Lungs

Cancer is a disease that makes body cells turn wicky-wacko and replace all the good cells, and that eventually turns your body parts wicky-wacko. and you can die from it becuz its really bad 4 u. you can eat a cancer by chewing on it, then you get canser :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D yes u can get cancer cuz judith said so! :D my mom said im special!

Blood is the conduit for oxygen around the human body. If the blood did not circulate through the lungs, oxygen could not be carried around the body. Added to that, decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide is also an essential function of the lungs; the deoxygenised blood needs to relieve itself of the carbon dioxide and collect the oxygen again. The carbon dioxide is then breathed out via the lungs.

The diaphragm below the lungs, which one of the body's strongest muscles, lowers and raises again, drawing air into the lungs and pushing it back out again. "Hiccups" (hiccoughs) are caused when a stimulus of the vagus nerve triggers a sudden lowering of the diaphragm, drawing air in and forcing the vocal cords closed in the larynx.

Right bronchus

To make room for millions, if not billions, of alveoli, small air sacs used to capture air to be dissolved into your blood.

Bird's have lungs, and no gills, because they are birds, which have lungs, and are not very aquatic. Some birds go underwater, like pelicans and penguins, but they have to surface from time to time. They can hold their breath for a long time, but they still have to breath occasionly.

The parietal pleura.
Pleura is the outer covering of Lungs
The pleurae are the membranes covering the lungs.
The membrane is called the pleura, which is named the parietal pleura for the portion of the membrane covering the inner chest wall and the visceral pleura for the portion of the membrane covering the lung. The potential space between the visceral and parietal pleurae is called the pleural cavity.
its called pleural membrane surrounding the lungs n also contain pleural fluid reduces friction during breathing

The lungs act a bit like baloons. When you breathe in they will inflate, when you breathe out they will deflate. Using a balloon may be useful way to understand this, breathe into the balloon and it will inflate (this is what happens when you breathe in). Next, leave the air out (slowly) and this is what happens your lungs when you breathe out.

lung cancer is the easiest to prevent, every year 170 000(around that) Americans are diagnosed with it each year, lung cancer is the 4th most common cancer for men. I am doing a school project on this right now and I am guessing you have a project for it too. If you are, hope you get an A.

The Trachea leads to the lungs!!! hope this helped! ♥ plumplums

bronchoscopy

I'm not to sure on how much the air inside your lung weighs but what I do know is this...

Together, the two lungs contain about 2500 km of airways and, if stretched out, have a total surface area of 70 m2 which is roughly the same area as a tennis court.

On top of that, if all the capillaries surrounding the alveoli were stretched out end to end, they would extend up to 992 km.

Each of your lungs weigh about 2.5 pounds, which makes them together weigh roughly 5 pounds.

I really hope this helps! ;)

One of the similarities of lungs and gills is that both are used for breathing in and out. Only that gills are found in fishes and young amphibians and lungs are found in birds, mammals, reptiles and adult amphibians.

i think there are 1000 air sacs

The tissue of the sacs of the lungs has potential of regenerative growth of up to 80% of damaged tissue. Grape seed extract adds up to 80% of regenerative growth capability of damaged lung sac tissue.

Breathing. Kidding aside, the breathing centre in the brain is constantly receiving signals from the body about the amount of oxygen that is needed. This will depend on how active you are. When you are asleep you will need far less oxygen than when you are running. When you are asleep you will breathe more slowly, and when you are running, you will breathe more rapidly. Once the brain knows how much oxygen is needed, it sends messages along nerves to the breathing muscles so that the right amount of air is breathed into the lungs.

Probably it's because it keeps the lungs moist so it doesn't dry out. Also, it's because if the air & temperature outside the body is so cold it hurts/you're breathing very hard/etc, you will definitely want warm air to warm up your body as much as possible. The body needs to stay at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to operate at maximum efficiency. Once your body goes above or below that, it stops working very well & behaves differently & oddly. The body heats up when you're sick to try to kill the infection, but it can't survive once it reaches somewhere between 100 & 106 or 108 degrees Fahrenheit; and the same when it becomes very very intolerably cold. So cold that your body's temperature starts to drop to a very dangerously low temperature and eventually shuts down. They describe the details in Perfect Disaster: Ice Storm.

The space between the 2 lungs is called the Mediastinum where the heart is located

No, bronchioles do not contain mucous glands.

once every 2 year or months

The lungs supply the blood with oxygen for other parts of the body so they can operate and produce ATP. Your lungs breath out the co2, which is one of the products of cell respiration.

it depends on the seriousness but on average it is around 3 months - 6 months max it depends on the seriousness but on average it is around 3 months - 6 months max

Lungs do not actively expand and contract by themselves. A muscle below the lungs called the diaphragm acts as a bellow, creating negative pressure within the abdominal cavity that holds the lungs to allow air to rush in and out the lungs.

I do it constantly, and Ive never had pneumonia? Since pneumonia is defined as:

" A respiratory disease characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (excluding the bronchi) with congestion caused by viruses or bacteria or irritants ", I would have to say no. While swallowing liquids the incorrect way may be irritating, it is very brief. I do believe pneumonia is something that progresses over time, and not in a period as short as the coughing that follows what we are discussing.
