Yes, the bronchi are located in the thoracic cavity.

The easiest way to tell on a R-134a system: The Low Pressure valve or Blue is on the big A/C Hose which gets cold. The high pressure or red, is on the smaller A/C hose which gets very hot!. NEVER recharge through the red service port. Pressure in excess of 200 psi are possible!!

There is a tumor marker for some cancers of the colon; it is known as carcinoembryonic antigen, or CEA. Unfortunately, this protein may be made by other adenocarcinomas as well, or it may not be produced by a particular colon cancer.

Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/ This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights. See if your car is listed here. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/vehicles_list.aspx On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident. The flashing light on your car is telling the answer you need. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing. Airbagsolutions.com has the fault code charts to tell you what is wrong and how to fix it!

Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool.

it does not cause "lung fungus" although you may develop a lung infection from smoking a moldy bud and it's not good for your lungs anyways

Almost all human tissue can regenerate.

The regeneration process might create some scar-tissue but yes. Lungs can regenerate..........

Human lungs 'brush' themselves clean of contaminants

Friday, September 07, 2012 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer

Human lungs contain a tiny network of constantly moving "brushes" that flush contaminants out of the respiratory system, according to research conducted by scientists from the University of North Carolina and published in the journal Science.

Scientists have known for a long time that the respiratory system protects itself by means of a coating of mucus, which is sticky enough to trap pollutants and keep them from reaching the body's cells. When needed, the body can expel this mucus through a runny nose or a cough.

"The air we breathe isn't exactly clean, and we take in many dangerous elements with every breath," said lead researcher Michael Rubinstein.

"We need a mechanism to remove all the junk we breathe in, and the way it's done is with a very sticky gel, called mucus, that catches these particles and removes them with the help of tiny cilia. The cilia are constantly beating, even while we sleep.

"In a coordinated fashion, they push mucus, containing foreign objects, out of the lungs, and we either swallow it or spit it out. These cilia even beat for a few hours after we die. If they stopped, we'd be flooded with mucus that provides a fertile breeding ground for bacteria."

But until now, researchers have never understood why the mucus does not stick to or even infiltrate the respiratory cells themselves. The foremost theory, known as the "gel-on-liquid model," posited that an as-yet-undiscovered watery "periciliary" layer kept mucus and cilia separate. The problem with this theory was always that to the best of scientific knowledge, mucus should eventually dissolve into such a watery layer, not remain separate.

"We can't have a watery layer separating sticky mucus from our cells because there is an osmotic pressure in the mucus that causes it to expand in water," Rubinstein says. "So what is really keeping the mucus from sticking to our cells?"

"Gel-on-brush"

To get to the bottom of the mystery, the researchers used modern imaging techniques to examine the interior of the lungs. They found a dense network of brush-like structures that sit atop the cilia. These brushes are composed of protective molecules that keep both mucus and contaminants from getting to the respiratory cells beneath. These molecules also function as a second line of defense against viruses or bacteria that manage to penetrate the mucus.

Stephen Spiro of the British Lung Foundation said the findings could help significantly improve scientific understanding of lung function.

"Mucus has a complex biological make-up and forms a vital part of the lungs' defense mechanism," he said.

"Research such as this helps our understanding [of] how this system works, and of the complex mechanisms deep within our lungs which protect us from the atmosphere we breathe in."

Rubinstein and his fellow researchers noted that their findings may also explain previously mysterious lung disorders from Asthma to cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These diseases may stem from a collapse of the protective brushes.

"We found that there is a specific condition, below which the brush is healthy and cells are happy," Rubinstein said. "But above this ideal condition, in diseases like CF or COPD, the brush becomes compressed and actually prevents the normal cilia beating and healthy flow of mucus."

In such conditions, the mucus would then stick directly to the lung's cells.

"The collapse of this brush is what can lead to immobile mucus and result in infection, inflammation and eventually the destruction of lung tissue and the loss of lung function," Rubinstein said. "But our new model should guide researchers to develop novel therapies to treat lung diseases and provide them with biomarkers to track the effectiveness of those therapies."

The lungs has a negative pressure. When air enters that space, it fills in the lung cavity making the lungs unable to expand and collapse.

it goes to ur nasal cavity then go to your larnx to the trachea to the bronchi and air sacs to the lungs :)

It allows the lungs to inflate and deflate without the "walls" sticking to each other, acting as a lubricant.

The kidneys do not effect your lungs even if they don't work. However, you'll die shortly after your kidneys fail.

No. A lung needle biopsy is used to pull a sample of tissue from the lungs for testing. A lung needle biopsy should NOT be done with someone who has Emphysema.

1. There are some preventative measures you can take to help with some breathing problems. If you have asthma, wear a medical alert band to let people know you have it in case you have an attack. Do not smoke, and stay away from second hand smoke. Keep your weight under control, because maintaining a healthy weight can help you breathe better.
2. Treatments
3. The type of treatment will depend on your particular breathing problems. Sometimes inhalers or breathing medications will be prescribed for you to help you breathe better.

You are definitely lucky to be alive. You should visit a doctor immediately to be sure all is well with you.

The lung is enclosed by a thin memrane called pleura

When you inahle, air rushes into your lungs because that is the only pathway air is allowed to travel. The body is designed to be air tight and water tight where it needs to be so that no foriegn material can do damage to the rest of the body.
