The Structure Of A Lung Transplant And The Respiratory System

Introduction:

A lung transplant is great for when your lung has got lung disease. Lung Transplant impacts the respiratory system. Some of the organs that are used in the respiratory system would be the Lungs, Trachea, Bronchi and Diaphragm. These organs listed are located in the respiratory track in the human body. Why do we need the respiratory system? We need the respiratory system so that we can have the red blood cells collect oxygen from the lungs to be transferred around the body and to have carbon dioxide picked up from our cells so and sent to the lung so it can be removed. In simpler terms, we call it breathing. Lung transplant is the solution if you have lung disease and need help. The respiratory system is very important.

Structure of the Respiratory System:

The trachea filters the air we breathe. At the end of the Trachea it splits into two which is called Bronchus. Bronchus are two air tubes that branch off to the Trachea and carry air directly into the lungs. The lungs are the main organ in the respiratory system. In the lungs, oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is breathed out. The red blood cells collect oxygen from the lungs and deliver it to other cells in our body and they also pick up the waste from the other cells (Carbon Dioxide) and bring it back to the lungs to get exhaled. The diaphragm is not part of where the air travels, but it is used to air in and out of the lungs. The diaphragm is a muscle that moves, causing a change in air pressure. When you breathe out, the diaphragm moves upward, which decreases the volume of the lungs, causing high pressure. When you breathe in, the diaphragm moves downwards in it can increase the volume of the lungs which causes negating pressure. These organs are equally useful as they all play a role to keep your respiratory system working. You need to
