Lungs

Blood Clots in the veins of Legs is a medical condition better known as DVT or Deep Venous Thrombosis. It is potentially life threatening condition and needs treatment --the sooner the better. There are a number of predisposing factors which may lead to DVT-- trauma, History of Surgery, prolonged immobilization, oral contraceptive pill intake in women > 35 years who are also smokers, long travel history, malignancy, clotting disorder etc. The blood clot may migrate to the lungs and cause a life threatening condition known as PE or pulmonary embolism manifested by sudden onset of shortness of breath, chest pain. Hence once a person is diagnosed with DVT, immediate treatment with anti coagulants are initiated by the physician.

There are two lungs simply called the left and right lungs. These large structures take up most of the Thoracic Cavity which changes tize in order to pull air in or push it out of the lung. The right lung has three Lobes (parts that sit on top of each other) While the left lung has only 2. This is because the left ventricle of the heart sits over to the left and takes up some of the space the left lung would otherwise inhabit. The left lung has a curved gap for the heart called the Cardiac Notch.

bronchi (singular bronchus)

--Allison

your lungs silly through your mouth and nose. unless you are talking about gas and that is a chemical reaction inside your body and that's a different kind of air. or an accidental needle air bubble can be put in the vien but that kills you

the diaphragm is a muscle located below the lungs. When the muscle tissue of the diaphragm contracts, it moves down, creating a vacuum inside the lungs, and pulling air into them. To breathe out, the diaphragm simply relaxes, springs back up, and the air is expelled. Not all of the air ever comes out of the lungs during an exhale.

Smoking can seiously damage your health and people around you. You can get cancer and die also befor that you will get yellow teeth smell horrible and your lungs will start to get black tar on them which makes it harder for you to breeth so please please stop smoking iit can kill you!!!!!!!

Alveoli

alveoli - air sacs in your lungs

It is usually warmer, but not always. The temperature of the interior of your body is about 98-99 degrees Fahrenheit. So when you breathe in air that's cooler than that, the air is warmed by your lungs, and so it's warmer when it comes out. However, if the air you're breathing in is hotter than your body temperature, like say 105 degrees in the desert, the air will actually be cooled by your lungs, and will come out cooler than when it went in.

Smoking really but also it's dead tissue that'll go away eventually. But go to the hospital

Cathy is right about no rainforest producing half of the world's oxygen, but she is absolutely wrong about plants not providing a significant amount of oxygen. The truth is that 98% of the world's atmospheric oxygen comes from plant life. Half of that 98% comes from phytoplankton in the oceans. The other half comes from plant-life on the surface. So, no individual rain forest can account for anywhere near half of the oxygen. In fact, it is now believed that rain forests are oxygen neutral meaning they use as much as they produce (after all, there are innumerable species and animals in the rain forest).

I don't believe that any rainforest produces anywhere near that amount of oxygen. I am terrible with names, but I had the opportunity to ask a very highly acclaimed and reputable scientist about oxygen-making plants, leaves, etc. His response got my attention. He said that plants do not provide a significant amount of oxygen, and rainforests do not provide a significant amount of oxygen. He said it is a myth that they produce anywhere near a significant amount of oxygen. Probably perpetuated by someone who is trying to save a rainforest, and they are trying to think up reasons why we should think they are valuable and worth saving.

I happen to be a person who loves forests of all kinds, and who wants to see forests instead of shopping malls! However, I love the truth. Very likely the truth about the rainforests is that their greatest value is to provide habitat for marvelous animals and plants. I also believe that people have not fully explored the possibilities inside a rainforest. There are probably new species and varieties of plants, animals, birds, insects, etc. that may potentially be valuable to us.

I believe that a rainforest has a great deal of value to us as the rainforest it is. I don't believe it has much value as a source of oxygen for human beings. But there are so many other great values contained inside the rainforest that I see no reason to try to make up things about it!

Forests are full of trees, and for animal and human respiration, trees are important. Plants and trees use carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis, the waste output being oxygen, which then supplies animals and humans with oxygen to breathe. Trees contribute towards providing breathable air for all animal species, therefore they are called the lungs of the earth.

Because most of the Amazon Rainforest is within its borders, and the Amazon Rainforest prduces most of the oxygen we use to breathe.

All the way to the deepest depth 11,110 meters.

Medical professionals can do this by injecting a radioactive isotope into the bloodstream and follow it's progress using imaging equipment (MRI for eg).

I can't think of way to do this at home.

If you wanted to check the blood supply to your foot, press your toe with your finger, once you have moved your finger, the area should look white briefly then go back to a pinky colour similar to the rest of your foot fairly quickly.

The lungs hold air that is breathed in. Oxygen gas in the air moves into the blood. The heart pumps to transports this oxygenated blood to cells in the body that need it to produce energy.

Factors such as gender, physical fitness, age, height, and weight can all affect lung capacity. This page offers an explanation on how they affect it: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2003-04/1050155434.An.r.html

the pulmonary system.

The motto of American Lung Association is 'It's a matter of life and breath.'.

You have pulmonary aorta that arises from the right ventricle. It splits into right and left branches. The branches most probably continue to divide with the bronchi. Ultimately you have the network of the capillaries to cover the alveoli.

The descending aorta is divided into two portions, the thoracic and abdominal, in correspondence with the two great cavities of the trunk in which it is situated.

The descending thoracic aorta is located in posterior mediastinum.

Blood flows through the walls of the lungs to release carbon dioxide and to absorb oxygen for distribution throughout the body.

yes they have one heart that runs through a large part of it's body

Human brain, computer can only be programmed to perform the brain can think for itself and be trained to be faster than any computer. It was somebodys brain that invented the computer so it's quite obvious really, not to mention the only reason numbers exist is because we thought them up and the computer cannot do the things that human can do!!!

this is the thoracic cavity, the space between the neck and the abdomen, this contains the lungs, heart & the main artery called the aorta, the lungs are covered by a membrane called the pleura which holds the lungs in situ and is the area affected by pleurisy, if air or gasses are allowed to permeate this area outside the lungs the vacuum that enables breathing is compromised and a collapsed lung can occur.
