A short caption on how oxygen moves from the lungs to toe cells?
The farther away you move from the heart, speed slows. The arteries narrow, eventually branching into arterioles. (smallest artery). The blood vessels are so tiny that you and the other red blood cells have to squeeze through in single file. These are the capillaries.
In the capillary you give up the oxygen molecule you've been carrying since the trip from the lungs. The oxygen moves out through the capillary walls and enters the cells of your big toe. There, the oxygen is used to release energy from food. That energy keeps the cells of your big toe alive. After oxygen is released a molecule of carbon dioxide is received, a waste product created from the energy releasing activities of those same toe cells.
What causes a person to die when the lungs fill with fluid?
Depends on the instance. If it's a fluid like water when drowning, it's direct suffocation and eventual brain death after several minutes.

What does a asymmetry caused by a collapsed lung look like
If you mean chest cold, it means you have heavy wheezing that cause some chest pains. If you are indeed asking about a cold chest, it is a very discomforting feeling in the chest or torso area. The chest feels like it is freezing even though one may be well covered, or with an electrical blanket on the chest. Opinions and input from other FAQ Farmers: * I get it often, and so far my own doctor can not explain what it is. * I also get a cold chest and again my doctor knows nothing about it. * I have had a cold chest for about 6 months now and once again my doctor knows nothing about it. He says it must be caused by sweating but this is not the case. It can be worrying so if anybody gets any answers I would be interested. * I went to the doctor, I ran some tests. Bloodwork (came out fine), Echocardiogram (All fine), and a stress test (the one where you run on a treadmill with all those probes attached to you; again all fine.) She agreed with me that it's all caused by stress and I need to cut down my stress level. Since I went to the doctor and found out that nothing is seriously wrong with me I've been much more relaxed knowing that I'm not going to have a heart attack or something and I haven't had a reoccurance of the cold feeling. Try de-stressing a little. It worked for me. *shrug* She also agreed with me that it was directly linked to my caffeine intake. I've stopped drinking caffinated beverages and I haven't had any cold feeling.
