“The lung is no longer a lung, it has changed, and it has been replaced by something else.”
On February 28, the first autopsy report of New Coronary Pneumonia was released. Professor Liu Liang, who presided over the anatomy of the first New Coronary Pneumonia deceased, said in an interview with the media.
Report results suggest that: New coronary pneumonia mainly causes inflammatory reactions characterized by deep airway and alveolar damage. Pulmonary fibrosis and consolidation are less severe than those caused by SARS, and exudative reactions are more pronounced than SARS. Whether the myocardium and epicardium, kidney, spleen, digestive tract organs, and brain are associated with viral infections remains to be further studied.
As we all know, the lung is the human respiratory organ and an important hematopoietic organ. It is located in the chest cavity, one on the left and one on the heart. The lungs are directly connected to the outside air through the trachea and nose.
So, what should a normal lung look like? How important is the lung to the human body?
