Lungs

Lungs are a pair of elastic and spongy organs that help the body breathe. They are present inside the rib cage in thoracic cavity of humans.

What is bronchioles?

It is medication taken by an inhauler or hand held nebulizer which helps to open up the bronchi to help people who are having a difficult time with breathing. Most frequently seen in Asthma patients.

What is the treatment for a lung collapse after a needle biopsy?

I am not a doctor, and the treatment probably varies depending on your doctor.

Today I received a lung needle biopsy (through my back, not chest). The radiologist told me before the operation that I would have roughly a 1 in 4 chance of a lung collapse. If your lung collapses, that means that air leaks out of your lung and into your chest area. He also told me that if my lung did collapse, that there was only a 1 in 4 chance that they would have to treat it. Sometimes it will just adjust itself slowly as you breathe. My lung did not collapse.

If they would have treated it, then they would have inserted a tube to vacuum out some air from the lung. I don't know how this would fix it, but it is the procedure my doctor told me they would use.

I'm 15 and the reason for the biopsy is that I had coughed up blood a couple times at my house. At the walk-in, they found a mass in the upper lobe of my right lung. They completely put me "under" for the operation (this may have to do with my age).

The operation was this morning and I now feel fine. Breathing is normal, but I am fairly sore. I was told to not move around too much or do heavy lifting for a couple of days.

Can lungs blocked?

yes lungs can get blocked by mucus if tha is what you mean :)

Does Edd Gould have cancer?

Yes. Edd posted a video onto YouTube explaining that he is suffering Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. However, it is not the first time he has had this cancer.

Edd has been discharged from hospital (but will of course be required there for regular appointments and such) and was able to attend the MCM Expo in London in May, 2011.

How does the respiratory system contribute to a healthy body?

(Biology Homework Ftw!)

The Respiratory is a key component of your body, being entirely necessary for humans, mammals, and vast majority of all life to survive on the earth. It is found in nearly all known living species of animals and plants.

It is required in humans so that Oxygen, from the air around us (20% of air is O2) can be taken to muscles within the body, and combusted with glucose (C6H1206) to give Energy, and CO2, which is then breathed out. At first, you may think that just muscles aren't that necessary. But muscles make up almost all your major organs, most importantly, your Heart.

The Hear beats via it's muscles to pump blood around the body. This in turn, is how Oxygen and CO2 are passed from the lungs to the muscles, and fromt he muscles to the lungs respectively.

Without this cycle, the body's muscles would not get the 02 they require to survive. This would lead to cell death on a massive scale, giving many symptons, the last and most famous of which is Death.

Now go do your biology homework!

Where does the oxygen from the lungs pass to?

oxygen from lungs pass to the blood capilleries in which it enter in red blood cells which carry 4 molecules of oxygen by combinig with one molecule of Hb Oxygen from blood transfer to cells where it helps in metabolic reaction and cellular respiration.

What is the of Alveolus?

The alveolus is a air sac that holds the oxygen. It squashes the oxygen molecules so they diffuse from the alveolus into the capillary. From there, they attach themselves to deoxygenated Red Blood Cells. The oxygen in the blood plasma are also squashed and are diffused. They go from the capillary to the alveoli to get breathed out. The alveoli transfers the oxygen to the lung capillaries and oxygenates the blood, then it is breathed out as Carbon Dioxide.

What is difference between air sacs and lungs?

Air sacs store air.

Lungs help you breath in and out.

Do lungs have a large exposed surface area?

Your lungs have very large surface area. About 100 square meters or 1100 square feet.

When the air flows into the lungs is the air cooled?

No. It is warmed to near body temperature as it passes through the nose, throat, and bronchi.

What part of the body protects your lungs?

the ribs make a cage that protects your heart and lungs.

Do people live on the Rockies?

Due to the climate people do not live in the actual Rocky Mountains themselves. Most inhabitants live at the base of the mountains.

Why right lung has a middle lobe but not the left lung?

the bronchi divides into two, right and left. the right again divides into 3 lobar bronchiloes for three lobes- upper, middle and lower. while the left divides into 2 lobar bronchioles for the two lobes of left lung i.e upper and lower.

What is the lung's job?

The lungs fill with oxygen. It then replaces the carbon dioxide and other toxins in the blood stream with the fresh oxygen. Essentially, the lungs help to provide the entire body with fresh oxygen by working with the cardiovascular system.
