the lungs can be big if you are taller and if you are short, your lungs may be small

when you breathe in the air goes through the trachea (a.k.a. the windpipe,) then goes to the bronchi, after that it goes to the 30,000 bronchioles that we have, then it goes to the alveoli, then the capillaries, finally to the R.B.C.s

Thank you for successfully describing the inhaling process. Think about lung capacity, and respond again with the factors that either increase or decrease that.

When you inhale the air goes threw the mouth or nose then down the trachea (the trachea is also called the windpipe) then the bronchi (the bronchi are the 2 large tube attached to the trachea) then the bronchioles (you have 30,000 bronchioles in each lung but you have two lungs so you have 60,000 inside your hole body) then the alveoli (you have 600 million alveoli's in each lung so you have 1,200 million in your hole body) then the capillaries (the capillaries transport oxygen into the red blood cell.

Your lung capacity can be smaller of you are smaller and if you do not exercise. Another reason is if you smoke it will be smaller. It can be larger if you are taller and if you exercise more often. Another reason is if you do not smoke and you live at high altitudes'.

If you are taller and play more sports you will have a large lung capacity . Also if you live in the mountains you will have a larger lung capacity. If you are a shorter person and play less sports you will have a smaller lung capacity. Also if you live in the lower range like the plains you will have a smaller lung capacity.

Everyones lung capacity is different, for, example a man or boy who does a lot of exercise or activity and is tall, they would have a larger lung capacity but if you are a girl whom is small and doesn't do any or little exercise then they would have a smaller lung capacity. But I am a taller person and I do exercise but I'm a girl so I have a medium lung capacity.

One way that your lung compacity can be smaller is if you are shorter,you don't exersize very often,and if you do smoke,and if you live in the lower places like us you could have a smaller lung compacity.A couple of ways you could have a larger lung compacity is if you exersize often,if you live in the higher places like alot of people in Tennessee would probably have have larger lung compacity than us,if you don't smoke,and if you are taller

One thing that can lower lung capacity is smoking. Smoking will make your lungs sick. One thing that will increase lung capacity is when you exercice not only does it make the rest of our body fit, it also makes your lungs have a higher lung capacity. When you exercize in a spand of time it makes your lung capicty bigger.

When you inhale the air goes down your mouth or nose then to the trachea then to the bronchi then in the bronchioles then to the alveoli . And when you exhale it works in reverse it goes alveoli then bronchioles then the bronchi then to the trachea then to the mouth or nose and air comes out.

You've correctly described the process of inhaling, but that wasn't the discussion item. Think about what's posted and respond again later.

Girls usually have a smaller Lung capacity than Boys and the more you exercise the bigger the lung capacity you have. Im a girl, so I have a smaller Lung capacity.

Well, a fact that would affect me would be, I'm a girl. And girls tend to have a smaller lung capacity than most boys. Even if we exercise a lot, we'll still (most likely) have a smaller capacity. Thankfully, I don't smoke, but that makes your lung capacity smaller, too.
