Lungs

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.

Where is connective tissue in the lungs?

elastic connective tissue is found in the lungs. The tissue is able to extend when forces are applied to stretch it, yet returned undamaged to its previous condition when the force is released.

What is serous membrane of the lungs?

The pleural membrane which contains fluid to prevent friction

How does the diaphragm pull air into and out of the lungs?

When the diaphragm expands, causes the lungs to become smaller forcing all the air in the lungs to be pushed out since there is more pressure. When the diaphragm contracts, it makes more room for the lungs to expand, forcing air in the lungs since there is more space.

How does the air that humans breathe enter the lungs?

air enters the blood from the lungs by a chemical called hemoglobin which makes your blood red. As air enters your lungs if fills up a number of tiny membrane sacks that are covered in tiny capillaries(blood vessels)the oxygen is pulled through the membrane and attracted to the hemoglobin where is it moved through the body to provide chemical energy for your body while at the same time swapping the oxygen with Co2 which then does the opposite and leaves the lungs.

please feel free to add anything that i have missed.

Where are the lungs found in the body?

The lungs are found inside the chest. They are protected by the ribs. The windpipe joins the lungs to the mouth. The lungs are pink in colour because of the blood vessels. The lungs feel spongy when touched. They float in water because of the air inside them.

What effects your lungs?

Asthma is the result of an allergic reaction, which affects the lungs by inflaming the linings of the bronchioles, making it harder to breathe and creating the 'wheezing' sound.

With asthma there are 3 elements to it.

1) inflammation

2)mucus plugging

3)bronchospasm

When you get an asthma attack you have to be exposed to an irritant which causes inflammation in the bronchioles. Because of this inflammation your body produces extra mucus which creates mucus plugging and then you get bronchospasm which decreases the size of the bronchioles which creates the wheezing sound when an asthmatic exhales. With this decrease in bronchioles the body is unable to exhale air in the lungs which becomes trapped. After a while the pressure can build up to a point where you can't breathe anymore and you could have a collapsed lung which could become tense and with that pressure on the heart, could go in to cardiac arrest.

How are your lungs different?

The only real difference between the two lungs is that the one on the left side is smaller than the one on the right to make room for the heart, but other than that they are the same, and having two increases efficency and allows more oxygen to be diffused into the blood.

How do the epithelial cells stop dust from entering the lungs?

They don't the only way to keep dirt from going into your throat is to breathe through your nose where your nose hair and mucus provide traps for dirt.

Yout throat cells have tiny hairs which trap and prevent dust and dirt from going into your body, you also have these cells in your nose too.

Is cancer internal?

Some cancers are internal, such as colon cancer and breast cancer, while others are external, like skin cancers.

What is considered sterile?

There are many categories in defining sterile conditions. However, there is one simple answer to finalized it. Sterile condition is where the condition is cool and the temperature is being take care.

For example, in done the the experiment of membrane, the condition alwayd need to be in sterile condition. The room temperature need to maintain in cold condition. This will lead to avoid the bacteria and effect the results of the experiments.

Air sacs give what to the blood?

It doesn't. But the body is able to extract oxygen from the air and into the blood through the thin walls of the inside structyre of the lungs. It also rids itseld of carbon dioxide by dumping it back into the air through the membranes.

What causes air to enter and leave the lungs?

The air inside our lungs moves in and out because of the movement of the diaphragm as well as the ribs and chest cavity. When we breath in our ribs push out and our diaphragm contracts to create a larger cavity inside your lungs. This causes an area of low pressure which therefore forces air down our trachea into our lungs. When we breath out the opposite happens (diaphragm relaxes and ribs pull in) which creates a smaller cavity in our lungs what therefore forces the air out of our lungs once respiration has taken place.

It should be noted that during inspiration as the intercostal muscles expand the rib cage and the diaphragm (more important for volume change) moves inferiorly, this creates negative pressure in the thoracic cavity relative to the atmospheric pressure.. consequently due to the pressure gradient, air can move into the lungs via the trachea. The negative pressure that is caused here is the main propellent of air. Whereas expiration, when the diaphragm and intercostal muscles return to resting position, thus restoring pressure to its normal levels is a passive process. The pressure gradient returns to normal and air can be expired.

The importance of the negative pressure created by the intrapleural cavity cannot be stressed enough.

How many miles of airway are in a pair of human lungs?

On average, there are approximately 1500 miles of airways in an adult human.

How does iron deficiency anaemia affect the circulatory system digestive system and respiratory system?

The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system's way of getting oxygen to the blood.

What causes oxygen level in blood to drop when walking?

There are a few different causes of AMH levels to drop, but the most common one is age. As women get older, their AMH levels naturally decrease. This is because the production of eggs decreases as women get older, and this is why you may notice a decrease in your fertility as you get older. Other factors that can contribute to a decrease in AMH levels include stress, weight loss, and menopause. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's important to get yourself tested for your AMH levels and see if there's anything that can be done to improve them.

How much does an Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) test cost?

The amh test cost in Delhi from Redcliffe Labs is INR 1499.00, which is the most affordable pricing that you can get for the check up in Delhi and pan India.

How do carcinogens cause lung cancer?

Carcinogens produce mutations within DNA, inside cells. Usually this results in the death of the cell, but sometimes, if multiple mutations occur, the cell will start to reproduce uncontrollably, which results in cancer.

Can someone fly with a collapsed lung?

Yes you can fly with lung cancer being in a airplane is like being in a car with all the windows rolled up

The human body has how much lungs?

Normally a person has 2 lungs... but its possible to live with just 1

How can marijuana affect you?

#1

You get hungry, sometimes dizzy, everything is kind of exaggerated, giggly, lazy.

When using it, the immediate effects could be:

Alteration of perception, intensification of your senses, slower perceived time flow, sexual impulse, altered sense of coordination, uncontrollable laughter, etc.

After a while:

Hungry, sleepy and maybe lazy.

The next day:

Lazy. (or the moment u wake up after taking a nap from using it)

Other physical effects:

Red eyes (can be fixed with eye drops, but don't abuse eye drops they can be harmful if over used.)
