Lungs

performed in a specialized organ transplantation hospital. Every transplant hospital in the United States is a member of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and must meet specific requirements.

1. The blood vessels are completely surrounding the alveoli for easy diffusion into the blood vessels

2. The alveoli and the blood vessels are made up of a very thin layer of cells. a single layer of simple squamos epithelium. For easy diffusion

3. There is a moist layer layering the alveoli which the gases dissolve into. This aids diffusion.

4. The blood vessels are very thin, this ensures that the red blood cells enter them in a single file row. This enables maximum diffusion.

5. The shape of the red blood cells is flat, this is increases surface area for maximum absorption.

6. The alveoli itself are round, balloon shape. This also increases surface area for maximum absorption.

lots of things could damage your lung smoking could decrease the amount of surfactant, which is a fluid function to decrease the surface tension and to prevent your lung from collapsing.

and then there is air pollutions, chemicals, asbestos.

There is 75 square meter of gas exchanging surface area that exists in the lungs. It is more or less the size of a standard tennis court.

Blockage of the throat or airways. Asthma and other breathing problems resulting from smoking or infections. Swelling when sick and mucus can also harbor breathing and also affect gas flow. Carbon monoxide also can affect the chemical balance.

Acetylcholine is a bronchoconstrictor.

Defining Social Security Disability Benefits:

The SSA has a very rigid definition of who is disabled. To receive SSI or SSDI benefits a person must provide evidence that they are permanently disabled and this condition will last at least one year, or result in their death. No benefits are awarded for a partial or short-term disability. Documenting a COPD Disability:

The most important thing for a COPD patient to do is to see a doctor on a regular basis. While at the doctor's office, this is your opportunity to help build your COPD disability case. Remember to win benefits you'll need to provide documentation of your disability. The notes and records your doctor maintains on file are critical evidence to help support your claim I've summarized your answer on this page because it allows better formatting:

Thank you

Inspiration causes a drop in thoracic pressure, so the blood pressure in the area may drop, so the feeling of the pulse may feel weaker (though this would have to be an extreme case). It also can cause splitting of the second heart sound as the lungs take in more blood.

The Left lung is smaller and has only two lobes, but the right lung is bigger and has three lobes also has less room because youe heart is located on your left side so thats why it is smaller and lighter.

Bronchi (plural of bronchus) are tubes that branch off from the trachea into each lung. Bronchioles are smaller tubes that branch off from each bronchus. Also there are only two bronchi compared with the hundreds of bronchioles

Oxygen is breathed in and carbon dioxide is breathed out as it is deadly to humans. Too much carbon dioxide breathed in will cause brain damage and eventually death.

arteries carry red blood (oxygen), veins carry blue blood (no oxygen), i don't think that blood carries CO2,

Oxygen and carbon dioxide

The lungs are never truly 'empty'. Even if you exhale as hard and as long as you can there will still be some air in them.

Unless of course your lung collapses, but you will not live for very long in such case.

no because the lungs help you breath but the heart helps to get blood in your system

high compliance

Usually, yes.

The most common causes are respiratory synsythial virus (RSV), parainfluenza viruses, influenza viruses. Metapneumovirus, human bocavirus, and a number of other recently discovered viruses are implicated as well.

The sternum is anterior to the heart (in front of the heart). It may also be called superficial or ventral to the heart.

There must be areas of different concentration.

Many things can harm the lungs. Like smoking, or any smoke in general that may be dangerous to your health. Pollution is another one, even though it may not be as harmful to the lungs as smoke would be.

Hagfish and lampreys have gills. They are the only living members of a primitive group of fish without jaws. They have round sucker-like mouths.
