Is it true that all animals have lungs?
No, not all animals have lungs, fish and reptiles have gills, humans and mammals have lungs except whales and dolphin they have gills because they under water
What is the process that occurs in the lungs?
In the lungs, a gas pressure gradient is set up between the alveoli in the lungs and the blood capillaries. After inhaling, there is a higher oxygen pressure in the lungs and a lower oxygen pressure in the blood. As a result, oxygen diffuses into the blood. Hemoglobin in the blood at this point is carrying carbon dioxide. Due to the Haldane effect, when the blood begins to be oxygen rich again, hemoglobin releases the CO2 and picks up the oxygen. CO2 then diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli in the lungs and is exhaled while the blood carries the oxygen to its needed locations.
What attaches the lungs to the inner chest wall?
The answer is a vacuum. It is called the intrapleural space and is the negative pressure inside the thoracic cavity between the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura. When a person looses this pressure due to an injury and air comes into this space, they are said to have a collapsed lung.
How will an object blocking the bronchus affect airflow?
It will prevent air getting into the lungs, and asphyxiation leading to death (if the object is not cleared) will follow.
The bronchial tree is the "plumbing" of the lungs, tubes carrying air to and from the alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange actually take place. It looks like tree with many branches of overlie and it help pass the oxygen in and the carbon dioxide out.
What is moderate lung capacity?
Mmmmm . . . about 2500 cc's, I imagine. Mine is 4100 cc's and my old dad's is about 1200 cc's.
What are the Main functions of the lungs in a dogs body?
providing the body with oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide

I LOVE BOOBIES AND SUCK MY BALLS ..l..
Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?
----------------------------
The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
Would a frog's lung surface area be the same as a human's lung surface area?
In the real life sense no, but if you make our bodies the same size our lungs would be relatively the same size.
What is a Heart-lung bypass machine also called?
heart lung machine is very important because without a pumping system for the duration of the surgery the patient will die. Therefore a machine is needed to do the work of the heart, which is what the heart-lung machine does, it pumps blood and re oxygenates it at the same time.
Is smoking bad for your lungs and health?
Not really,
consider carbon dioxide it produced by you lungs, it does stay in your lungs for a short amount of time. Though, it's never good to inhale to much. After about 5 breaths you get light headed, but if you inhale a large amount continuosly for a long amount of time (days, maybe) it will kill you. It all depends on your lung capability.
The diameter of bronchioles can change because their walls contain?
Smooth Muscle tissue relaxation and contraction is responsible for dilation and constrictions of the bronchioles, respectively.
Are there any side effects of exercising in the rainy season?
You've just detailed the best season for work out! (I'm assuming winter, obviously more tendency to rain during this particular season.. at least in CA, where I'm from...) Anyways, to the point! There's going to be absolutely no side effects if you're working in a controlled environment.. that is, indoors. In fact, if there were to be any side kicks they most likely would be beneficial- you'll be more compelled to hit the gym because it's cold and cool outside- would you be more inclined to hit the gym during the humid slathering of summer heat or coolness of a calm winter? I'll take the winter season anyday. As far as practicing in the rain, it's most definitely doable- when running, make sure you're firmly grounded on an all weather track. Not only with this ensure the quality of your workout, it'll cement the safety of your body. Regardless of meterology, the weather should never be an indicator of whether to work out or not. Work out because it's good for you- if you're resorting to letting nature depict your work out status, you aren't fully committed by any means... and maybe, don't have that great of ambitions to exercise in the first place, so make sure you review WHY you are doing what you are and what it is going to accomplish for you. Good luck, smile.
