Can you eat cows lungs?

Well in many countries cow lungs is eaten as a delicacy special in Thailand, Scotland and other Asian countries. Strangely US bans eating of cow lungs. Organ meats come under Offal and apparently only restricted internal organ of animal is allowed to be eaten in US. My friends have tasted in Thailand and it seems to taste really good.


How does a cow breathe?

The physiology of a cow's respiration system is exactly the same as a human's or any other mammal. Oxygen is taken into the lungs via expansion of the lungs by the downward force exerted by the diaphragm, oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide at the capillary level in the alveoli of the lungs, and carbon dioxide is released outside by exhaling, when the diaphragm exerts and upward force and the lungs contract. This process repeats throughout the cow's life, and is an involuntary movement that keeps her alive.


What would happen if a cow could not belch?

This is exactly what happens when cows get what is called "bloat." A cow that cannot release gases built up in the rumen will die because of the intensifying pressure the rumen puts on the lungs, strangling the cow to death. So to answer your question, the cow would die.


What is inside a cow?

All the stuff you can't see outside. Seriously, all a cow's organs (heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, etc.) plus bones, muscles, nervous system, endocrine system, and the veins and arteries that pump blood from and to different parts of the cow's body are all contained inside a cow. Yes, a cow is a living breathing thing just like you, not some sort of man-machine.

No. Lung worms in cattle are in the lungs, which are a delicate tissue. There aren't many treatments for them, and treating the worms is likely to kill the cow anyway from a severe immune reaction to the dead worms in the lungs.
