Laminar Flow in the Lungs *EXPLAINED*

Laminar flow in the lungs refers to the smooth and orderly movement of air through the respiratory system. This type of flow occurs when air travels through the bronchial tubes and alveoli without turbulence or disruption. The laminar flow allows for efficient gas exchange, ensuring that oxygen is properly absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is eliminated from the body. This process is crucial for maintaining proper lung function and overall respiratory health. disruptions in laminar flow can lead to respiratory problems such as airway obstruction or decreased oxygen exchange.
