Either of the two main branches leading into the lungs?
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.
What happens when fresh air containing oxygen reaches the lungs?
The red blood cells pick it up from the air and take it through the blood stream to the cells in the body.
What happens if you do not treat pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic Cancer is almost 99% fatal even when treated
Can a blood clot go from your lung to your brain?
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.
Why is the rainforest's called the lungs of the world?
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.
What is the Diagnostic procedure used to assess the volume and airflow rate of the lungs?
A spirometer is used for measuring the amount of air breathed in and out but a more precise measurement of lung volumes may be obtained using plethsmography which involves sitting in an airtight box and breathing gases via a tube.
During a plethsmography you can spend up to an hour in that airtight box ...
The lungs are two air sacks located in the chest. They are a storage place for air.
A lung is an organ in many species that allows the animal to breath and transfer oxygen into their blood.
Saclike respiratory organs in the thorax of humans and the higher vertebrates.
How many lungs do wolves have?
A dog has six lung lobes. The right lung has cranial, middle, caudal and accessory lobes, and the left lung has a cranial and caudal lobe.
Note. The cranial portion of the left lobe also has a cranial and caudal part, so it looks like the left side has three lobes.

What is a disease caused by inflammation of the mucus membranes inside the bronchi tubes?
The term bronchitis is used for a non-specific inflammation of the bronchi, the branches of the trachea that extend into the lungs.
Is there an autoimmune cancer?
No. In an autoimmune disease, the body attacks his own cells which become for unkonwn reason recognized as a foreign body (antigen). While in cancer, certain body cells divide without control. So autoimmune and cancer indicate unrelated terms.
What is the main function of the bronchioles?
There are two primary bronchi which are the first divisions branching off from the trachea to take air into the lungs. The primary bronchi then subdivide into lobar bronchi and then again into tertiary bronchi which continue to divide until they are tiny bronchioles which supply each of the alveoli in the lungs.
The left primary bronchus leads to the left lung and the right primary bronchus leads into the right lung. The bronchi contain rings of hyaline cartilage which help to provide flexible support to the airways.
What happens if no air goes to your lungs?
If you do not get enough Oxygen in your blood you can die.
What does secondary bronchi mean?
There are five (5) secondary bronchi (aka lobar bronchi).
Three (3) on the right:
1) superior lobar bronchi
2) middle lobar bronchi
3) inferior lobar bronchi
And two (2) on the left:
4) superior lobar bronchi
5) inferior lobar bronchi
How does the structure of the primary bronchi compare with that of the trachea?
Trachea contain cartilage rings, and is the long tube that goes to the lungs. The bronchi contain cartilage plates and are the branching tubes that go to the lungs.
Oxygen is transfered into the blood at alveoli. Oxygen travels along the pulmonary vein into the left ventricle of the heart. It then travels along the aorta to the body tissues, gathering impure blood (CO2) along the way. Travels back to the heart via the Vena Cava and all impure blood is emptied into the right atrium of the heart, before it travels back to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
Do sea turtles have lungs and gills?
This is actually a hard question to answer.
Because Turtles can actually diffuse oxygen from the water with what is commonly referred to as Bum Gills. They aren't actually gills, but have the similar function.
