Topic: Aveoli


  
  Children's Heart Institute | How the Heart Works: How Blue Blood Becomes Red
The aveoli contain high oxygen content and low carbon dioxide content.
At the surface of contact with the aveoli, the blue blood releases its carbon dioxide to the air sac and gets oxygen from it and becomes red.
The process of air oxygenation starts with inspiring (inhaling) fresh air which has a high concentration of oxygen and a low concentration of carbon dioxide.

 asbestos inspection & mold inspection Houston, TX. FREE QUOTES over the phone
The asbestos fibers lodge themselves into the lungs aveoli causing the body's defense systems to go into action.
The first thing the body tries to do is break down the fibers and wash them out of the lungs but since the asbestos fibers resist most chemicals, even strong acids, the body is forced coat the fibers which becomes a plaque.
The plaque is like scar tissue in the aveoli and since the aveoli is where the oxygen we breathe is transferred to the blood, as the scar tissue grows, less and less oxygen reaches our blood stream and eventually the person will suffocate to death.

  Example: "The Hotdog Effect"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The pressure inside bubble 2 (with respect to some common exterior pressure) is greater than in bubble 1, so air will flow from bubble 2 to bubble 1 until the second bubble disappears entirely.
Aveoli, the small air sacs in lungs, act as connected bubbles of radius 0.1-0.5mm in a liquid.
If the aveolar surface were simply an air-water interface, the change in Laplace pressure would cause small aveoli to coarsen, leading to lung collapse.

 Breast-feeding & nursing: the let-down reflex
This hormone then travles through the mother’s bloodstram to the breast which causes the aveoli to contract.
This process squeezes the milk from the aveoli into the milk ducts and makes the milk available for your infant.
Once the process of let-down has begun, it will continue so long as the nipples are suckled which causes the mother’s body to continue to produce milk.

 The Physiology Behind it All
This is because more oxygen is present in the aveoli than can be taken up and carried to the muscles by the Hemoglobin.
The amount of air that can be taken in does respond to change, but most agree that any exercise that increases breathing will bring the athlete to max rate in the amount of air that can be taken in shortly.
Increasing the amount of Hemoglobin would increase the amount of oxygen that could be taken from the aveoli and carried to the muscles.

When their is a blockage in these arteries, it would result in the most common form of heart attack called a "coronary".
If one could lay these aveoli side by side, there would be enough to cover an entire tennis court!!
The membrane lets the carbon dioxide through (exhaling) and lets oxygen through (inhaling), then proceeds back to the heart where it is then pumped back out into the body to the muscles and organs that continue to need oxygen to produce energy.

 Uses and Effects of Phosgene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
If it exposed to human it could potentially cause death by pulmonary oedema.
The most common theory to how phosgene does this is that hydrochloric acid is produced in the air-containing cells of the lungs (aveoli).
The hydrochloric acid is produced when the phosgene gas is dissolved in water and hydrolysis occurs.

 Respiratory Disorders
Breathing exercises are taught to assist the individual in making the most of their remaining lung capacity.
Once the aveoli lose their elasticity, the damage is permanent.
Counseling may be necessary to help the individual adjust to reduced physical capacity and to accept that these conditions, especially emphysema, will not improve.

 Diffusion - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
In each case, there is only a noticeable diffusion if there is a gradient: for example in thermal diffusion, if the temperature is constant, heat will move as quickly in one direction as in the other, producing no change.
In mammalian lungs, a process of diffusion takes place in the aveoli: due to differences in partial pressures across the alveolar-capillary membrane, oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
The passive transport of ions or molecules by a specific carrier protein in a membrane.

ADAM Respiration CD This lab was to look and review the ADAM CDs on the resiratory system.
The basic function of the respiratory system is the exchange of O2 from the air into our aveoli, and to expire the CO2 in our lungs into the atmosphere.
The system that controls this is found in the pons and medulla.

 How Lung Cancer is Diagnosed
Often lung cancers are picked up on a routine chest X-ray in a person experiencing no symptoms.
If cancer cells start to grow in one of the bronchioles (the smallest branches of the breathing tree) near the aveoli (tiny air sacs), the tumor can become the size of a golf ball or even larger without causing symptoms.
Even when the chest X-ray looks normal, cancer may be suspected if the person has coughed up blood, develops persistent hoarseness, has chest pain or difficulty in breathing, or has had repeated episodes of pneumonia in the same place in the lung.
