are commonly known as “ORGANS OF SPEECH”. For the articulation of most speech sounds lung air is used. The respirative system consisting of lungs‚ muscles of chest and wind pipe (trachea).since the air steam mechanism involves (inspiration) breathing in and breathing out (expiration).It is the expiratory lung-air that becomes the basis for the articulation of most of the speech sounds. The air stream involving in lung-air is called Pulmanic Air-stream. There are three

He underwent an open lung biopsy in an attempt to delineate etiology of his pulmonary situation‚ and this was recorded as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and alveolitis. This specimen was sent to the Forest General Pathology Department for further evaluation and they were able

blood cells to carry oxygen through the bloodstream‚ pushing air into normally unused portions of the lungs and producing citrate synthase‚ a special enzyme that helps the oxygen found in hemoglobin make its way into body tissue. High altitude also triggers an increase in our heartbeat‚ breathing and urination. The low humidity and low air pressure at high altitudes causes moisture from our skin and lungs to evaporate at a faster pace and our body’s increased exertion requires even more water to keep

been second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of death related to respiratory diseases. Pneumonia is an inflammation or infection of the lungs. The lungs’ air sacs fill with pus‚ mucus‚ and other liquid and can not function properly. Oxygen can not reach the blood. If there is not enough oxygen in the blood‚ body cells can not work right and might die. Lobar pneumonia affects a section of a lung. Bronchial pneumonia (or bronchopneumonia) affects patches in both lungs. Pneumonia is not

for you: Effects on the Lungs Numerous studies have shown marijuana smoke to contain carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. In fact‚ marijuana smoke contains 50-70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do‚ which further increase the lungs’ exposure to carcinogenic smoke. Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue‚ which could lead to

Alternate Nostril Breathing Versus Normal Breathing After conducting a mini “study” of whether alternate nostril breathing helps people with sleep issues as opposed to normal breathing at bed time‚ it was concluded that‚ yes‚ alternate nostril breathing at bed time does help to relax a person and put them in a more sound sleep than normal breathing. In the personal study conducted‚ three nights were done under normal breathing circumstances and three nights with the alternate nostril breathing

difference between asthma and COPD is a factor in effect treatment for the two diseases. Although‚ it is extremely difficult to distinguish asthma and COPD‚ there are some characteristic that establish a difference between the two. COPD consists of two lung diseases‚ chronic bronchitis and emphysema‚ which both impedes airflow. COPD occur in patients that are habitual smokers however‚ symptoms seldom become evident before the age of 40. Asthma is associated with swollen‚ inflamed airways that are sensitive

Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted on us on the earth due to the weight of air molecules. Humans are not overwhelmed with this because of Intrapulmonary pressure‚ the pressure within our lungs. Intrapulmonary pressure causes our lungs to stay slightly inflated even after we exhale. Intrapleural pressure is the pressure on our pleura. This is negative in all people‚ even if your healthy. If intrapleural pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure‚ this will

The parasite is commonly called "heartworm"; however‚ adults often reside in the pulmonary arterial system as well as the heart‚ and a major effect on the health of the animal is a manifestation of damage to the lung vessels and tissues. Occasionally‚ adult heartworms migrate to the right heart and even the great veins in heavy infections. Heartworm infection may result in serious disease for the host‚ with death typically as the result of congestive heart failure
