There are many substances in cigarette smoke, but the most popular ones are Butane and Methane. These chemicals are released in cigarette smoke and can cause many health issues.

What is respiratory disorder?

Any kind of disorder that has to do with breathing.Respiratory disorders are Asthma,COPD etc.

Coughing up green phlem?

i agree 100% with this comment i have done some research and some test im not a doctor or a scientist but i have discovered that pot smoke does not stay in your lungs like cigg smoke would cuz weed dosent not have any of that man made crap in it for the most part weed is all natural unless someone puts stuff in that that should be there and weed does not have tar in it the resin is like that but i belive that weed some does not stick to your mucus cells or mucus membrans in your lungs the way cig smoke does that's why you cough it out

the black flem is normal for chronic smoker mainly, marijuana. its actually a good thing unlike cigarettes the black flem is coughed out of the lungs instead of kept inside where they do the most damage.

What is the medical term meaning a condition in which the Lungs fail to expand?

Atelectasis is incomplete expansion of the lung of a newborn or a collapsed lung. This happens when the alveoli within the lung become deflated. It's a very common respiratory complication after surgeries, as well as other problems such as cystic fibrosis, lung tumors, fluid in the lung, severe asthma, chest injuries, etc.

Discuss the process of respiration?

Respiration involves the processes of inhalation and exhalation. It is used to control breathing through the exchanges of gases and distribution of oxygen.

Are babies born with lungs?

Unfortunately yes. It can result from incomplete development of the lungs (as in premature births) or from perforation during birth. It can be a life-threatening condition but in many cases is treatable.

What gas is essential for human life?

Technically speakings Humans do not make gas. Humans are the host for symbiotic bacteria which inhabit the gut and stomach, and are vital to the breakdown and absorbtion of nutrients. If you feed this bacteria with food, their digestive process can cause what we call gas or wind. This gas is actually a combination of various gases, like swallowed air and methane from the digestive process. Methane is a particularly combustive gas which can make human wind flammable, even explosive in some extreme cases. Though I don't recommend you test this.

So here's a secret, the bacteria is particularly fond of anything with a high content of sulphur in it. Brocolli, eggs, cabbage, are its favourites. So if you want to avoid turing the air blue so to speak, avoid those types of food.

Which organ is NOT a part of the respiratory system?

Appendix...

its a small tube near the place where the large intestine and the small intestine join. It has no use to the digestion system but when you have an inflammation of the appendix, you can suffer from a disease called, Appendicitis.

Answer:

There are many organs that are not part of the digestive system. The heart, lungs, brain, eyes, etc.

What factors influence the breathing rate during exercise?

Respiratory rate is influenced by almost everything, anatomically and environmentally. Anatomical causes of respiratory rate changes are ailments such as copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) asthma, airway obstructions, diabetic coma or shock, congestive heart failure (back up of fluids through the venus supply), croup, anaphylaxsis, etc. Environmental causes include airway anomallies, drug overdoses, inhaled poisons,smoking etc.

What are some impotrant parts of the respiratory system?

This is normal for all mammals: Nares. Which are nasal openings. A tract in which air reaches lungs. Lungs themselves, and cappularies inside the lung linning to absorb the oxygen into the blood

What happens to your alveoli when you smoke?

Smoking affects the alveoli in the lungs because when the red blood cells absorb oxygen into the alveoli when the smoke is mixing with the clean oxygen it becomes unhealthy for your lungs and dangerous.

Why do we need to take care of our respiratory system?

If your respiratory system isn't working right then oxygen that would normally go to the lungs and make gas exchange happen in the alveoli, getting oxygen in to the blood and going to your heart and working muscles. So if you don't get enough oxygen coming through the respiratory system then your heart wont get enough oxygenated blood around the body through the circulatory system to the working muscles. So energy will not get to the muscles making them not as efficient as they should be.

What are the inputs and outputs of anaerobic respiration?

inputs consis of: glucose (C6H12O6)

outputs: 2ATP, Lactic acid / ethanol in yeasts

Which respiratory system does a dolphin use to breathe on land?

Fish breath little air particles in the water and kills separate the water from the air in the water but the air is not air that humans can breath its too thin

Which gas binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen?

Carbon monoxide. It has ten times higher binding efficiency to iron in the heme group than oxygen does

Product of cell respiration?

ATP. ATP is the molecule used by cells for energy. The byproducts are water and carbon dioxide.

Describe how breathing is controlled?

Autonomic nerves from the medulla oblongata to the diaphragm and chest muscles to produce the cycles of the cpntraction that bring air to the lungs

What jobs does the respiratory system perform?

Primarily the heart and lungs provide for the exchange of oxygen and cabon dioxide in the blood stream. They also help to regulate the acid-base level in the blood. and if you want another goto www.wiki.awnsers.com and type that in the URL when you get there type in the question
To supply oxygen for respiration to occur so our cells can make ATP (energy) and to take carbon dioxide out of the body.

How long does the respiratory system take?

breathing and heart rate increased. breathing and heart rate increased.

How do the ribs and diaphgragm help you breath?

your ibs help you breath because when your diaphram goes up your lungs need room to expand and the lungs help do that :)
