TITLE ! Investigation to determine whether or not relationships exist between gender or height with lung capacity of Year 9 students ! ! ! INTRODUCTION The capacity of our lungs is the volume of air our lungs can hold. Our lungs have a greater capacity than we use when we take a normal breath. Scientists use various terms to describe the different components of lung capacity. Tidal Volume is the amount of air breathed out in a single normal breath (inhalation and exhalation).

downward and this lead to increases the space in your chest cavity which causes your lungs to expand. The intercostal muscles that are found between your ribs helps with enlarge the chest cavity as they contract which pulls your rib cage both upward and outward as you inhale. The expandation of your lungs causes the air to be breathed in through your nose or mouth. The air goes down your windpipe and into lungs. Through your bronchial tubes it helps the air to reach and enter the alveoli or air

take our journey through the wonderful body of Lillian Jones. We have been scheduled to tour the lower lobe of her right lung. She has been feeling very ill and her doctor has informed her there is a bacterium invading her lung! We will be starting off in the right femoral vein and traveling up the body through the right pulmonary artery into the lower lobe of her right lung. Alright folks lets get started with our tour by getting a better understanding of our starting point! We are located

THE LUNGS The left and right lungs (Figure 23-7a‚ b) are situated in the left and right pleural cavities. Each lung is a blunt cone‚ with the tip‚ or apex‚ pointing superiorly. The apex on each side extends into the base of the neck superior to the first rib. The broad concave inferior portion‚ or base‚ of each lung rests on the superior surface of the diaphragm. Lobes and Surfaces of the Lungs The lungs have distinct lobes separated by deep fissures (Figures 23-7a‚b). The right lung has

Voyage to the Lungs Trevor Frederick HS 130 Unit #4 – Assignment Kaplan University February 26‚ 2013 Welcome aboard! So glad you are all able to witness this extraordinary endeavor into the amazing human body. What you are about to witness is a feat seldom seen by the average individual. Frantic reports coming in are alarming; a foreign bacterium has invaded the right lung of our subject and is currently causing some severe damage. Shrunken to a mere eight microns in length‚ our state-of-the-art

that introduces respiratory gases to the inside of the body and performs a gas exchange (o2 → CO2) through externaal respiration for bodily fuctions to operate. In humans and mammals‚ the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways‚ lungs and plenty of muscle‚ nose‚ pharyngeal regions‚ larynx‚ and trachea.

it is also different which each type. In the respiratory department‚ a major type of cancer we will deal with is lung cancer. Lung cancer‚ however‚ has different types and stages‚ but for this paper we are going to talk about Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the article titled “Stage IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer” it was stated that‚ “Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a single cancer mass that is not invading any adjacent organs‚ but has spread to nearby lymph nodes

School Lung Cancer Lung cancer is “the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs”. These abnormal cells do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells and do not develop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow‚ “the abnormal cells can form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lung‚ which provides oxygen to the body via the blood”. There are two major types of lung cancer‚ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Staging lung cancer is

Lung Adenocarcinoma – Overview Lung adenocarcinomas usually begin in tissues that lie near the outer parts of the lungs‚ and may be present for a long time before they cause symptoms and are diagnosed. Adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer found in women‚ and is often found in non-smokers. It is also the most common type of lung cancer in people under the age of 45 and the most common type of lung cancer among all Asians. One subtype of lung adenocarcinoma‚ bronchioloalveolar carcinoma
