How do you spell bronchi?

The correct spelling of the medical condition of the lungs is "bronchitis".

What part of your lungs inflate and deflate?

Action of the diaphragm causes healthy lungs to inflate in whole like a balloon.
Doctors have said that the average person does not breath properly, thereby not filling our lungs with sufficient air to help purify our blood. We should do daily exercises of deep beathing or get into the habit of breathing more deeply than we do.

Why can't humans breathe when their lungs fill up with water?

When the lungs fill up with water, such as in drowning or near-drowning scenarios, the oxygen in the air cannot reach the bloodstream to be distributed to the body's tissues. Instead, water creates a physical barrier that prevents oxygen exchange in the alveoli, leading to a lack of oxygen supply and ultimately suffocation.

What structure in a cell performs a function similar to a function of the human lungs?

Human lungs provide an exchange of gases. The closest thing to it in cells is the cellular membrane, which allows some gas to pass into the cell, and others, to go out.

What is a tissue that lines air passages?

How are gills and lungs are alike?

What could a sizable and movable soft lump to the left of your spine be in between the bottom of the waist and top of your butt with a light ache at the site but generalized muscular and joint pain?

It could be something called a myofascial nodule... When you've hurt your back in the past, was the back pain located in this area and you discovered the nodule at that time? If so, it would be that... It's a small torn/irritated muscle & connective tissue area called "myofascial" nodule... It could also be a sebaceous cyst... Has it ever appeared to be infected and/or drained pus?? Highly unlikely it would be a fatty (benign) tumor in that area...

Why is the trachea connected to the lungs?

The trachea, better known as the "windpipe" is the consolidation of all the bronchi in the lungs. It is necessary to carry air from the environment into the lungs, and to return the carbon dioxide.

Gills on fish work differently and don't require a single passageway to the mouth, but the respiration of fish is somewhat different than humans. Perhaps one problem with gills in the atmosphere would be a drying of the mucous membranes which would quickly lead to suffocation.

Without the trachea, we also would not be able to easily form speech with the mouth, although some people with tracheotomies have learned to speak using air in their stomach.

What is the difference between the mind and the heart and soul?

Everything we think is thought in the brain. So, the 'mind' is just our everyday way of saying the 'brain'. Sometimes when we want to talk about feelings, which are a very special kind of thinking, we talk about the 'heart'.

Of course the heart is really only a muscle for pumping blood through the body, but the ancients thought that it was also tied up in some way with our feelings. Since they did not understand physiology, the ancients simply decided that thoughts came from the mind and the heart.

To some, the soul is also an imaginary part of our bodies. Certainly, this is true when we talk of an artist having 'soul'. But, in many religions the soul is also a spirit that forms part of a person and will inhabit an afterlife when the body has died.

The soul is our "higher self", our essence. It is immaterial and feeds off spiritual nourishment. It is where we feel pleasure and where we are, our life almost.

The mind is where we calculate how to receive pleasure, where we make decisions between what is right and wrong and how we live out lives. It is our "self", our consience.

The heart is an organ, it keeps us alive and so is essential to us. It is also the organ that - mythically - governs our feelings. This is in fact false, because we do it with our brain, but there is no denying the fact that it is an important symbological tradition.

Name the respiratory surface in the lungs?

Respiratory surface is the region where gaseous exchange occur. It includes respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct and alveolus. Large surface surface is needed the increase the diffusion rate of gaseous. Respiratory surface also exhibit other properties such as moist and only one-cell thick.

Can you get lung cancer from being a electrician?

Lung cancer is caused by an exposure to certain carcinogens- cancer causing things. ONE of those tinhs is asbestos. At one time, SOME electrical wiring was insulated with asbestos, as well as building insulation, dry wall mud, plaster, etc that an electrician would disturb. While it would be POSSIBLE to have an occupational exposure to lung cancer, for an electrician it would be pretty remote.
