Lungs

I'm always amazed at questions like this (please forgive me). You're asking strangers online to come up with statistical probabilities regarding potentially life-threatening illnesses concerning YOUR body. Whether the likihood is 10% or 80%, that's not going to put your mind at ease anyway. Please contact a medical professional to discuss results, treatment options and fertility concerns. ~ T I had a 5cm cyst and i fell pregnant, but i lost it. So i suggest you get it removed (like i did) via surgury. After surgury, go on the pill for a couple of months and then try. Answer: If your cyst is inside your ovary it is likely that it is a follicule that has not burst to release the egg and is still growing. This is usually non-cancerous and very common. I am currently taking the contraceptive pill to reduce the size of my cyst which measured 7cm x 5cm and was due to this reason. This method has worked so far. I only have one ovary as I had a cyst in the other that measured 10cm x 9cm and it had to be removed. I have an 8 month old son so even with one ovary you can still be just as fertile! I assume you have contacted a medical professional and wish you the best of luck in whatever happens with you and your ovary.

To get air. The larger the creature, the larger the lungs - because more oxygen must be processed into the body to keep you alive.

The eustachian tube is a small tube that runs from the pharynx to the ear and deals with equalizing pressure on the ear drum.

The pharynx actually has three different parts: the oropharynx, the nasopharynx, and the laryngopharynx. Technically, all three parts are used in the respiratory system, though they are not physically connected to the lungs.

The bronchi, however, are connected to the lungs. They connect the trachea to the two lungs.

According to fick's law

rate of diffusion =(proportional to)= Surface area x Diffusion gradient

Diffusion Pathway thickness

So for a sufficient rate of diffusion, Surface area must be large

The diffusion pathway is already at it's minimun of 1 cell thick and the gradient is harder to adjust.

There are around 600 million alveoli in the lungs that have a cummulitive surface area of around 70m2.

what is the delicate membrain that cover the lungs

Bronchoconstriction

because the lungs can not re-inflate themselves

Endoscopy

Residual fibrosis in the lungs is scarring. The condition is not hereditary and can be caused by an infection or by a previous illness involving the lungs.

when you inhale your lungs expand when you exhale they deflate because the air leaves the lungs.

ACTUALLY ALL HUMANS HAVE 5 LUNGS , LET ME EXPLAIN , LUNGS ARE NOT BIG AS WE SEE IT , THEY ARE SMALL , WHAT HAPPEN IS THAT THERE ARE 3 PARTS OF THE LUNGS IN THE UPPER RIGHT POSTERIOR SIDE OF YOUR BODY , AND 2 IN THE UPPER LEFT POSTERIOR OF YOUR BODY . Hope it helps

Because 1 cigarette has tar inside it. Tar is what you put on road to make it and when u breath in the tar your lungs turn black instead of pink! Soon it will become dangerous and many people die of it about every second. DO NOT START IT IS HIGHLY ADDICTING!

The Black Lung Lie

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Frank Davis

A discussion of 'smokers' black lungs' started in the comments today. It's the widespread belief that smokers' lungs turn black. Rose pointed out that it all started with James I about four centuries ago. She also dug up some refutations:

"Dr. Duane Carr - Professor of Surgery at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, said this: "Smoking does not discolor the lung."

Dr. Victor Buhler, Pathologist at St. Joseph Hospital in Kansas City: "I have examined thousands of lungs both grossly and microscopically. I cannot tell you from exmining a lung whether or not its former host had smoked."

Dr. Sheldon Sommers, Pathologist and Director of Laboratories at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York: "…it is not possible grossly or microscopically, or in any other way known to me, to distinguish between the lung of a smoker or a nonsmoker. Blackening of lungs is from carbon particles, and smoking tobacco does not introduce carbon particles into the lung."

And Brigitte even found a Youtube video:

There is even this (in German) in which a forensic medic states that these "tar" lungs do not exist.

Rich White's Smoke Screens reports the same:

This was confirmed by Dr Jan Zeldenrust, a Dutch pathologist for the Government of Holland from 1951 - 1984. In a television interview in the 1980's he stated that, translated from Dutch, "I could never see on a pair of lungs if they belonged to a smoker or non-smoker. I can see clearly the difference between sick and healthy lungs. The only black lungs I've seen are from peat-workers and coal miners, never from smokers".

you can get lung fungus if u dont take care of ur lungs......also if u smoke,do drugs,or even drink alcohol too much!!!! :[[

In the lungs, exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli(sing: alveolus).

Nutrients supply every organ in the body. So, true...

Yes, that is very likely. Aspergillus infection occurs mainly in people having organ or bonemarrow transplant. These fungi, which are not infectious to people with normal immunity, can cause disease in the above mentioned patients because they are given some chemotherapy drugs (like cyclophosphamide). -Shrawan Bhandari, (Researcher in Aspergillus infection)

This supposed lung transplant need is something that has come from the tabloid press. There is no evidence that it is true.

Basically, nothing.

not so sure, but don't inhale it because it will give you a very bad drug like effect

Alveoli.

this is the right answer

A "weak chest" in past times meant that the person had tuberculosis, or consumption. Most times it was because of many people living closely together in a small home or apartment. It is very contagious.

Answer

weak lungs are a condition some people are born with some people have it some don't it can be mistaken as athsma but its nowhere near as serious. symtoms inculde

-having trouble breathing in moist air

- having a blockage in airways

- coughing uncontrollable

- loss of breathe without excersise

- loss of voice

- needing to breath in deeply.

it generally means that they either have smaller lungs than average or the lungs are unable to develop properly.

The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple).

From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).
