LUNGS
The lung is a magnificent organ
that performs a multitude of vital
functions every second of our
lives.
The two lungs are located in the
chest on either side of the heart.
Their principal function is to transport oxygen from the
atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to release carbon dioxide
from the bloodstream into the atmosphere. This exchange of
gases is accomplished in the mosaic of specialized cells that form
millions of tiny, exceptionally thin-walled air sacs called alveoli.
THE LUNGS
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Respiration is the process by which living organisms take
in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
The human respiratory system,
working in conjunction with the
circulatory system, supplies oxygen
to the body's cells, removing carbon
dioxide in the process. The exchange
of these gases occurs across cell
membranes both in the lungs
(external respiration) and in the
body tissues (internal respiration).
GAS EXCHANGE
In humans, the trachea divides into the two main bronchi that
enter the roots of the lungs. The bronchi continue to divide
within the lung, and after multiple divisions, give rise to
bronchioles.
The bronchial tree continues
branching until it reaches
the level of terminal
bronchioles, which lead to
alveolar sacs.
GAS EXCHANGE
Alveolar sacs are made up of clusters of
alveoli, like individual grapes within a
bunch. The individual alveoli are tightly
wrapped in blood vessels and it is here
that gas exchange actually occurs.
The oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart
via the pulmonary veins to be pumped back
into systemic circulation.
Deoxygenated blood from the heart is
pumped through the pulmonary artery to
the lungs, where oxygen diffuses into
blood and is exchanged for carbon
dioxide in the hemoglobin of the
erythrocytes.
GROSS ANATOMY OF LUNGS
Lungs are a pair of respiratory organs situated in
athoracic cavity. Ritht and left lung are separated
by the mediastinum.
TEXTURE: Spongy

left lung 550 gms
FISSURES AND LOBES OF LUNGS
The term lung disease refers to
many disorders affecting the lungs
asthma
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease
influenza
pneumonia
tuberculosis
cancer
respiratory failure.
ASTHMA
SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA
Wheezing
Coughing, especially
early in the morning or at
night
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath



Asthma is a chronic
disease that affects
your airways
Asthma is treated with two
kinds of medicines:

Quick-relief medicines to
stop asthma symptoms.

Long-term control medicines
to prevent symptoms
CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE
PULMONARY DISEASE
SYMPTOMS OF COPD
EXCESSIVE COUGHING


Chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease makes breathing
difficult. Coughing up mucus.
Chronic bronchitis and
emphysema are common
COPD.
Quit smoking.

Antibiotic.

Clean environments.

Inflammatory- anti.
FLU
SYMPTOMS OF THE FLU
Body or muscle aches
Chills
Cough
Fever
Headache
Sore throat

Flu is a respiratory infection caused by a number of viruses. The
viruses pass through the air and enter your body through your
nose or mouth
Avoid contact with other
people
Vaccine
Antibiotic
AntiInflammatory
Anti flu




TUBERCULOSIS
SYMPTOMS OF TB
A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or
longer
Weight loss
Loss of appetite
Coughing up blood or mucus
Weakness or fatigue
Fever
Night sweats

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria
called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria
usually attack the lungs, but they can also
damage other parts of the body.
You can usually treat
active TB by taking
several medicines for
a long period of time.
LUNG CANCER
SYMPTOMS OF LUNG CANCER

A cough that doesn't go
away and gets worse over
time
Constant chest pain
Coughing up blood
Shortness of breath,
wheezing, or hoarseness
Repeated problems with
pneumonia or bronchitis
Swelling of the nek and
face
Loss of appetite or weight
loss
Fatigue
the risk of developing lung cancer. Exposure to high levels
of pollution, radiation and asbestos exposure may also
increase risk.
Treatment also
depends on the stage,
or how advanced it is.
Treatment may include
chemotherapy,
radiation and surgery.
