What happens to organelles with cancer?
Organelles that are in cancerous cells constantly divide without doing anything else. Normally, the cell's DNA would control the organelles into doing various activities, but the disruption of cell cycle causes the DNA to only send messages that tells the organelles to divide.
Why is anatomic and physiologic dead space the same in a normal lung?
anatomic dead space is the space from the nose to the terminal bronchiole. Also know as the conducting part, its main function is to warm, humidifie and filter air. no gaseous exchange takes place here.
physioligical dead space is when any of the alveoli donot take part in gaseous exchange (eg. collapse of alveoli due to absence of surfactan). this is more seen in diseased lung, hence in a normal healthy lung this entity can be neglected.

Name and explain the volume that make up vital capacity?
The vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that a person can expel from the lungs.
Could doxycycline100mg hyc cap treat stalph infection in the lungs?
Doxycycline hyclate/hydrochloride, 100 mg, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which has been used to treat strains of b-hemolytic streptococcus; it also can be used against some gram-positive strains of staphylococcus bacteria, as an effective treatment for serious and advanced lunginfections, as well as, other pulmonary infections, such as pneumonia, empyema and lung abscesses.
It comes in various forms and dosages, such as injectable (powder for injections come in 100 mg and 200 mg vials), capsules (delayed-release capsules are 75 mg and 100 mg) and tablets 100 mg and 200 mg. It also comes in generic forms(tetracycline antibiotic), clindamycin, linezolid, minocycline, rifampin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; these antibiotics are used in the treatment of staph.
Treatment and dosage of Doxycycline hyclate/hydrochloridedepends upon the type of lung/pulmonary infection. The usual adult dose of Doxycycline is 200 mg, the first dose moving to a lower dose as the treatment regime continues. This drug has been shown to improve lung function in patients whose symptoms are stable; this drug is very useful in the treatment of bacterial respiratory infections.
Does smoking weed give you lung disease?
It's quite probable. Together with oxygen you are inhaling smoke loaded with many cancerous substances. Any type of smoke entering your lungs can surely cause you serious diseases which can make you suffer very much.

The deliberate collapsing of a lung during thoracic operations to facilitate surgical procedure by absence of movement.
What is the primary mechanism that stops the lungs from collapsing at the end of exhalation?

Why are dark spots found behind your lungs?
Dark spots on x-rays mean there is some fluid there.
Fluid actually is radiopaque. Therefore, it blocks the x-rays from travelling through your lungs to the film and developing (darkening) that area. It is because of this that fluid, bones, and other structures actually appear white on an xray.
Dark spots can show up due to pockets of air (hyperinflation) or even a pneumothorax (popped/deflated lung.) It is also widely known in the medical field that xrays are drawn to spots of cancerous tissue. (This is why chemotherapy is so effective.) Due to this, it could also be a cancerous tumor behind your lungs directing many of the xrays to one location, developing the film more in that area and showing up as a darker spot.
