A demonstration of breath filling human lungs. The demonstration is performed with the deeply appreciated gift of a human body from a donor program, with no fixatives added. Integral anatomy is an approach to learning anatomy by studying whole textural layers, and noticing our relationships with them. Inspiration is a key to wholesome healthy living. Enjoy the pleasure of breathing: every inhalation is a gift! To learn more, visit www.gilhedley.com Thank you for viewing this clip! (in answer to the question, "How is this done?" An instrument has been introduced into the airway of the form through which air is being delivered to inflate the lungs at the pace of human breath. The rib-basket has been reflected and removed to enable viewing of the process of the lungs filling with air. Breath while you watch, it is an expansive experience.

LUNGS (1973) by Townes Van Zandt live at the Old Quarter
May 14, 2012
Townes Van Zandt is a singer songwriter, who did not have the success he deserved in his lifetime, but who now is recognised as being one of the best. He is perhaps best known for his song 'Pancho and Lefty'. That and 'Waiting Around To Die' are probably my favourites and are featured to good effect in the film 'Heartworn Highways'. This song, 'Lungs', is up there with them. It was recorded live at the Old Quarter, Houston, just Townes and his guitar. Anyone wanting to buy their first Townes CD, I would recommend that one. Check out Townes Van Zandt Central for CDs and merchandise, as it benefits Townes' family. The following is summarised from Wikipedia: While alive, Van Zandt was labeled as a cult musician: though he had a small and devoted fanbase, he never had a successful album or single, and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print. In 1983, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard covered his song "Pancho and Lefty", scoring a number one hit on the Billboard country music charts. Despite achievements like these, the bulk of his life was spent touring various dive bars, often living in cheap motel rooms, backwoods cabins and on friends' couches. Van Zandt was notorious for his drug addictions, alcoholism, and his tendency to tell tall tales. He suffered from manic depression, and attempts to treat it with insulin shock therapy erased much of his long-term memory. He died on New Years Day 1997 from health problems stemming from years of substance abuse. The 2000s ...

How the Body Works : Microanatomy of the Lungs
May 19, 2012
Microanatomy of the Lungs Presented here is the microanatomy of the lungs and its components. Alveolar sacs are the terminal portions of the breathing tube system. Composed of up to thirty tiny air pouches, or alveoli, they provide a lung a total surface area of about 850 square feet for the exchange of gases. Alveolar walls, composed of a single layer of cells, and the thin boundaries of capillaries---a barrier only one twenty-five thousandth of an inch thick---are all that separate blood and air. Exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen across this barrier is completed in only a fraction of a second. Terminal bronchioles carry air to and from alveolar sacs. Cells lining bronchiole walls bear cilia---minute hairs whose beating action prevents large dust particles from entering the alveolar sacs. Macrophages on the inner alveolar surface ingest and destroy dust, soot and other foreign particles. These cells are the body's main line of defense against airborne bacteria drawn into the lungs. Connective tissue fibers form a frame around the alveoli and support their delicate walls. Lymph vessels carry excess tissue fluid away from alveoli. Pulmonary venules take oxygen-rich blood back to the heart. Pulmonary arterioles conduct carbon dioxide rich, oxygen depleted blood to the aveoli. Blood capillaries form a meshwork around the aveoli. As blood flows through the capillaries its loses carbon dioxide and takes up oxygen. and changes from dark to bright red in color.

Lung Disease: Pulmonary Fibrosis

View more videos at: www.healthsciencechannel.com HSC 245 - Learn about pulmonary fibrosis, a set of diseases that cause progressive scarring inside the lungs. Over time the lungs are slowly replaced with scar tissue, which causes airways to restrict airflow, making it difficult to breath and to get enough oxygen. Doctors, patients and researchers are hoping clinical trials will lead to a drug that prevents lung function from worsening ultimately allowing patients to live longer.

Dr. Donald Tashkin Marijuana Lung Cancer Study Pt 1 of 2

Pulmonary specialist and Federal Government researcher from UCLA Geffen School of Medicine finds that marijuana does not cause lung cancer in his study on the effects of cannabis and the lungs. Results of this study are discussed for the first time. If you agree that cannabis should be legal, write a letter to your congressperson and tell them to legalize it! Cannabis was made illegal because the paper industry was split between the hemp and the wood pulp factions. The wood pulp people had more money and won, which caused a negative ripple effect in our society such as the loss of a valuable medicine. Since the prohibition of cannabis began the cancer rates have grown at an alarming rate. Cannabis is used for thousands of purposes and it's loss of use has caused great hardship to everyone. It is time for truth to prevail and prohibition to stop. Please watch and share part 2: www.youtube.com Thanks
