Lungs

Not if it's been removed, but lungs can partially repair themselves with deep breathing exercises and a healthy diet and strong immune system. Mine are better now at 78 than they were at 38 when I smoked (quit 40 yrs. ago).

Also, I have lived in areas with relatively clean air since quitting.

tobacco is bad for your heart and lungs because when you inhale the drug it goes down your breathing passages that directly lead to your lungs and it deposits a thick, dark, oily liquid called tar. Then it enters the heart and from the heart it spreads throughout your body through you blood vessels. By doing this you are increasing your risk of having a heart attack and stroke also this can lead to loss of air because the smoke starts to condense your airway passages making it harder to breath.

you could probably tell by the way you breathe, but you should really talk to a doctor about it.

The bonding of oxygen to hemoglobin within it causes it to change shape slightly.

alveolar wall

If you ride hard enough to get your breathing and heart rate up - yes.

The best treatment is no treatment and get to your Veterinarian as soon as possible or an Emergency Clinic. If the dog is small enough, you can try hanging him upside down, clear the airway as best you can and hold the tongue out. Don't waste time though, get your pet to a Vet immediately.

Inhalation. Breathing.

Compliance

The lungs are the part of the respiratory system where the exchange of gases from the outside are made with the body. The basis of the system is that gases will move across a permeable surface in proportion to their relative concentrations. Sounds too formal? Well, think of how a dot of dye fades as it spreads in water.

In the case of the lungs oxygen in the atmosphere accounts for about 20% of the ambient gas. Since metabolism consumes oxygen the concentration of oxygen in the body is less than that, so the net movement of oxygen is from the air into the body. Similarly carbon dioxide, the result of metabolism, is greater within the body than in the surrounding air. In the lung the net movement of carbon dioxide is from the lung to the exhaled air.

This really is a great subject. For example the disease black lung that coal miners suffer from is due to coal dust mediated changes to the lung tissue that decrease permeability. Since the movement of oxygen is dependent on the concentration difference and permeability people with black lung are in oxygen starved. The mirror image is going up to the top of a high mountain where the concentration of oxygen is too low. There you are oxygen starved not because of a permeability change, but due to a decrease in the concentration difference.

cilia is hair like stroucture which absorbed dust

BASE

Smoke is never good for the lungs, regardless of it source.

Usually catheter associated bacteremia, urinary tract infection and wound infections.

you can survive with one lung, but not with out both, case in point in space without oxygen you have about 1 minute and 20 seconds to live without an air tank, its on nasa.com.

well really the density of the lungs and kidneys differ from each person as we are all unique. But the average textbook denisty is 1.239g-1cm cubed for the lungs and 1.03425g3 for the kidney

Frizzophigus

Lungs , no gills. They can drown quite easily.

asthma or smoking , iteration

If you have had sufficient trauma to suffer a bruised lung you should see a doctor as you will need to have rib fractures ruled out.

If there is evidence of bleeding in the lung, then oxygen is the main therapy as well as pain relief.

"Apices" or "Apexes" - the plural of "apex", which is the highest point of something.

They are called Alveoli. They act as the primary gas exchange. Their wall is thin, and is surrounded by capillaries. This allows exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the respiratory and circulatory systems.

1. When you inhale, oxgen enters the lungs and they expand. 2. When you exhale, the lungs deflate and carbon dioxide gas is released.

cannot be passed on to offspring

Spread out flat, all the air sacs in

the lungs of an adult would cover an bubbles or sacs called aleoli. Spread out

flat, all the air sacs in the lungs of an adult would cover an area about the third

of a tennis court.

here are some extra facts. source is at bottom.

Factoids

• Your lungs contain almost 1500 miles of airways and over 300 million

alveoli.

• Every minute you breathe in 13 pints of air.

• Plants are our partners in breathing. We breathe in air, use the oxygen in

it, and release carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release

oxygen. Thank goodness!
