative pressure in the pleural cavity.

The phlegm comes from your lungs. It may mix with saliva in your mouth.

PTB stands for Pulmonary Tuberculosis. It is located in your right lung, the upper lobe. You were exposed to the bacteria, could have been by a cough or sneeze.

Thoracic cavity

the heart

stomata

No. The brain is heavier than the lungs.

The cancer has spread from the lungs. It has metastasized.

Smoking is just one thing that can cause destruction of the cells in the lungs at some people can get the disease Emphysema and you'll drown in your own mucus. People who work in mining, gases from wars, air pollution, etc., has been links to lung cancer and in some cases it's genetic. If caught early lung cancer can be cured.

Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. When a cell divides once, there should be twin cells with the same DNA. Unfortunately, sometimes the DNA in one cell mutates and continues to grow, at a much faster rate than normal cells. It can be caused by environmental factors (smoking, asbestos, etc.) or can be caused simply from the normal aging process.

There's just no need for them to be big

You die, I mean you're bleeding into your lungs.

a sponge

False

Think of it this way:

Scrunch up a paper as tightly as you can and wrap it in as little plastic as you can. Notice that the area of the plastic can be smaller than the area of the paper that it is covering. It is due to the various internal alveoli, which are pouches, that the lung has such a large surface area.

how do the bronchi allow the oxygen to get to the blood

No the 'swallowing' action takes stuff to your stomach. But maybe if you cough, breath in while you are eating, food could get into your trachea. This sometimes happens when you are drinking but you cough and cough to get the water out. If a pill got into your trachea you would cough to get it out and I don't think it would go all the way to the lungs.
