Why fetus blood does not reach the lungs for purification?

When in the womb the fetus' lungs are not working because they do not have access to air. This means that blood does not flow down the pulmonary artery and a hole in the heart shunts the blood directly from one chamber of the heart to the other. This hole closes and the lungs begin to work after birth when the baby takes its first breath.

While in the womb the baby's blood is oxygenated by the placenta which interfaces to the mother's blood supply.

PLEASE NOTE: the lungs DO NOT "purify" blood. The function of the lungs is gas exchange (oxygen in - carbon dioxide out). The kidneys are the organs which remove waste products from (purify) the blood.

Does an aircraft need a longer runway to takeoff on airports that are at higher altitudes than sea level?

Yes. Both to take off and to land. There are several major airports at high altitude (like Mexico City and Denver, CO) that are real problems for pilots.

Doctors don't believe that I swallowed a spider in 2004 and that it laid eggs on my lung and liver. In 2007 they're crawling in my body and only an herb call blackwalnut helps. What can I do?

Neither a spider nor any of a spider's eggs can survive a trip through your gastrointestinal tract. And certainly neither one can get out of the GI tract except by the entry orifice or the exit orifice - unless you have a severe laceration or perforation somewhere, which would put you in the hospital in days or even hours. It's that simple. And the doctors who don't believe you know these facts. There's more. If you were surgically incised and a spider put inside your abdominal cavity and the wound closed, the arachnid would suffocate in minutes and die. It must have air to survive, and there isn't any air inside the abdominal cavity unless some is sewn in, and it will be absorbed by the tissues in a short time. Think this through. The doctors who doubt you know that spiders without air die in a short time, and they didn't have to go to medical school to figure that out. A sharp high school biology student knows that even the spiders that live under water (and yes, there are some) have to carry an air bubble with them to breathe. Black walnut extract has been offered by herbalists as a remedy for parasites in the intestinal tracts of pets. If black walnut extract "quiets them down" when you take it, how exactly does the black walnut extract get to them? In animals where it is used, it works on the parasites that are actually in the gastrointestinal tract. There is no magic method of transport whereby the black walnut extract can get from the GI tract to another location in the body except through the normal uptake machinery of the intestines. There are "bugs" that can live in your body, but they're all microscopic, and they're either there to help you or to make you sick and kill you. If you are healthy, no problem. If you are really infected with something, you'll develop symptoms that a competent physician can diagnose. Spiders cannot live inside your body cavity. It is not possible. The thinking person who quiets his mind and reviews the facts can see the truth in this.

Does the 1990 Pontiac 6000 LE have airbags?

No they dont. Althou some of the sister cars (Buick Century, Olds Cutlass Ciera) did.

What is the disease or disorder that makes your jaw numb and eyes lazy?

Those symptoms could be explained by a number of diseases and syndromes. A facial palsy can result from anything from trauma or damage of the facial nerves, to stroke, Parkinson's, Bell's Palsy, MS, ALS and so-on. However, without more specific information, a thourough physical exam, and a detailed history and physical, it would be impossible for a clinician to accurately narrow a diagnosis down to one particular pathology based on just the two symptoms. Perhaps with more details an answer might be more readily available. Good Luck!

What serous membranes would a bullet pass through if it entered the left lung?

The visceral and anterior pleural membranes. If it scarped against the heart, then it may also pass through the visceral and anterior pericardial membrane.

Is removing and air bag dangerous like radioactive?

no but you won't be covered by your insurance company if you remove it and they find out!

Do planktons have lungs?

No, plankton are single celled organisms that only live underwater.

Lungs are only present in some multicellular organisms that breathe air, specifically vertebrates (many multicellular organisms that breathe air like insects do not have lungs).

Can the length of an Ethernet be increased to many segments of 500 meter each merely by adding a repeater to connect each additional segment?

Yes, 2.5km is the maximal operating range of ethernet, or basically 5 repeaters.

Repeaters known as repeaters are cheap but rare, but a switch will do the same

thing...since signal conditioning is part of their basic funtionality.

Beyond 2.5km, you will need a fiberoptic backbone.

If your looking into gigabit, you will need high quality cable and straight runs....but mostly repeaters have to be put in at 100m in a corporation to achieve a full gigabit thoughput, otherwise the switch will reneg down to 100..

What is a saclike structure called of lung?

Lung sacs are called, "Alvioli" (al-vee-OH-lee)

Where would you find cillia?

i think i learnt this whilst learning about the effects of smoking. if i remember rightly, you would find them on the inside of the lungs and the tar from smoking makes them all sticky and they cannot function properly. I think they clean out your lungs as you breathe in and out. I hope this is right and that it helps!! =]

Why does blood get pumped into the lungs?

It needs to get oxygen from the lungs, or drop off carbon dioxide to exhaled out of the body.

What system are the lungs in?

In the breathing system, which supports the circulation system by giving oxygen to the hemoblobin in the blood.

Why are sponge lungs better than hollow lungs?

Because they have a greater surface area over which gaseous exchange can take place.

Why are organs such as the lungs, heart, and stomach made up of many different kinds of specialized cells rather than only one kind?

Each tissue is very good at its own job. Organs and organ systems each are specialised also. So they need to be made, of the tissue, that specialises in the job, that organ has to do.
