Large muscular organ that helps to pull air into the lung?
Alveoli or air sacks. These bring air closer to the blood and lungs
Do lungs depend on any other part or parts of the body for help?
The lungs depend on the heart to pump deoxygenated blood to become oxidized along with other systems
What is the purpose of the lungs?
A simple answer would be: The lungs take out the waste (CO2) from the blood and oxygenate the blood, which we need to maintain our organs alive.
Lungs provide a large surface for the transfer of gases between the atmosphere and blood.
The left lung's role is one that has sparked universal doctrinal controversy over the last few years. Following the works of the pulmonary expert Pr. Nozko, research has shown that the left lung is principally responsible for oxygenating the left hemisphere of the brain.
Nozko was subject to widespread criticism on the grounds that his research was marred by a distinct lack of funding towards the end and a severe speech impediment that affected the quality of his work.
Stretching of lung tissue caused by the alveoli becoming distended and losing elasticity occurs in?
emphysema
The giant panda has a very unusual respiratory system. As an answer to your question, no, pandas do not have lungs. Panda's have small spiracles that are positioned in the ends of their toes, between the toenail (claw) and the fur. The air is drawn in through these holes and into 'air tubes' that run up their legs and out of their mouth. This is why pandas exhale from their mouth, but never inhale.
Why do some fish have lungs and gills?
There are a few species of fish that have evolved in places where the water supply is not always reliable and so they have developed different methods of surviving. The vast majority of small fish like the Australian Rainbow Fish that have evolved under these wet and dry conditions spawn as soon as the water starts to get shallower and then die in the drought. Once the wet (rains) come the ova hatch and the fish are back. Others like the Australian Lungfish have developed a form of lung that they can use when theyhave to survive in the mud (almost hibernating) until the rain comes and the rivers flow again. Still others that evolved where the pools do not completely dry out have to live in very oxygen depleted water. These species have developed 'labyrinths' in which small quantities of air can be gulped. The Gouramies and Bettas do this.
What are long term effects on human lungs of breathing animal urine?
Breathing animal urine does not pose a risk to most people. However, in concentrated amounts found in poorly ventilated areas, ammonia fumes produced by animal urine can cause a number of serious symptoms after long-term exposure. These symptoms may include burning and watering of the eyes, coughing, wheezing, headache, and nausea, among others. The World Health Organization considers ammonia to be a possible carcinogen, meaning that inhalation of these fumes may be linked to cancer growth. Never clean up animal urine that has a strong ammonia smell with bleach; mixing bleach with ammonia will cause toxic gases to form.The most common symptoms reported include headaches and burning, watery eyes.
Why i have fever in my lungs head pain?
If you are feeling unwell you need to go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor).
Is cigerette ash bad for your lungs?
yes it is bad but not as bad as the smoke because it is not floating around in a cloud it is sitting in the ash tray.
Do silverfish and bumble bee have lungs?
Bees do not have lungs. They have breathing tubes called spiracles.
What are the actual sites of gas exchange within the lungs are the?
The actual sites of gas exchange within the lungs are the alvioli.
What is fibrosis linear densities?
Fibrosis linear densities refer to areas of increased density observed in imaging studies, such as X-rays or CT scans, indicating the presence of fibrotic tissue in the lungs or other organs. This fibrotic tissue results from chronic inflammation and scarring, often associated with various diseases, including interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis. The linear densities can reflect the extent and pattern of fibrotic changes, helping clinicians assess disease severity and guide treatment decisions.
Why does the blood travel to the lungs?
blood is used as a method of transportation in the body, blood goes to the longs to transport oxygen into the longs, the oxygen travles in the lungs into the aveoli (small air-sacks) were the oxygen cells go through the capilary walls and is synthesized into energy for the body. this is why when you run, you breathe faster, your body is trying to make energy.
i think this is right, i kindoff remember this from school 2 years ago...
What are fibroatelectatic changes in a lung?
This term is used by some diagnostic radiologists to characterize certain types of opacities or "shadows" seen occasionally on chest x-rays. The term atelectasis is well represented in radiology literature and has been well studied and characterized ever since the first historical chest films were obtained. Atelectasis refers to accordian-like folding and partial collapse of lung airspaces due to a variety of causes, most likely caused either by blockage of an adjacent airway, or due to compression from some nearby disease process. Inherent in the definition is the idea that atelectasis is most commonly transient and reversible, and will generally resolve and re-expand over time.
Fibroatelectasis is not an accepted medical/pathological/radiological term, but instead a conflation of two ideas into one, lung micro-collapse and lung scarring. This term would then attempt to give a name to atelectasis that persists over months and years, without resolution. This term was probably coined by a creative radiologist, but is not used in most academic settings or teaching hospitals.
