Where does your snot come from?
Mucus in the nose is used to collect foreign particles (dirt, dust, germs) before they enter the lungs. It can drip from the sinuses and from the interior of the nose, or it may dry within the nose. There is very little solid material in the mucus itself.
What is upper lobe kochs infection?
Koch's infection means infection by tuberculosis causing bacteria. Upper lobe is usually involved. Exact reason for this is not known. Probably the upper lobe is poorly ventilated.
What is the function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs?
-Sheshi
Aveolar macrophages work to break up surfactanct in the aveoli which exists to decrease surface tension in the lungs. If there is a disorder where the macrophage does not function correctly, such as in PAP, the surfactant will not be broken up and decreased ventilation will occur resulting in less oxygen delivery.
How your lungs turns blacks when you do drugs?
Chemicals in the drugs and by extension the smoke that affects your lungs
Yes, cats can live with only one lung, however you need to get a vet's advice on how to care for it. :)
How does buildup of mucus in air passages affect breathing?
With the build up of mucus in the lungs it would make it harder to breathe then you would have a cold and start coughing and then it would make stress on your breathing and you would not inhale as much air as you normaly would.

My dad was just diagnosed with Melanoma in the lungs and the doc said he doesn't have a crystal ball and everyone is different, but from his experience you can live anywhere from 10 months to 2 years. My dad will undergo Chemo and a clinical trial. If the Cancer does not respond to the treatments then they will stop and he will just live life and enjoy the time he has with us. This is one of the most aggressive Cancers and Chemo does not respond well, but prayers and a positive attitude is a must.
Will you turn into a balloon if you can't burp?
No, you wont turn into a balloon, But the gas will find a way out and just go out the other end.
By what other names are lung perfusion scans and lung ventilation scans referred?
perfusion lung scan, aerosol lung scan, radionucleotide ventilation lung scan, ventilation lung scan, xenon lung scan, ventilation/perfusion scanning (VPS), pulmonary scintiphotography, or, most commonly, V/Q scan
What is a sentence using bronchi?
You just said it.
Here are much more sentences.
The bronchi are large air tubes leading from the trachea to the lungs that convey air to and from the lungs. The bronchi have cartilage as part of their supporting wall structure. The trachea divides to form the right and left main bronchi which, in turn, divide to form thelobar, segmental, and finally the subsegmental bronchi.
Inhaling talc is bad for your lungs?
Any fine particulate is bad for the lungs as the material adheres inside the lung and decreases gas-exchange. In some cases, as with coal dust, the damage is irreversible over time.
Why is there an film of liquid in the pleural cavity?
The pleural space contains this fluid to reduce friction between the interior chest wall lining and the exterior lung surface lining. Think of two pieces of flat glass pane one on top of the other. With a tiny amount of liquid between them the glass pieces slide across each other easily; without the liquid the glass pieces are more difficult to move. The pleural liquid provides this ability for the two linings to move easily as the lung and chest wall expand and contract during inspiration and expiration. The pleural space is not truly a space as we might think of as an air containing room, but rather a compartment filled with a thin serous type fluid. The fluid is rather static. That is to say the body physiologically maintains the amount of fluid at a constant level. Given infections or other intrusions into the pseudo space, the fluid content may increase and become painful; ie pleurisy. That is the overall simplified version to answer your question. There are many other issues surrounding the pleural space but that would go much further into your question.
What are the tiny projections that sweep trapped paricles and mucus away from the lungs?
The tiny projections are called cilia.
Do staffies get testicle cancer?
Any entire (not neutered) male can get testicle cancer, it does not matter the breed. This disease can only be treated by castration or it can spread and become life-threatening. Of course, neutered males cannot get this disease and so it is a wise idea to neuter a male that is not needed for breeding. This operation also reduces or eliminates some aggression and hyper-sexual behaviour and the surgery is almost completely risk free.
No, they do not need any. The only valve that has anything to do with the lungs is at the top of the trachea (windpipe) and closes off the lungs when you swallow, it is called the epiglottis.
