The term "bronchial" refers to the larger airways within the lungs, called the bronchi or bronchial tubes. These tubes branch off into the smaller airways that contain the alveoli, or air sacs.
Bronchial conditions (such as asthma) prevent sufficient airflow through the tubes, either through inflammation, edema, or adhesion of the tube walls.
Interesting question. Helium has an exceptionally low heat capacity (no vibrational or rotational modes), but theoretically it would be possible if the helium were cold enough and there were enough of it. If you're asking if room temperature helium has some magical lung-freezing power... no, it does not.
Condition of air entering the pleural cavity?
pneumothorax: condition in which an injury to the chest wall penetrates the parietal pleura or damages the alveoli and the visceral pleura allows air into the pleural cavity. The result is an atelectasis, or a collapsed lung. Treatment involves removing all of the air before closing the opening. pneumothorax: condition in which an injury to the chest wall penetrates the parietal pleura or damages the alveoli and the visceral pleura allows air into the pleural cavity.

When someone believes they have cancer when they really don't. They become "scared" that they have cancer.
if you have smoked longer than 8 yrs then yes, your longs can/will become very sensitive.
Is is possible for gold to cure cancer?
It is possible for gold to cure cancer. Gold might be used to fund the research that eventually finds the cure for cancer.
How many lobes does the left lung have?
After the mainstem bronchus, two secondary bronchi supply the left lung (and three supply the right lung).
Which is bigger the left or the right lungs?
The right lung is larger and heavier. The right lung has three lobes, the left only two.
What tube connects the mouth to the lungs?
This tube is technically called the trachea, but is commonly referred to as one's windpipe. Be careful not to confuse it with your esophagus, which connects your mouth to your stomach in the digestive system.
Are the alveoli distal or proximal to the bronchi?
The alveoli and bronchi are both parts of the respiratory tree. The main parts of this structure, in the order of air passing through during inspiration are: trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The alveoli are distal to the bronchi, because they are farther away from the center of the body then the bronchi.
Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in what?
The gas exchange that takes place in the lungs are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Why is lung capacity an indicator of health?
Lung capacity varies from person to person. The part that matters is whether or not a person is using all of their lungs. If they are not, they are at risk for pneumonia, or fluid and bacteria filing the alveoli in the lungs. Also, when a person smokes, they damage alveoli, causing the lung to not be able to use their entire capacity. This forces the lungs to work harder to make up for the areas that they are not able to use.
Can you vomit up your own lung and survive?
You can't vomit up your lung to start with, so you can't die from it.
Where gas exchange happens in the lungs?
Gas exchange happens in the capillaries. Oxygen is replaced with Carbon Dioxide which is transported from the heart.
What does Chronic-appearing findings osseous structures mean?
Typically, it means age-related changes in the bony parts. It's part of life.
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
an organ in many arachnids containing many thin folds of membrance resembling the leaves of a book.
They have lungs. Tadpoles have gills, but lose them as they grow into frogs. Frogs can still live in water as they breathe through their skin. They also can live on land via their lungs. They are amphibious for this reason
