how much lungs do we have
Answers
- Humans have two lungs, a right lung and a left lung.
Answer:
Explanation:
we have two lungs in our body
In our lungs the range of blood is 310±21 milliliters per square meter to 375±97 milliliters per square meter,
Lungs are redundant. Though we are born with two, many persons have had one removed because, say of cancer. They make do with just one.
They are filled with alveoli, tiny, thin sacks surrounded with capillaries. Should you remove all the alveoli from a lung and spread them open, you could cover a big part of a basketball court.
In order to work, lungs need to operate in a vacuum - that is, there needs to be no air between the lung and the surrounding membranes. Introduction of air - usually because of a lesion - is called pneumothorax, and it is a life-threatening condition - although at one time, a partial pneumothorax was induced inn order to afford rest to a lung afflicted with TB.
