When is blood bright red coming from the lungs or going back to the lungs?
oxygen makes it red
I would think it has to do with the amount of oxygen in the blood stream.
Where does gas exchange occur between the lungs and blood?
An alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the dead ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.
Air enters through the oropharynx or nasopharynx to the trachea to the bronchii to the alveoli of the lungs to the blood vessels of the pulmonary vein to the heart to the arteries to the capillaries to the veins to the heart to the pulmonary artery to the alveoli of the lungs to the bronchii through the trachea out of the naso or oropharynx and back into the atmosphere to the broadleaf plants to the atmosphere to the . . .
What warms and humidify air on its way to the lungs?
nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses
Nose
The air breathed in get warmed by its own due to body temperature.The filtering is required so that the pathogens do not enter our body and cause diseases.
This occurs in the nasopharynx.
nose
In the nose.
How is endometrial cancer treated?
It is possible to need chemotherapy for cervical cancer; first of all, surgeons will try to remove the tumor by means of surgery, but you may need chemotherapy after.
If you do need chemotherapy for any reason, don't worry about it! I had to have it as I had breast cancer for three years. I had to spend a long time in hospital (about 2 years), but what kept me going was the thought that I knew I was going to get better and I had friends, family and even teachers hoping that I got well again.
Also, if you are worried about losing your hair, DON'T PANIC! This happened to me and in the end, I decided to shave it all off because it hurt more waking up in the morning seeing clumps of hair that had fallen out over night on my pillow. When you shave all of your hair off, you feel more comfortable and you could make some fun out of it. (My hair was down to my bum, it was hard to bear the thought, but after all, you'd sooner lose you hair then have cancer.)
If you want any more advice on how to cope, just let me know! I got through it and I hope you do too! Get well soon!
What gland is located between the lungs?
Heart lies in mediastinum. The wall of mediastinum and phrenic nerve lies between the heart and lungs. Phrenic nerve supply to the diaphragm.
Hilar adenopathy is a term for enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.
Which body cavity contains the lungs?
The lungs are located in the THORAX, within the rib cage, which is designed to protect the soft and fragile lungs from injury. There is a left and a right lung, and each lung has several compartments, or lobes.
When a person has broken a rib, it actually is possible for that broken edge of the rib to puncture the lung on the side of the break, which is why it is customary to get an x-ray of the area after an injury. Fortunately, such complications occur infrequently and most broken or "cracked" ribs will heal after several weeks without requiring any treatment or intervention, although in the meantime there is associated discomfort when attempting to lay on that side or sometimes when taking a deep breath.
Where do you listen first when auscultating lungs?
Hearing the heart sounds requires proper pressure of the diaphragm of a stethoscope to the skin. To hear the pulmonary valve, a stethoscope is placed directly below the valve along the sternum above the third rib. The bicuspid valve is best heard between the fifth and sixth ribs at the apex of the heart. The aortic valve is heard best on the opposite side of the sternum from the pulmonary in the second intercostal space. The tricuspid valve is best heard where the sternum and sixth rib join.
What is the human gas exchange?
The small intestine has millions of villi, which are little pill-like cells with hair-looking things coming out of them. This increases the surface area and allows a bigger chance for diffusion to take place.
Yes, air fresheners contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer. As an example, Women who use air freshener have doubled risk of breast cancer.
Why is the right lung slightly larger than the left lung?
the left lung is smaller to make room for the heart.. the right lung has 3 lobes and the left lung only has 2 lobes..
What is the name of the tube that connects the larynx to the right and left bronchi?
two tubes that connect the trachea and to bronchioles
How much space would all the air sacs in the lungs of an adult cover?
no one knows, this is a very stupid question, why do you need to know this??
What is at the end of every bronchiole?
The bronchi (their bronchioles) end in the air sacs (alveoli). These are where oxygen enters the blood vessels, and carbon dioxide is removed.
What part makes your lungs inflate (expand) and deflate (contract)?
Using your muscles to voluntarily force the diaphragm lower into the abdomen will cause air to be drawn into the lungs. Lowering the lung pressure in this way is the only way to expand your own lungs. It is possible to expand them using compressed air, as with a ventilator or CPAP device (continuous positive airway pressure).
What is an abnormal lung condition caused by occupational exposures to asbestes particles?
The answer to that would be Cancer
What does the trachea and bronchi contain to keep the air passage open?
Hyaline cartilage, which also covers the ends of bones at the joints, which reduces friction during movement.
What picks up oxygen in the lungs?
Bronchi are in the lungs. Off the two bronchi branches are broncioles and off of those are alveoli which take in the oxygen
