What circulation route takes deoxegenated blood to the lungs where it can pick up oxygen?
Deoxygenated blood leaves the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery and goes to the lung to get oxygenated. The newly oxygenated blood leaves the lung and goes to the left artium through the pulmonary vein. This is called pulmonary circulation.
Is it possible for a human to live with half lung?
Yes it is possible, I have a family member with only half a lung.
More detail:
My aunt had one lung removed due to lung cancer, and the other lung was so badly damaged from radiation that she lost half of that one. So she had only half of a lung left. She did just fine, but had to be on oxygen 24/7 for the rest of her life so that her body would get enough oxygen.
She was still independent, drove herself any place she wanted to go, and lived a good, full, active life.
What is the function of blood cells in the lungs?
The main function of blood cells in lungs is to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body
What happens when the lungs gas exchange what have made the blood?
During gas exchange in the lungs, oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the blood within the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This process enriches the blood with oxygen, which is then transported to tissues throughout the body for cellular respiration. The removal of carbon dioxide helps maintain the body's pH balance and prevents respiratory acidosis. Thus, gas exchange is crucial for sustaining life by ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide.
What are the side effects if any of taking Lipo-flavanoid meds for hearing loss?
I imagine you are taking this tinnitus or "ringing of the ears, noises in my head", etc..
I myself are a fellow sufferer and so is a large percentage of the general population.
Tinnitus is affliction that affects anyone. You do not have to have a hearing loss to have it. It can be a very upsetting experience and can cause quite a stressfull time for any individual.
First of all medically, we understand very little about this problem. One must be very carefull not to do self diagnosis and self treatment. This can be very dangerous as well as can be very expensive.
First, you should see a medical health care practioner, the medical practioner can determine if there is a known cause "organic" such as too much aspirin or side effect of certain medication or other complicating health reasons. This is rare in most cases it cannot be determined the cause and if that is the case there is nothing medically that cannot be done for it other than self mangemenet. We are only learning about it and there seems to be a strong link between tininnitus and stress. We know that relaxing, excercise and rest usually more manageable. Yoga, good diet and sleeping habits are great steps. You can try all sorts of medications, treatments, supplements and therapys. There is no proven treatment for tinnitus at this time.
We have found that there may be some comfort for some people using lipo-flavanoid or better known as flava based products. As with any supplement, medications or drug using common sense, moderation and education is extremely important. Allways read the warning labels and check before mixing with your other medications.Side effects of flava can be damage to your liver for example and is not to be used long term.
Anyone looking on the internet will see there are millions of sites offereing treatment for tinnitus from all sorts of individuals including well meaning doctors, nutritionist, audiologists, hearing groups, etc.. You may be suprise how few of them are actually have the condition but they offer you help for money. There is no cure. If you are still determine to the allways make sure you can get your money back should it not work that is a good indicator of their product. Allways check with your health care provider first.
Yes, most adult frogs have fully functional lungs plus they can exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the air through their skin also or in simpler terms they can breathe through their skin too albeit not in a very efficient manner but enough to keep them alive underwater for extended periods. The African clawed frog is one of the rare exceptions in that the adults are fully aquatic, exchange gas through their skin and do not have lungs.

What small air sacs is in your lungs?
small air sacs in your lungs are alveoli (plural) they are where the air you breath in is stored
Both the lungs and the kidneys are part of?
The kidneys and lungs are part of the excretory system. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide, and the kidneys excrete nitrogen-containing wastes in the form of urine.

How many bronchial segment in the lung?
Each of the tertiary bronchi serves a specific bronchopulmonary segment. These segments each have their own artery. Thus, each bronchopulmonary segment is supplied by a bronchus, and an artery.
There are 10 bronchopulmonary segments in the right lung (3 in superior lobe, 2 in middle lobe, 5 in inferior lobe) and 8-10 segments on the left (4-5 in upper lobe, 4-5 in lower lobe). Each segment is separated from the others by a layer of connective tissue.
This means that each bronchopulmonary segment is a discrete anatomical and functional unit, and this separation means that a bronchopulmonary segment can be surgically removed without affecting the function of the other segments.
What is the tube called that passes air from the mouth and lungs of a frog?
The tube that passes air from the mouth and lungs of a frog is called the trachea. The trachea branches into bronchi that lead to the lungs, allowing for the exchange of gases. Frogs also have a unique respiratory system that enables them to breathe through their skin, in addition to using their lungs.
An abnormal sounds produced in the lungs as air moves through fluids of the bronchiole tree?
Air is normally able to pass through the bronchial tree normally is the bronchial tree is open via laminar flow. Breath sounds are heard during auscultation of the chest, using a stethoscope. Normal breath sounds are termed as vesicular breath sounds. However, in conditions such as a pleural effusion where there is air within the pleural cavity, the flow of air becomes disturbed. Therefore, there will be absent breath sounds and if the effusion is large, bronchial breath sounds will be heard which are both abnormal.
What are the tiniest tubes in the lung called?
The smallest [air] tubes in the lungs are the broncioles they terminate the larger bronchi.
Inside your lungs the two bronchi tubes divide into small bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes then divide into bronchioles, which are even smaller air passages. Tiny air sacs, called alveoli, are on the ends of the bronchioles.
The small tubes located within the lungs are known as the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes function is to purify the air that is going into the lungs, when the bronchial tubes become inflamed and swell, Asthma attacks can occur.
What moves blood to and from the lungs where oxygen poor becomes oxygen rich blood?
blood flows through your body through the pumping of your heart. however on your red blood cells are hemoglobin which holds oxygen.
when your blood cells go through your cells...the hemoglobin picks up the oxygen poor blood and deposits it at your lungs (to be realeased thru exhaling) and get oxygen rich blood (from inhaling)
Is Pyothorax an accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity?
Pyothorax is an accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity. Hemothorax is an accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity.
When lungs inhale oxygen what does it exhale as waste?
when lungs inhale oxygen what doesit exhale as waste
How long does it take lungs to fill wuth fluid after clorine gas?
It depends on dosage and the individual person; all poisons have a rating called an LD50 - Lethal Dose for 50% of the population. It varies by exposure method (inhalation in this case) and the species (humans). Basically, it's the amount of poison needed to kill half the population you expose to it - they don't use 100% because, theoretically speaking, some oddity might exist in one of the test subjects that makes them immune (much more likely with complex poisons - chlorine gas is frighteningly simple, and alarmingly easy to make). Needless to say, legitimate research conducts LD50 tests on lab rats and the like - As far as I know, the only organization to legitimize poison gas testing on human subjects was Hitler's 3rd Reich. For most poisons, the effect is directly scalable by weight (a human weighing 100 times the weight of a rat can expect similar effects from a dose 100 times as large).
Since Chlorine is an airborne poison, it's lethal dosage is measured in exposed concentration for a specified timeframe - as such, I think the lethal dose ratings are directly comparable; human lungs would resist damage from chlorine no better than those of a rat.
According to a Material Safety Data, the LC50 (lethal conentration) is 293ppm for 1 hour. Everything I've heard about the effects of chlorine gas used in world war 1 suggests that people who survived gas attacks didn't have any progressive long term effects (Instant emphazema, blindness and horrific scarring, yes, but nothing that culminated in death), so I'd guess that, at that level of exposure, it'd take about an hour to die.
Chlorine gas used as a weapon was delivered in muchhigher concentrations; what I've heard indicates that if you wound up in a gas cloud you didn't see coming (or otherwise failed to have a gas mask in place prior to exposure), you generally didn't make it, meaning the damage became debilitating in a few seconds (or you'd have time to get a mask on). I'd guess at such a concentration, the time it would take to be fatal would be at most a couple of minutes.
Regardless of all this, even detection threshhold levels of chlorine gas can be harmful - the same safety sheet says that the maximum concentration of gas that one can work an 8 hour shift in without a mask is 1ppm.
