the respiratory bronchioles are considered the first structure in the lung where gas exchange can occur. Before the respiratory bronchioles, the structures only do two 'C's: conductance and conditioning (trapping particles and warming) of the inhaled air. From the nasal cavity through the terminal...

The lungs function as a pair of bellows, pulling in fresh air into the body when they expand, and expelling the impure air when they compress. However, there are no muscles in the lungs to control this expansion and compression. The diaphragm, the muscle lying below the lungs, helps in p...
The structure of the trachea and bronchi are tubes made of cartilage. The trachea is larger and is a central tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi. The bronchi are smaller, but are also made of cartilage and extend into each lung. What is the function of bronchi? The function of...

Synchronous imaging at high temporal resolution of a three-dimensional volume--for example, the heart--eliminates the need for successive periods of breath-holding and gated imaging techniques and is essential for quantitation of cardiovascular and pulmonary function and structure in intact animals or ...
Conventional radiographic imaging techniques are not adequate for determination of the true, dynamic changes in shape and dimensions of the intact working heart, lungs and circulation which are required for accurate quantitative determination of the structure and function of these organ systems. This pape...
One of the main challenges of experimental respiratory medicine today is the development of therapies that could support lung regeneration, leading to restoration of lung structure and function, in chronic lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Current therapies such as pirfenidone ...
Based on their structure and function, they may exhibit diverse biological activities during infection [2]. In view of their continuous exposure to the external environment, the lungs represent a particularly vulnerable organ for infection with bacteria and their exo- and endotoxins. The lung is ...
