Then researchers spotted some tiny air sacs near insects' wings, legs and abdomens that they might use to help pump air inside.

The respiratory tracts are divided into three segments. Scientists believe that there are 20 to 23 divisions. The respiratory tract is part of the process of respiration in a human body.
What Is the Affect of Emphysema on Expiratory Reserve Volume?
Expiratory reserve volume is decreased in a patient with emphysema. This patient will struggle to breathe out because air is getting trapped within the lungs. There is also an increase of co2 in the blood because of the inability for the patient to exhale.
What happens to the blood as it flows through the capillaries in the lungs?
The CO2 or carbon dioxide is removed by the alveoli from the blood. The carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen. The blood is then full of oxygen. Alveoli are tiny sacs in the lungs, surrounded by capillaries.
How do the cilia inside the nose prepare the air for going into the lungs?
Cilia inside the nose filter the air for most dust, allergens, viruses, and bacteria.
What do people breathe out of the lungs?
Breathing starts at the nose and mouth. You inhale air into your nose or mouth, and it travels down the back of your throat and into your windpipe, or trachea.

What happens if you leave cavities?
Cavity's are are evaluated in 3 stages.
1. Decay of the Enamel - This stage is not felt. A visual inspection of the tooth is the only way to detect this stage. The fix, a small filling. Prevention, a thin layer of filling material on tooth to protect enamel. Cleanings every 6 months to year.
----
2. Decay of Dentin - At this stage the tooth can become sensitive to hot cold. Food impacted in the tooth can also cause pain as well. The fix, is a barrier lay over the dentin to protect the dentin and replace lost tooth surface with filling material. Prevention, See dentist on stage 1. Go for cleanings every 6 months to year. ----
3. Infiltration of the Pulpa or Nerve. This is the stage where it can keep you up at night. The nerve develops an infection which will cause severe pain. The fix for this is, rehabilitation, with a Root Canal to clean disinfect and seal the root. Then re- construction, with a Post to reinforce the tooth and to replace lost tooth surface so a Crown can be mounted on. Prevention, See dentist on stage two.
---- Warning
Try not to fill teeth with silver amalgams. This type of filling material is thought to be a health risk because of the use of mercury And they have many disadvantages, main one being the removal of more health tooth to retain this type of filling and the filtration of things around and under the filling leading to stage three of tooth decay. Opt for white resin resin fillings. this type of fillings have many advantages. Main one being no mercury, the filling is bonded at a molecular level where as a silver filling is a mecanicaly retained. This prevents filtration under or around the filling.
What happens when blood fills lung?
the simple answer is drowning. Blood is a fluid just like water, and it causes the same effect as drowning.

What is the path of air from the nose to the lungs?
The air you breathe in through your nose goes through your nostrils, pass something called turbinates (also called concha, which warm the air), then enter the nasopharynx, which is the area above your uvula (You can´t see it witout a proffessional mirror). Then it enters the oropharynx (the very back of your thoat) and from there it follows the same path as the air you breathe in through your mouth. Namely Larynx-->Trachea-->Bronchi--> Alveoli. From there the air diffuses into bloodvessels lining the alveoli.
What moves air from the nose to the bronchi?
The vacuum created by down-ward movement of the diaphram.
