lungs

     

The lung is the essential respiration organ in air-breathing animals, incluing most tetrapods, a few fish and a few snails. The most primitive animals with a lung are the lungfish (vertebrate) and the pulmonate snails (invertebrate). In mammals and the more complex life forms, the two lungs are located in the chest on either side of the heart. Their principal function is to transport oxygen from the atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere. This exchange of gases is accomplished in the mosaic of specialized cells that form millions of tiny, exceptionally thin-walled air sacs called alveoli.

Trivia about lungs

  • You can breathe easy, your right one of these has 3 lobes, the left, 2
  • They have breathing room (5)
  • Carbon dioxide is swapped for oxygen in the alveoli of these organs
  • Unlike most veins, the pulmonary ones carry oxygenated blood from these organs to the heart
  • Principal organs of respiration of the animal seen here: [video clue: dolphin]
  • A spirometer measures the capacity of these organs
  • Your heart's right ventricle pumps blood only to this pair of organs
  • Frogs absorb oxygen through their skin, but also have these breathing organs, like us
  • The visceral pleura is a thin, tough membrane that covers this pair of organs
  • The left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body; the right side picks it up from these organs
  • When my newt developed this pair of organs, it was ready to start living on land & be called an eft
  • On many spiders, these respiratory organs have leaves like a book
  • Asthma attacks involve these organs' bronchioles & the bronchi leading to them
  • Phagocytes,Alveoli,Bronchioles
  • Atelectasis is a doctor's term for the collapse of this organ
  • You'll find millions of alveoli in these paired organs
  • For the average adult human, the capacity of these is about 3.5 liters
  • In salamanders named for a lack of these internal organs, a tiny pulmonary artery runs in the body wall
  • A spirometer is used to measure the air capacity of these
  • Alveoli are tiny sacs clustered like grapes in these organs
  • The system inside these organs is commonly called the "bronchial tree"
  • Each of these organs has a visceral pleura & a parietal pleura
  • Part of the body in which you'd find approximately 300 million alveoli
  • They are contained in the right & left pleural sacs
  • Silicosis
  • Knowing Greek is helpful in studying anatomy; for instance pnevmonas is this organ
  • These organs are long & narrow & extend through the manatee's entire body cavity to help with buoyancy
  • Each of these organs is lined with a membrane called a pleura; hence, pleurisy
  • Pleurisy
