Why do the left blinker lights not work while the right ones do on my 1992 Lincoln Town Car?
I had this same problem with my 1994 Town Car. After closely looking (the third time) at all the lamps I finally found one that wasn't working. I found it by turning on the hazards. The tail lights have two bulbs, top and bottom. It isn't obvious that one is out when you just turn the blinker on and look, but if you turn on the hazard flashers you can compare left and right to make sure that both sides are balanced. If that doesn't do it, it could still be the flasher relay module, other bulbs, or the switch on the column. But be sure to check ALL the bulbs first. The Town Car has about 4 bulbs on each side which flash with the blinker.

Why is it impossible to rid all the air out of the lungs?
Because in its original, relaxed state, the lung is still hollow and does not collapse on itself. It only expands, and then contracts to its original state. It does not shut tight.
An aqualung is a piece of equipment consisting of an oxygen tank and breathing apparatus used by divers to allow them to breathe underwater at depth.
How does the respiratory system interact with other systems?
It interacts with the circulatory system. When you breathe in oxygen, the blood in your circulatory system carries that oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of the body.
Why are infant lung volumes relatively lower than those of adults?
If you picture it in your mind they are smaller all over than adults so all of their organs are smaller and that goes for the lung volume as well.
These volumes are needed when there is suspicion of restrictive pattern, which can be presented along with obstructive pattern with FVC < 80%.
How does the air moves in and out of the lungs?
It is called breathing. Breathing is the movement of the chest that brings air into the lungs and removes waste gases. The air entering the lungs contain oxygen. It passes from the lungs into the circulatory system because there is less oxygen in blood when it enters the lungs than in the cells of the lungs.
