Parts of the model represent different parts of the respiratory system as shown here. The model, which is air tight, represents the thorax, and air is only able to enter via the glass tube which ...

When blood reaches the lungs, a larger volume of air is needed to replace the oxygen used and remove the carbon dioxide produced by this extra respiration. In order to supply more oxygen to the ...

The human organoids enabled better understanding of interactions of nanomaterials with the model tissue, but at the cellular level. Graphene oxide (GO), a flat, thin and flexible form of carbon ...

It analysed the impact of atmospheric nanoparticles on the human respiratory system, covering all seasons. "Using a computerised model for analysing the deposition, the study revealed that more ...
