Are proteins necessary to transport oxygen to body?
A protein (hemoglobin) is required to transport Oxygen around the body.
It is a condition in which a person has trouble breathing due to the effects of smoking, smog, sickness, or disease.
Why do lungs hurt after running in the cold?
When you breath through your nose the air becomes warm and moisturized. through your mouth it doesnt. so the air stays cold and dry, which irritates your airways.
What is the sound called that is produced by air rushing through the large respiratory passages?
The sounds made by air rushing through the large respiratory passages are referred to as bronchial sounds. They are best heard in the mid-back.
What two things happen to sugars when they pass into the blood stream?
There are table sugar, milk sugars(Galactose, Lactose, maltose), candy sugars (alcohol sugars), fruit sugar (fructose). Sugars are the bodies favorite food unit. Assuming you mean Sucrose, table sugar. When sugar is broken down in the stomach into its basic components fructose and glucose, these are transported across the intestinal membrabnes into the blood stream. Both fructose and glucose are transported across body cell membranes and react to form ATP energy in the Cyclic Acid Metabolic system. Glucose to the liver is stored as glycogen; when the liver stores are full, the excess is converted to fat and stored in adipose tissue(the belly, that double chin, or love handles, etc).
How did chemical motars affect soldiers that were exposed to the gas fumes?
As the soldier in the war fight they explode the gas in the air so that their enimes could die but sometime that happend vice-versa due to the wind direction .
the gas blew in their direction by which it effects their own soldier
(i am not sure about this answer but that's all i hav learned in my class few days back i hope this will help u a bit)
Spiders have one of two types of lungs. The first is called a book lung, where there are stacks of lamellae that absorb oxygen as it passes through them. The second uses openings in the chitin called spiracles that air passes through and gas exchange occurs.
Although produced by a number of cell types, CA 125 is primarily produced by ovarian cancer cells. Eighty percent of women with ovarian cancer have increased CA 125 levels.
Suffication
Nebulization using physiologic serum, N-acetylcisteyne 200 mg twice a day, honey ( one spoonful a day), watercress juice (one spoonful every two hours. These advices are for adults only.
I am going to do this entirely from memory so feel free to add and adjust but starting from the heart a drop of blood would be initially at the right atrium. It would proceed down the tricuspid valve or right atrioventricular valve (AV), into the right ventricle. from there it would travel up to the right semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries. These arteries are carrying deoxygenated blood btw. from here it goes into the lungs where the capillaries will exchange CO2 and O2. the newly oxygenated blood will proceed to the pulmonary veins (i believe there are four), and wind up at the left atrium of the heart. Here it is pushed through the bicuspid, left AV valve, or mitral valve. why they give it three names is beyond me. it then enters the left ventricle and is pumped through the left semilunar valve. this leads it to the aorta where it can go 1 of three ways (to my belief...all i can recall are three ways...unless you are a fetus then its totally different). blood will go to the acending or decending aorta. which branches a lot into the brachiocephalic and carotid, or into the inguinal or femoral if it goes down the decending aorta. blood also needs to go back to nourish the heart so it can go the third way which is back into the coronary arteries. here it will branch into many parts, i dont remember them really but it ends up going back to the right atrium. after the blood goes to the arteries the generalized way back is that it goes to the arterioles then to the capillaries (this is where waste and oxygen/nutrient exchange occurs to keep the cells in homeostasis) then to the venuoles and to the veins. the veins are pretty much called the same as the arteries with few exceptions (jugular vein/carotid artery). from here the blood will go to a superior vena cava if coming from the upper extremity or the inferior vena cava if coming from the lower extremity. This leads back to the right atrium where we started. GOOD LUCK WITH A&P. Please feel free to correct me.
Can exercise make your lungs tired?
Exercise will cause your body to demand more oxygen than your lungs can process at any given time. Your lungs don't get tired, they just try to catch up with the demand of your muscles and organs for oxygen.
Your lungs can not get fatigued; they are a passive part of the body that uses diffusion to get oxygen to your blood. Your diaphragm muscles are the things that make your lungs fill up with air and expel the air.
Basically, excercise makes your body tired, and your lungs need more air.
Is it possible for your mucous plug to look like a small circle of poop?
no. a mucus plug will have blood in it. Yes it can. Sometimes it is very little and sometimes it is a great big sticky mess A mucous plug does not always come out at once. A lot of times it comes out a little at a time over a period of time. It can have blood in it or look like mucous from your nose. The closer you are to going into labor the more likely it is to have blood in it.
