Lungs

An acute form of HP caused by inhaling actinomycyetes, the same organisms that cause farmer's lung, which grow in contaminated humidifier vents, air conditioners, heating systems, and even saunas.

Lung biopsies are performed using a variety of techniques, depending on where the abnormal tissue is located in the lung, the health and age of the patient, and the presence of lung disease.

alveoli?

The system that eliminates cellular waste through the lungs, skin, and kidneys, is the Endocrine system; it is like a shovel, as it scrapes out the decaying skin cells.

Lobes in the lungs are distinct sections that facilitate the organ's function of gas exchange. The right lung has three lobes, while the left lung has two, allowing for increased surface area for oxygen absorption and carbon dioxide expulsion. Each lobe contains smaller structures called lobules, which house alveoli where the actual exchange of gases occurs. This division helps optimize lung function and enables the lungs to efficiently manage airflow and blood flow.

Air travels to and from the lungs though two branches of the trachea called bronchi (one branch equals bronchus; 2 is bronchi). The bronchi subdivide within the lobes of the lungs into smaller and smaller air vessels called bronchioles or bronchioli (singular), that terminate in alveoli. When the alveoli inflate with inhaled air brought in through the bronchi, oxygen enters into the blood. When air is exhaled through the bronchi, the alveoli deflate to expel carbon dioxide and other waste gases from the blood.

On an x-ray it looks white. That is because it is mostly accumulated fluid from the body's reaction to combat and fight it. The fluid is denser than the surrounding cells and tissues and so blocks the x-rays and is seen as a white area on the picture.

The blood needs to receive oxygen from the lungs so it can deliver it to the rest of the body.

Cigarette smoking is associated with a wide variety of abnormalities throughout the body that cause not only illness, but also, all too often, death. Indeed, if all deaths from diseases related to smoking (lung disease, heart disease, and cancers of many different organs) were considered, a case could be made for cigarette smoking as the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Ironically, it is also the most preventable cause of death in our society!

The term "smoker's lung" refers to the structural and functional abnormalities (diseases) in the lung caused by cigarette smoking.

• Because the inhaled dusts cause darkening of the lung tissue, the disease is also known as black lung.
• Pneumoconiosis refers to a lung condition in which fibrosis, or scarring of the lungs, occurs. The name of the pneumoconiosis depends upon the typed of dust inhaled which causes the lung scarring. For example - asbestosis is caused by breathing asbestos fibres. When the condition is caused by breathing in coal dust - the condition is known as coal miner's pneumoconiosis or black lung. The coal dust is black and the scarring of the lungs is also black. To read about the other types of pneumoconiosis and lung diseases caused from the inhalation of dust in the work place see the related link entitled "lung disease claim".

In your chest and behind your ribcage.

it squirts out blood so the lungs can oxygenate that blood

Cheyne stoking, sadly, happens just before death. It can last minutes or hours; every person is different. By the time cheyne stoking is apparent, in my opinion, the person is no longer aware of their surroundings.

you get lung desieses when you smoke or eat or laugh when your eating. someone can translate to u too.

Stefanie did have lung cancer which was diagnosed at the end of 2008. She had surgery early in 2009 and had the top lobe of her right lung removed. She is now cancer free and back to full health.

No they have antenas , but dont know whut its called in a cientific term , they could breath in and out with those antennas

Any cavitary lesion - Lucency (darkened area) within the lung parenchyma, with or without irregular margins that might be surrounded by an area of airspace consolidation or infiltrates, or by nodular or fibrotic (reticular) densities, or both. The walls surrounding the lucent area can be thick or thin.

The cappillar beds are the sites of gasseous exchange wherever they are. In the lungs they are in the reverse to the rest of the body as they are releasing CO2 into the lungs and taking oxygen.

Yes. you would be encouraged to stop and I believe you have to stop for so many weeks before the operation anyway.

The purpose of lung transplantation is to replace a lung that no longer functions with a healthy lung. To perform a lung transplantation, there should be potential for rehabilitated breathing function

Lung cysts cause cough and chest pain
