journey to check out the bacterium in the lower lobe of the right lung. I will be in my mini submarine Kim08. My assistants are going to shrink me down to a very small size that cannot be seen by the human eye and then inject me into the right femoral vein of Alex a female who is in good health. She seems to be having pain when she breaths in so were going to check it out and see what is going on in in the lower lobe of her right lung. I’m going to provide you with as much detailed information on what

Smoking affects breathing system‚ facts and diseases. The major health problems caused by smoking affect the nicotine delivery system: the airways‚ blood vessels and lungs in the human respiratory system. During normal breathing‚ air is ingested through the nose or mouth and travels through the bronchial tubes to the lungs. There‚ the oxygen collects in the alveoli‚ or air sacs‚ and diffuses into the bloodstream‚ to be pumped by the heart to the brain and body. Cigarette smoking upsets this balanced

corresponds with lungs via pleurae; parietal pleura adheres to the thoracic wall and superior diaphragm and visceral - clings to the lungs. Normally the pleurae can glide against each other but resist separation because of surface tension created by the lubricant - pleural fluid. Therefore when healthy thoracic cavity expands‚ the lungs are stretched out and opened up and when healthy thoracic cavity decreases in size lungs spontaneously recoil. The opposite forces created by inward pull of lungs (naturally

Also‚ although it is more commonly associated with chest traumas such as pneumothorax‚ rib fractures or hemothorax‚ pulmonary contusion is also related to trauma to the abdomen and nervous system (Sutyak et al‚ 2007). After a blunt force trauma occurs‚ lacerations develop in the lung parenchyma

Edge of the medial border of scapula is at the midline of lung field in AP. * Inspiration: Count the visible ribs. Lung fields should extend to about the 10th or 11th rib. * Exposure: If the film is penetrated enough‚ you should be able to make out the spinous processes "inside" the vertebrae.

stains on fingernails‚ teeth‚ and lung tissue. Carbon monoxide This gas is deadly if consumed in large amount because it replaces oxygen in the red blood cell. Red blood cell contains haemoglobin that transports oxygen molecules from the lungs to other parts of the body. On the other hand‚ haemoglobin has higher affinity to carbon monoxide as compared to oxygen. This shows that less oxygen reaches the brain‚ muscles‚ heart and other organs Hydrogen cyanide The lungs have tiny hair that help in
