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

injury to the lung which is a common result after a blunt chest trauma from incidents such as vehicular accidents and assaults or after penetrating chest trauma from explosions or shock waves (Ganie et al‚ 2013). 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

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.

altered vital capacity in people. Exercising for this amount was chosen to be studied because there have been many who have benefited from more exercise. The question to be answered was if this amount of exercise increased or decreased vital capacity. The hypothesis was vital capacity will increase in response to exercising for a minimum of thirty minutes a day for at least four days a week. This prediction was made because it was understood that exercise increased cardiovascular capacity. Materials

The first stage is congestion

During the physical examination‚ we were unable to elicit findings typical of pneumonia such as dullness on both the lower lung fields‚ crackles‚ and increased breath sounds. We attributed this to the medications that were already taking effect on the day prior to conducting the physical examination. Administration of antibiotics and expectorants relieves the pulmonary congestion by reducing the bacterial load and purging the mucus that clogs the bronchi. The resolution of the disease in the patient

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
