What are the function of the lungs?
The lungs take in oxygen, which the body's cells need to live and carry out their normal functions. The lungs also get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of the cells.

Can you catch lung cancer from a friend?
NO, lung cancer is a noninfectious disease.

What is pneumonia?
Pneumonia is a common lung infection caused by bacteria, a virus or fungi
100
What is the main pathogen that leads to pneumonia?
Bacteria/Viruses

What does air first pass through?
Trachea
200
What is the function of the bronchi?
Bronchus / Bronchi / Bronchioles The airways of the lungs. When a person takes in a breath of air, the air travels through the nose or mouth, into the larynx, then into the trachea, which is the main passageway into the lungs
200
What is lung cancer?
Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. These cells do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells and do not develop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow, the cells can form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lung, which provides oxygen to the body via the blood.

How does pneumonia affect your body?
Most of the time, the body filters germs out of the air that we breathe. This keeps the lungs from becoming infected. But germs sometimes find a way to enter the lungs and cause infections.
200
What is the definition of pathogen?
a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease
200
Where do you breathe from?
Diaphragm

What is the function of the diaphragm?
The diaphragm functions in breathing.

What are some symptoms of lung cancer?
Coughing, especially if it persists or becomes intense Pain in the chest, shoulder, or back unrelated to pain from coughing A change in color or volume of sputum Shortness of breath Changes in the voice or being hoarse Harsh sounds with each breath (stridor) Recurrent lung problems, such as bronchitis or pneumonia Coughing up phlegm or mucus, especially if it is tinged with blood Coughing up blood
300
When is pneumonia most likely to happen?
Pneumonia is more likely to occur when: Your immune system is weak. A germ is very strong. Your body fails to filter germs out of the air that you breathe.

What are some common pathogens of pneumonia?
Bacteria's and viruses

What are lungs?
The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax).
400
What is the function of the trachea?
The main function of the trachea is to allow inhaled air to travel into and out of the lungs to and from the atmosphere.
400
Can lung cancer affect the rest of your body?
Yes

What types of pneumonia are there?
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) Atypical pneumonia Mycoplasma pneumonia

Can children catch pneumonia?
Yes, no matter how old or young you can catch pneumonia.

What are the major air passages of the lungs that diverge from the windpipe
Bronchi (Bronchus)

Name the functions of the diaphragm, lungs, trachea, and bronchi.
The diaphragm functions in breathing. The lungs take in oxygen, which the body's cells need to live and carry out their normal functions. The lungs also get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product of the cells. The main function of the trachea is to allow inhaled air to travel into and out of the lungs to and from the atmosphere Bronchus / Bronchi / Bronchioles The airways of the lungs. When a person takes in a breath of air, the air travels through the nose or mouth, into the larynx, then into the trachea, which is the main passageway into the lungs

What types of lung cancer are there?
Non-small cell Small cell

What are your recovery chances?
If you develop pneumonia, your chances of a fast recovery are greatest if: you are young your pneumonia is caught early your immune system—your body's defense against disease—are working well the infection hasn't spread you are not suffering from other illnesses
500
How can you prevent pneumonia?
There are vaccines for certain bacterias that lead to pneumonia.

Where is the nasal passages located on your body?
Your head
