How does bacteria move out your lungs?
it's probably because flagellum makes bacteria move so there is a chance bacteria can move out of your lungs
What is tidal volume of the lung?
Tidal volume is the amount of swag in the air and the amount of banter in a toilet
Can you pull a muscle in your lung?
Yes! If you have a case of bronchiolitis, you can pull a muscle near the lungs from coughing so much. I've had it. It's quite painful:(
Do raccoons breathe oxygen out of their lungs?
They do...
Raccoons are Mammal's, as are Humans...
And like humans, they have lungs, a heart, kidneys, a bladder and a brain... as they have a nose, eyes, ears and a mouth. It is almost safe to say that anything furry, has lungs.
How does air enter and exit our lungs?
Much like as in a concertina or a piano accordian. Body muscles increase the volume of the chest, and air rushes in to occupy the extra space. Then the body muscles reduce the volume and to avoid being pressurised the air is pushed out.
What does a bird's lung look like?
Birds have very different lungs than mammals because birds don't have a diaphragm. Air is pulled in by expansion of the rib cage and is drawn first into the lung, which instead of being arranged in blind-ended sacs (alveoli) are arranged into tubes. A second draw pulls the air from the lungs and into air sacs throughout the body cavities where additional oxygen is pulled from the air. The air is then expelled from the air sacs through the pharynx back into the atmosphere.
the first thing that happens when you breathe in is your rib cage rises and expands out. this gives your lungs room to inflate. then your diaphragm pulls down, causing air to rush from a high concentration into your lungs. (low concentration) as the air is sucked in your lungs inflate
What two gases are exchanged in your lungs when you breathe?
carbon dioxide goes out and oxygen comes in
What impact does cannabis have on the lungs?
It is never good for your lungs to inhale smoke; the lungs get dirty and it is difficult to expel the dirt by the normal function of lung cilia, when the dirt is constantly being replenished by continued smoking. Of course, cannabis is not only consumed by smoking. You can also use it to brew tea, which avoids any harm to the lungs although it may still constitute an illegal use of a recreational drug - unless you have a valid medical need for it.
It takes many years of smoking to cause lung cancer.
What happens when there is no oxygen reaching the lungs?
whats the rusults from an insufficient amount of oxygen entering the body?
What the 5 components of the respiratory system?
5 parts of the respiratory system are as follows: lungs, trachea, heart, larynx, pharynx.
The serous membrane on the lung surface is called the what?
Pleural Cavity is the body cavity that surrounds the right and left lung. The pleura is a serous membrane which folds back to form a two-layered, membrane structure. The thin space between the two pleural layers is known as the pleural cavity; it normally contains a small amount of pleural fluid. The outer pleura parietal pleura is attached to the chest wall. The inner pleura, visceral pleura covers the lungs and adjoining structures.
What was happening at the time of the iron lung?
Polio paralizes particular nerves including the nerves that control breathing. When a person had polio, it became difficult for that person to breathe. That person was placed in this large iron cylinder. Their neck and head stuck out. A diaphragm at the foot would go back and forth. The diaphragm would pull one direction creating a partial vacuum making the person breathe in. Then the diaphragm would push the other way creating increasing the air pressure. The person would breathe out. Eventually the patient would either die or recover. Vaccinations have wiped polio out of most of the world except for Muslim areas. Today, other devices can force air into and out of the lungs without covering the entire body.
What prevents overinflation of the lungs?
The lungs are protected from external or outside damage by the rib cage.
What are the characteristics of the lungs?
The Lungs are usually viewed in two sections, the Gas Movement section, and the Gas Exchange section. The right lung is significantly larger, having three Lobes, than the left lung, with only two lobes. This is because the left ventricle of the heart sits slightly to the left side of the thorax taking some of the space the lung would otherwize have had. The lungs are withing a cavity in the thorax called the Pleural Cavity and are surrounded by a bouble membrane called the Pluaral Membrane. The inner layer of the pleural membrane is called the visceral layer and is continuous with the alveoli of the lung, the outer layer is called the perietal layer. To follow a gas molecule breathed in would take you first down the Bronchus (there is one on each side, for each lung) then through a network of Bronchioles until it came to an Alveolar Duct. Up to this poin has been purely the gas movement section and all but the both the bronchi and bigger bronchioles have carticalge arounf them and smoothe muscle to control airflow. The alveolar ducts lead into Alveolar Air Sacs that look very much like bunches of grapes. This is where the gas exchange takes place across the very thin cells of the sacs into (and out of) the blood. So maximise the volumes of gas exchanged means you require as much of a surface area as possible and the of all the alveoli together is aound the same as half a tenis court. There is always some air within the alveoli because if there wasnt the fluid lining them would cause such a great surface tension that the sacs would never open again.
Two spongy, saclike organs in the chest cavity.
Is the diaphragm superior to the lungs?
Yes the liver lies below the diaphragm on the right side of the abdomen.
What are some of the signs that one has smoker's lung?
Symptoms of smoker's lung, usually referring to lung cancer, include coughing, which can produce blood and lead to chest pain. Shortness of breath is also common.
What does it mean to have long lungs?
Long lungs is also known as hyperexpanded lungs. When someone has long lungs it means that the person can't breath as much air as others with normal sizes lungs.
Does a frog have gills and lungs?
toads do not have lungs,but they do breathe underwater. their skin absorbs the water which brings the oxygen into their bodies to help them breathe easily underwater.
CORRECTION:
Toads do in fact have lungs. Unlike many frogs, toads have dry skin but when in water they are still able to exchange gases through their skin in its moist state. Nevertheless, toads do have lungs, and draw air into their mouths and using their jaw muscles, force the air down into their lungs using positive pressure. It all depends on the species of toad, but both mechanisms for gas inhalation supplement each other.
