What percent should your lungs be?
100%
How do you use lungs in everyday life?
you breathe
What structures are the apex base and hilum regions of?
The lungs.
What is the total alveolar surface area in the lungs of human beings?
100m2
What is the most common injury from bordetella pertussis?
Damage to the lungs
What is linear density in the lungs?
Linear density in the lungs refers to linear silhouettes located in the lungs. These shadows show up vertically on the sides of the lungs and usually indicate lung damage, such as from smoking or aging.
What is ovoid opacities?
From what I've researched over the Net, an ovoid (oval-ish) opacity (an area where light can't pass through) is a mass. If you're referring to your lungs, then it's a mass in your lung.
Is fibrosis linear density contagious?
Linear density fibrosis is a scarring of the tissue in the lungs. Although it is a disease, it is not contagious.
Can you explain what is the meaning of streaky densities in the perihilar regions?
Streaky densities in the perihilar regions typically refer to abnormal findings on a chest X-ray where there are linear opacities or shadows seen around the hila of the lungs. This can be indicative of conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or interstitial lung disease. Further evaluation, such as a CT scan or clinical assessment, may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
What type of pneumonia is characterized by alveolar consolidation?
Bacterial pneumonia is often characterized by alveolar consolidation, where the alveoli in the lungs fill with pus and fluid. This can be seen on chest X-rays as patchy or lobar opacities. Treatment usually involves antibiotics.
What is prominent bronchovascular markings in lungs?
Bronchiovascular marking in the lungs are nothing but the normal making of the blood vessles of the lungs which are supplying to the bronchi and bronchiols these marking are increase in the case of any infection or inflammation.These are reconized by the prominent low density liner opacities in the lungs feild these are more prominent on the hilar region which is suggestive of an infection or inflammation. for more answers and help contact me on amjadkhan.mmkk@gmail.com thanking you
You have an irregular heartbeat and breathlessness?
So do I, but I have a diagnosed heart condition. It may be something (physically) simple as anxiety, but you need a cardio-vascular check and the lungs need a check too.
What is the shape of bacterial pneumonia?
Bacterial pneumonia typically presents as patchy or lobar consolidation on chest x-ray imaging. It can appear as round or oval-shaped opacities in the lungs, with ill-defined borders. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to target the bacterial infection.
What is discoidal?
Discoid atelectasis appears as a plate-like or disc-shaped shadow on the lungs which can be horizontal or linear. This indicates that a part of the lung has collapsed, preventing proper re-inflation and airflow in the area.

What is used as a model to demonstrate breathing mechanism?
A working model of a human lung or a bell jar model can be used to demonstrate the breathing mechanism. These models typically include a pump to mimic the diaphragm movement, balloons or rubber sheets to represent the lungs, and tubes to simulate the airways. By manipulating these components, one can illustrate how the process of inhalation and exhalation occurs in the human respiratory system.
Which organ is associated with the disease emphysema?
The lungs are the primary organ affected by emphysema.
