• are a pair of spongy, elastic
organs that carry out the major
breathing function of the body.
• They lie in the upper chest cavity,
from the collarbone down to the
diaphragm.
• The lungs are the lightest organs
in the body, where exchanges of
gases take place.
LUNGS
PARTS OF THE LUNGS AND THEIR
FUNCTIONS
RIBCAGE
• The lungs are important and
delicate organs that are
protected by a set of bones called
the ribcage.
• The ribcage forms the chest
cavity where the lungs are found.
Both the ribcage and the
diaphragm are important in the
breathing process.
CILIA
• The lungs contain cilia that
protect them from dust particles.
• At birth, the lungs are pink, but
when a person ages, they
become gray and mottled from
tiny particles breathed in with the
air.
PLEURA
• The lungs are divided into the
left and the right lobes and are
covered with a thin membrane
called pleura.
• The right lung is somewhat
larger than the left lung.
DIAPHRAGM
• The diaphragm is a large,
dome-shaped muscle that
stretches across the base of
the chest cavity and
separates the chest cavity
from the abdomen.
• It Is the chief muscle used
in breathing.
DIAPHRAGM
• The diaphragm moves downward
when you inhale.
• The chest cavity then becomes
larger. When the chest cavity
expands, the air pressure within it
drops.
• In contrast, the diaphragm relaxes
and curves upward when you
exhale or when air is moved out of
the lungs. The size of the chest
cavity is decreased.
• The air pressure inside the chest
ALVEOLI
• The tiny sacs found
in the lungs, to
transfer the oxygen
into the blood cells.
• The lung has about
300 million alveoli.
How the lungs work?
Asthma
Bronchitis
Pneumonia
Tuberculosis
Emphysema
Lung Cancer
Diseases that Affect the
Lungs
ASTHMA
Asthma
• This is a lung disease that is
chronic and long-lasting.
• It recurs regularly and
requires continuous
treatment.
• Asthma is characterized by
shortness of breath,
BRONCHITIS
Bronchitis
• This is an inflammation of the mucous
membrane of the bronchi caused by
bacteria, viruses, or irritants.
• Those who are at risk in contracting
bronchitis are the smokers and those
exposed to harmful substances in the
air.
• Bronchitis may develop during severe
cold and flu. Fluid gathers in the
bronchi, resulting in a thick mucus
Pneumonia
• This is an acute inflammation of the
lungs caused by bacterial infection.
• Pneumonia is a highly communicable
disease that mostly develops as a
complication of other respiratory infections
Such as flu.
• Fluid collects in the lungs making
breathing difficult.
Tuberculosis (TB)
• This is a common lung disease. Tubercle
bacilli are the germs that cause TB. These
germs get into the lungs and may also
affect other parts of the body such as
kidneys, bones, and brain.
• Tuberculosis can easily be transferred
either by direct contact or by airborne
viruses and bacteria.
Emphysema
• This is a serious lung disease characterized
by the destruction of the walls of the air sacs
and a serious shortness of breath.
• Emphysema is a chronic lung disease more
common in middle-aged or older people. It is
developed over many years.
• A person afflicted with emphysema experiences
difficulty in exhaling.
• The air sacs of the lungs are stretched thin and
gradually destroyed, causing the lung tissue to
lose its elasticity. The exchange of gases is
hampered.
LUNG CANCER
Lung Cancer
• This is a deadly disease in which cells grow wildly
and lumps are developed.
• Smoking is also the main cause of lung cancer.
The sticky tar containing carcinogens accumulates
in the air passages, making the cilia and the
mucous membrane paralyzed and unable to do
their normal functions.
• Preventions or treatments of lung cancer includes
regular check-up and taking in prescribed
medicines.
