Lungs

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

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.

1. Carbron Dioxide/Oygen Exchange
   • The oxygen gas molecules enter the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs. Carbon dioxide leaves the blood in the capillaries and enters the sacs, changing form from solution to gas, while oxygen moves into the capillaries, changing form from gas to solution.
   Into the Red Blood Cells

   • Most of the oxgyen is picked up by the hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport. The blood carries the oxygenated blood through the pulmonary arteries to the heart.

   Out to the Body

   • As the heart beats, the oxygenated blood flows out of the heart through the aorta and into arteries throughout the body.

   Into the Tissue

   • The oxygenated blood flows from large arteries to smaller arterioles and into capillaries that nourish cells of the tissues.

   Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide Exchange

   • Oxygen leaves the capillaries and flows into the cells. At the same time, carbon dioxide leaves the cells and enters the venous capillaries to return to the lungs.

   Function

   • Oxygen provides the fuel that allows the cells to carry out their functions.

My Dr. Said I had one today. I have just recently had lung surgery and am in healing stage. Anyway, it is when the lung in inflamed and rubs against the chest wall when breathing. It makes a rubbing sort of sound, hence the reason they call it a rub. Usually there is a dull ache/pain where the rub is. It can be in one or more parts of the lung. I was given Prednisone to help get rid of the rub.

All else being equal, lung capacity is a function of the volume of space enclosed by the rib cage, which is essential to the lungs' ability to inflate. Males, with their larger frames, tend to have larger rib cages.

Lung capacity should not be confused with aerobic capacity, the ability of the body to acquire and efficiently use oxygen. That is a function more of physical conditioning than gender -- again, with all else being equal.

You die.

Our lungs do not collapse when we expel air forcefully because our lungs do not ever full fill or empty of air compeletly. A small amount of air remains in the lungs no matter how hard you expel your air.

Breathing rate and the volume of air inside the lungs are related. We have what's called tidal volume that is the amount of air in one inhalation and exhalation when at rest, and we have vital capacity which is how much air is forcibly moved in and out of the lings in one inhalation and exhalation. The lungs expand and become bigger during this process with the help of additional muscles besides just the diaphragm. When your breathing rate increases the size of your lungs do too.
