2. Lung - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung

   The lungs are not capable of expanding to breathe on their own, and will only do so when there is an increase in the volume of the thoracic cavity. [71] This is achieved by the muscles of respiration, through the contraction of the diaphragm, and the intercostal muscles which pull the rib cage upwards as shown in the diagram. [72]

3. Lung-on-a-chip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung-on-a-chip

   Schematic drawing of a lung-on-a-chip. The membrane in the middle can be stretched by vacuum in the two side chambers. The lung-on-a-chip is an organ-on-a-chip device modelling a living, breathing human lung on a microchip. The lung-on-a-chip places two layers of living tissues—the lining of the lung's air sacs and the blood vessels that ...

5. Organ-on-a-chip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ-on-a-chip

   Because a microfluidic lung-on-a-chip can more exactly reproduce the mechanical properties of a living human lung, its physiological responses will be quicker and more accurate than a Transwell culture system. Nevertheless, published studies admit that responses of a lung-on-a-chip do not yet fully reproduce the responses of native alveolar ...

   Mainly found in the lung, the pulmonary alveoli are spherical outcroppings of the respiratory bronchioles and are the primary sites of gas exchange with the blood.

7. Respiratory tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_tract

   The lungs are the largest organs in the lower respiratory tract. The lungs are suspended within the pleural cavity of the thorax. The pleurae are two thin membranes, one cell layer thick, which surround the lungs. The inner (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and the outer (parietal pleura) lines the inner surface of the chest wall. This ...

   3D rendering of a high resolution computed tomography of the thorax. The anterior thoracic wall, the airways and the pulmonary vessels anterior to the root of the lung have been digitally removed in order to visualize the different levels of the pulmonary circulation. Image showing main pulmonary artery coursing ventrally to the aortic root and ...
