Lungs

Your lungs do not hold the heart. Heart is placed in the mediastinum between both the lungs. Two third part of the heart is on the left side of plane that passes from mid-line. So heart has more impression on the left lung as compared to right lung.

Blood comes into your heart through the veins all throughout the body, it enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava, leaves the heart though the pulmonary artery, enters the lungs, gets oxygen, enters the heart again through the pulmonary veins, and then leaves the heart and goes back throughout the body through the aorta.

So blood travels from the heart, to the lungs, back to the heart, than out the heart and all through the body.

The alveoli transports oxygen from the lungs into the circulatory system.

Another Answer: They work together by inhaling and exhaling . The heart pumps blood into the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. The blood is then returned to the heart and the newly oxygenated blood is circulated to the rest of the body. The respiratory system performs a process known as gas exchange that releases carbon dioxide from the body and brings in oxygen. This occurs in the lungs and the circulatory system then transports the oxygen to tissues that used internal respiration to burn fuel in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy, thus creating more carbon dioxide.

More to the Answer You breathe in oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs and the thin walls of the blood vessels in the lungs into the blood stream. Here it attaches to the hemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells. The red blood cells are carried by the blood vessels to all parts of the body. The hemoglobin releases oxygen in the periphery, and picks up carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 attached to the hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells is then transported to the lungs, where it diffuses across the walls into the alveoli, and is breathed out.

Additional Information The heart pumps blood into the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. The blood is then returned to the heart and the newly oxygenated blood is circulated to the rest of the body.

The respiratory system performs a process known as gas exchange that releases carbon dioxide from the body and brings in oxygen. This occurs in the lungs and the circulatory system then transports the oxygen to tissues that used internal respiration to burn fuel in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy, thus creating more carbon dioxide.

They work hand in hand to provide the tissues of the body with oxygen. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood and the circulatory system sends it to the rest of the body.

Lung cancer itself typically doesn't directly affect hearing in the same way that it can impact the respiratory system. However, certain factors associated with lung cancer and its treatments could indirectly affect hearing:

Chemotherapy: Some chemotherapy drugs used to treat lung cancer can have side effects on the nervous system, including the nerves responsible for hearing. This could potentially lead to hearing changes or issues.

Medications: Certain medications prescribed for pain management, symptom control, or to manage side effects of treatment might have auditory effects as a side effect.

Infections and Complications: Lung cancer and its treatments can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. In some cases, infections that affect the ears or the auditory system might occur.

Surgery: If surgery is required as part of lung cancer treatment, there could be a risk of damage to nearby nerves that are involved in hearing, although this is relatively rare.

Overall Health: The general decline in health associated with advanced lung cancer or aggressive treatments could indirectly affect various bodily systems, potentially including hearing.

It's important to note that any changes in hearing should be evaluated by a medical professional. If you or someone you know is experiencing changes in hearing while undergoing lung cancer treatment, it's advisable to discuss these symptoms with a healthcare provider. They can assess whether the changes are related to lung cancer, its treatments, or other factors and provide appropriate guidance and care.

The purpose of the lung is to provide a large surface area in a conveniently folded up form, where gas exchange can take place efficiently, allowing oxygen to enter the body and carbon dioxide to leave.

gaseous exchange takes place when the volume of the chest cavity is increased or decreased.

Alveoli which are in your lungs

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

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.

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.

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.

They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found

They all part of the excretory system. Kidney is well known organ of excretion. The volatile substances are excreted by lungs. Sweat glands also excretes few substances. (Like heavy metals, probably.)

Not necessarily, but in general, yes.

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...

Always front to back. Always.

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.

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.

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.

The respiratory system.

The volume of air moved into or out of the lungs during quiet breathing.

That is not possible. The fluid is collected in millions of very small air spaces.
