The cartilage is a very stiff and flexible tissue‚ which doesn’t contain air vessels. It is found in trachea‚ bronchus‚ bronchiole and alveolus‚ and it has a structural role. It support‚ and gives strength to trachea and bronchi. It holds the airways open for the resistance with little airway. This prevents it from collapse

Lung Cancer Lung cancer is a disease characterize by uncontrolled cells that are growing in tissues of the lung. A person gets infected by smoking too much also people who are non-smokers get lung cancer. Scientist are not sure why they get lung cancer even if they never ever smoked. If its untreated‚ the growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and‚ eventually‚ into other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in the lung‚ known as primary cancers

& Lungs The heart and lungs are two separate organs‚ but are “intimately connected” for the proper function of a healthy body. With the function and purpose of both organs‚ one cannot work without the other. The lungs inhale oxygen‚ and then exhale the carbon dioxide and other wastes out of the body. With the heart‚ it pumps blood through the lungs to pick up the oxygen and deposit the waste from traveling through the body. First we start off describing the functions of the lungs and its

(Roth‚ Hong‚ Komaki‚ 2014‚ 176). It has three main types: non-small cell‚ small cell and lung carcinoid. The group of physicians and radiologic technologists are playing an important role to help diagnose this disease. Many different sectors within the field of diagnostic imaging technologies have done research into an

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

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated‚ this growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and‚ eventually‚ into other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in lung‚ known as primary lung cancers‚ are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells. The main types of lung cancer are small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC)‚ also called oat cell cancer‚ and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The
