Lungs are a pair of elastic and spongy organs that help the body breathe. They are present inside the rib cage in thoracic cavity of humans.

Are your left and right lungs exactly the same?

Bronchiole tubes, bronchioles, and alveoli.

Can rheumatoid arthritis cause non-calcified granulomas in the lungs?

You asked: Can rheumatic fever cause calcified granulomas in the lungs?

My answer: Yes, it can, and I'm one of them with it. I'm a health researcher and research committee chair that has studied many types of pathologies and chronic diseases. I am also profoundly deaf and have been at least severely hearing impaired starting at age 2 1/2 when I had a case of double mumps that weakened my immune system and set me for rheumatic fever at ten (found from Strep Group A). Repeated attacks took me in and out of the hospital and long road with off and on antibiotics. The aminoglycosides that were used early on slowly destroyed the remainder of my hearing and vestibular organ setting me up for a lifetime of Meniere's Syndrome and advancing sarciodosis that eventually attacked my lungs, heart, and aorta,. My heart valves were destroyed from years of attacks on it from RF, along with ossicification of my lungs. Nineteen years ago, when I was at death's doorstep, I was able to turn my health around (that alone is enough for book!). Today, at age almost 70 I feel so blessed to still be alive with all I've been through. However, with sarciodosis apparently triggered by an underlying propensity for the RF to return (I control it with daily low dose amoxicillian, but that is sometimes not enough with the heavy travel and work schedule I maintain in my work) , today, my vascular system is under attack from very active sarciodosis. The aorta is very inflamed and extends to many of my organs and heart and brain. But there are tools in the toolbox to slow it and hopefully conquer it another 10-20 years. We don't microwave our food, eat organically as much as possible, follow the Fast Metabolism Diet, and try to stay buried in my work in finding solutions for the pressing health problems that plaque mankind. I tell you my story for three reasons: 1) Yes, to your question if RF can lead to sarciodosis---many autoimmune diseases can lead to it and trigger it, so it is wise to be aware of it, because getting the diagnosis is tough; 2) you must keep up hope and not surrender, and 3) to give others--patients, researchers, clinicians, and physicians, all-- a pathway to looking closer at the idiopathic cases and know this: the key to health is within the immune system and how it is treated: first, and always, the place to resolve problematic, life threatening conditions is getting the patient healthy--leaving them where they are and not insisting on changes of diet, lifestyle, hydration, substance abuse, and all other clear dangers to health is no way to treat a patient. Educate them, inspire them, convince them, and you will done more good than all the medicine and medical equipment in the world.

Trace the path of blood through the heart from vena cava to the lungs?

i cnt trace it cuz this is a writing answer but the unoxygnated blood comes down through veins into the right atrium and out the right ventricle it passes the aveoli goes through the left atrium and out the left ventricle through the aorta and eventually into small capilaries

How are lung volume and capacity measured?

To test lung capacity, doctors/nurses can use spirometry. Spirometry involves the patient exhaling into a mouthpiece/tube that is connected to a computerized device. This divice monitors the amount of air the patient is exhaling. Once the person fully exhales, the results can be analyzed by either viewing the results on a computer monitor or by printing the results out.

See the related links section for a great Web site that explains lung capacity testing!

What carries air in and out of the lungs?

Absolutly nothing. Air TRAVELS to your lungs. Nothing makes it go to your lungs.

Do bugs have lungs?

insects have trachea breathing systems which means a tunnel from outside reaches every single cell in the insect body. some areas in these tunnels are loose and called air sacs which resemble lungs in function but anatomicly they do not have lungs the way we do.

What happens if someone has a hole in their lungs?

You would have severe breathing difficulties, or be unable to breathe at all. When a baby's diaphragm has a hole in it, it is call diaphragmatic hernia.

Is the lungs lateral to the sternum?

Yes, the right lung is lateral to the heart. Lateral is described from the midline outward; medial is outward toward the midline.

Pleurae are vital to the integrity of the lungs?

d. they produce a lubricating serous secretion

Why does oxygen moves into lungs?

Inside the red blood cells, the iron has a great affinity for oxygen. It moves by passive diffusion from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream where it binds to the iron groups in the haemoglobin in the red blood cells.

A very tiny tube that dead ends in a sac within the lungs?

Bronchioles. Air enters through the mouth, down the trachea and into the left and right main bronchi (which lead to the left and right lungs respectively) The bronchi then branch off continually into smaller and smaller bronchi. The very smallest of these are called bronchioles and they end in tiny air sacs called alveoli.

What is the human windpipe that takes air to the lungs?

It tends to act as a passage for air to go to the lungs when we breathe.

What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?

The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.

What allows the lungs to move freely in the thorax due to the secretion of a serous fluid?

When you inhale your diaphragm contracts and moves down allowing some extra space. The muscles between your ribs also contract forcing them out also allowing more space. So there is more wiggle room for the lungs when you inhale.

Where does the oxygen go after the lungs?

when you breathe oxygen in an then you exhale it turns into carbon-dioxide or co2....retarddd. this is wrong, guys a lemon

How are leaves adapted for gas exchange?

they are connected to a densed network of blood vessels which keeps the oxygen moist

What does breathing hot air do to the lung?

When I took athletic injuries in high school, my teacher always spoke of how when you breath cold air you feel the burn, but warm air is more of a soothing experience. So basically hot air will just help open, and dilate the capillaries in the lungs, thus helping exchange of oxygen a little more. Resulting in a relaxed feeling after use for a couple of minutes.

What difference in the composition of the blood entering and leaving the lungs?

Because the blood leaving the lungs gained oxygen from the lungs, and has a full amount of oxygen. However the blood going to the heart has just traveled around the body. Therefore, it lost oxygen while traveling around the body.
