Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air sacs that exchange gases. Air inhaled through the mouth and nose flows into the lungs through the branched ...

In this video, I show you how to make a simple working model of the human respiratory system using everyday items. This hands-on activity is a fun way to visualize how lungs and the diaphragm work ...

Scientists have created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip they designed includes tubes ...

To track the course of inhaled microplastics and their even smaller counterparts, nanoplastics, the study authors constructed a detailed computer model of the human respiratory system from the nose to ...

The miniature lung provides insights into specific lung function and pathology, allowing doctors to design precise therapies according to patients’ genetic makeup. A breathing lung on a microchip? A ...
