Lungs

The lungs responsibility is to take in air from the mouth down to the lungs. Then it's pumped in to the blood. The blood then gets oxygenated. Then the air gets blown out again. I'm only 10...

The left lung is slightly smaller than the right lung because 2/3 of the heart is located there. The left lung contains the cardiac notch, an indentation in the lung that surrounds the apex (pointed end) of the heart. The smaller left lung only has 2 lobes, the superior and inferior.

Ground glass lung is a nonspecific finding on lung x-rays. The lungs appear a little more dense than on a normal x-ray, and it's easier to see the vessels and breathing tubes than on a normal x-ray. If the radiologist reports this finding, the health care provider who ordered the chest x-ray will typically undertake additional examination to determine the underlying cause.

Meningitis is inflammation of the three layers of tissue that surround the brain and spinal cord, collectively called the meninges; separately they are the pia mater, dura mater and subarachnoid mater.

THEY DO!! There is always air left within lung when we breathe out.... called Dead Air. If we breathed all the air out from our lungs the lung would collapse bc the walls around the air would touch and stick together like when someone puts a few drops of water in between two plates (dishes).... Everytime we breathe in new fresh air it is instantly diluted with the dead air. So we never are able to get the freshness of outside air to reach bloodstream before dilution... I am informed of this information and Im in college, in fact my anatomy and physiology professor was just discussing this exact information yesterday.... I payed attention lol =) thanks hope this helps...

it is the bronchi

When you breath in the cigarette/cigar/pipe/pot/hookah smoke, you are inhaling. When you breathe out you are exhaling. Sometimes exhaling can be called "making smoke rings" if you try to do something fancy with your breath.

Hi all I no is there is the chest and lungs both have walls with fluid to stop them rubbing. I no this because when I went to doctors about pain in chest he told me I've managed to lose fluid between them causing me nasty pain and them rubbing. ( it was caused by nasty cough I had and I've got it again). Hope this answers abit of your question.

No your lungs cant be replaced because you ll die before you can.

They absorb oxygen, then release carbon dioxide. Like a sponge, it absorbs water, and releases the soap and water mixture.

bronchitis or pneumonia

When we intake air in our lungs, the bronchi present inside our lungs have small openings through which oxygen is diffused in blood vessels and carbon dioxide is diffused out of blood vessels and the blood gets enriched in oxygen content and is moved towards heart from which it is then transported towards various parts of the body in each and every cell. The cells then diffuses oxygen from blood to their power house called mitochondria for power production in form of energy and 'by product' i.e. carbon dioxide is then diffused back in blood which then route towards heart and from heart it is then taken to lungs and he whole process is repeated again and again.

The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. The layers of cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other. This barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron (1/10,000 of a centimeter) in thickness. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.

No. they Don't

Rib cage

It's when you invite your girlfriend over to dinner and light a beautiful candle lit dinner then slit her throat and sacrifice her to the dark lord while chanting a latin ritual, then jizz all over her face as she gets sacrificed to satan

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity. This is done because the lungs become smaller

The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus, and it enters the right lung at roughly the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra. The right main bronchus has 3 subdivisions, which become secondary bronchi also known as lobar bronchi, which deliver air to the 3 lobes of the right lung.

The red blood cells pick it up from the air and take it through the blood stream to the cells in the body.

Pancreatic Cancer is almost 99% fatal even when treated

This practically never happens in clinical practice. You get blood clots from deep veins of the legs. Usually the patient is bed ridden and blood get clotted there. when the clot get dislodged from there, it reaches the lungs to give you pulmonary embolism. That may be a very serious life threatening condition.

smoking

Because in the rainforest there is alot of trees and trees give off oxygen. If there are no trees there is no oxygen and without oxgen you cant breath and then you die. Thatz wy the rainforest is called the lungs of the planet since there is alot of trees in that one area.
