[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1461143, member: 30671"] I think many believe the lungs collapse much like balloons, poke a hole in them they pop. The reality is they are branching segments, and subsegments, down to the small units where O2, and blood combine. Generally just loafing around very small percentage of lung is required, shut down a portion, and other portions will take over. A rather ingenious device really with built in mechanisms to to keep blood flow, and air flow matching by shutting down units that aren't working. [/QUOTE]
