Internal Organs

Question: Internal organs? If your internal organs collapse or fail (including lungs), could you be able to cough up blood? Dont judge my question im curious XP

Answer: You need more information. If your lungs collapsed you would not be breathing so then no coughing would occur. If you have say something wrong with your stomach or your intestines than yes you can probably cough up blood. if you are coughing up blood, and it's not stopping or is a lot of blood. I would go to the doctor. You could just have a really raw throat or you could have some complications with smoking. I would still just go to the doctor.

Question: What is a doctor that studies the internal organs of the human body called? So, I want to know what a doctor that studies internal organs of the human body is called. I don't even know if there is a type of doctor that can just study the internal organs. I also like the organ systems. So what kind of doctor is that called- one that studies internal organs and/or the organ systems. Thanks :)

Answer: An internist, or a specialist in internal medicine. If you want to further specialize, you can choose to focus on one of the subcategories in internal medicine, such as gastroenterology.

Question: How many internal organs could you remove from a healthy human before they died? Imagine we have a healthy, adult human on an operating table sedated just enough to nullify the pain, and surgeons set about removing the subject's internal organs one at a time with precise medical operation; how long could the subject survive (eg, be coherent, for example be able to talk or tap out signals with their fingers). Surely the subject would only need a heart and lungs to do this, although as soon as they had to eat or drink they would die? Silly question I know, but I have always wondered...I'm not very educated when it comes to Biology! Thanks! I mean taking the organs out in turn, least vital first.

Answer: 1 lung and 1 kidey, and some other minor organs probably

Question: How does a quadrapalegic's internal organs work without the brain signaling them? A person who is quadrapalegic requires a respirator to breathe because the brain is not contacting the lungs to tell them to breathe. So how do all the other internal organs function?

Answer: it all depends on where they nerves lie in relation to where the injury has occured...with cervical fractures, the nerves involving respiration are affected - hence the reason they need the aid of a respirator...fractures further down the spine (such as thoracic or lumbar fractures) tend to affect - in descending order - the upper body and then lower body...nerves involving the activity of heart and other vital organs aren't usually affected because they are located near the brain (ie, cranial nerves).

Question: What kind of doctor studies internal organs? what is the name of the kind of doctor that studies internal organs like the heart and kidney? thank you very much?

Answer: They are called "internists".

Question: Does a corset actually mess up your internal organs if worn for long periods of time? I have read that wearing a corset for a long time can move your internal organs around I am unsure if this is true or not because whenever I look it up I just find sketches that were drawn in the 1800's which obviously doesn't help me much So is it true or not?

Answer: I have read that they move around just as much as if you were pregnant. When you stop wearing the corset then your organs return to about where they were before. The corset does reshape your rib cage by drawing your floating bottom ribs inward and creating the hour glass figure. As long as you aren't tight lacing from the get go and gradually train and reduce your waist you should be alright. If you want to know more then go to these pages.

Question: What is the role of nervous system in the control of internal organs? I need more help understanding their role in terms of internal organs.

Answer: The nervous system is a network of specialized cells that communicate information about an organism's surroundings and itself. It processes this information and causes reactions in other parts of the body. It is composed of neurons and other specialized cells called glial cells,(plural form glia), that aid in the function of the neurons. The nervous system is divided broadly into two categories: the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. In biology and anatomy, an organ (Latin: organum, "instrument, tool", from Greek όργανον - organon, "organ, instrument, tool") is a tissue that performs a specific function or group of functions within an organism. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usually there is a main tissue and sporadic tissues. The main tissue is the one that is unique for the specific organ. For example, main tissue in the heart is the myocardium, while sporadic are the nerves, blood, connective etc.. Functionally related organs often cooperate to form whole organ systems. Organs exist in all higher biological organisms, in particular they are not restricted to animals, but can also be identified in plants. In single-cell organisms like bacteria, the functional analogues of organs are called organelles

Question: How can I feel my internal organs? I know it sounds strange, but every time I feel a pain in my internal organs I realize I have a stomach, lungs, Intestines, my veins trough my wrists. I want to be able to identify them one by one in their healthy state. For example are you able to feel your hypothalamus?

Answer: HUH!!??

Question: Is there such a thing as getting your internal organs boiled? I was told by someone that when they were a child, their internal organs were essentially boiled (however, I am not sure how this happened.) Is this possible?

Answer: Although my medical knowledge is not that of a doctors, both my parents are and I have taken multiple anatomy, physiology, biology classes and I am fairly certain this can happen. It could be caused by one of two things. The first thing that comes to mind would be an intense fever. The human body would shut die and the person would die at a temperature of roughly 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit so the term 'boiled' may not be totally accurate because we think of water boiling at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if the fever were high enough and the person did survive, it is possible that the body temp was high enough to induce an almost 'cooking' of the internal organs. The second cause that comes to mind would literally be an external heat source. If a person was thrown into a fire, aside from the obvious tissue burns on their skin, it is possible and very likely, that the internal organs would also heat to a higher than normal temp. However, if they did survive a fire, there would most likely be noticeable scaring on the skin. Some sort of heating device might exist that could penetrate the skin with waves of a sort and increase the temperature internal while not affecting the skin and this too could theoretically cause a 'boiling' of the organs.

Question: What internal organs are behind your waist? What internal organs are behind your waist where you wear your pants?

Answer: Starting from the lower back and moving upward to the mid-back... Uterus, intestines, kidneys, spleen, pancreas. If pain is being felt in your lower back this is usually related to the uterus but can be a sign of endometriosis. Some people also have lower back aches and pains if the have scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine) or poor posture. If you have pain in your mid-back area just below the last rib that is a sign of kidney problems and you need to see a doctor.

Question: how are the internal organs anchored to the body? how are the internal organs anchored to the body?

Answer: There are lots of membranes that anchor parts of the body. For example, the small intestine is anchored to the abdominal wall by the mesentery. The large intestine is anchored by the mesocolon. Also, some ligaments hold things together. For instance the falciform ligament holds the liver to the diaphragm.

Question: In Yoga it is claimed that by doing the postures you can activate the internal organs and cure ailments. Is i? In modern exercise, for each exercise, the target muscle is given, whereas in yoga, it is claimed that each poisture activates certain internal organs and cure different ailments. Is it possible?

Answer: It makes sense if you think abou tyour body (while doing yoga) as a dish rag..... essentially, with each posture, you are "ringing out" your body, thereby ringing out your internal organs, causing them to "let loose" some of the toxins that build up......and then they are relased (which is why its really important to drink lots of water afterwardds....to flush out the toxins that have just been flsuhed into your bloodstream.....). So, rather than "target areas" like in regular exercise, yoga , by virtue of the twisting inherent in it, affects many different parts of yur body......

Question: what are the effects of radiation therapy on the internal organs of the human body? When a person is treated for cancer with radiation therapy, is it true that the internal organs fuse, and muscles become similar to scar tissue formation after burns or surgery cuts, and is it true that it may not be possible to do any further muscle repair surgeries on the areas where radiation is given.

Answer: In the human body, every kind of cells like those that cancerous and healthy grows and is being separated to shape new cells. However, comparatively, cancer cells have a rapid rate of growing instantaneously than various types of cancer cells around them. We can familiar with how radiation therapy works by understanding the battle between these cancer cells and radiation therapy. The fast facts about radiation therapy mainly give emphasis to record of patient, which is cured by the radiation therapy. The proportion like two- third of all cancer patients takes the treatment of radiation therapy at the time of their illness. Last year in 2004, almost one million patients are diagnosed by the radiation therapy. In the year 2004, approximately thousands of hospitals and freestanding radiation centers facilitate millions of patients by radiation therapy. Radiation is also used to treat several diseases, such as thyroid problems, heart disorders and non-cancerous tumors. The long-term side effects of radiation therapy are occurred according to the type of treatments patient receives. While taking treatment of radiation therapy, a patient has to suffer from long term side effects like those that swelling named as edema. In this swelling, because of the general inflammation, there is an occurrence of the swelling of soft tissues. Therefore, there is a large possibility while taking the radiation treatment for brain tumors and brain metaphases, when there is pre-existing rising of intracranial pressure. Also there is a large possibilty of obstruction of the lumen like treacha or bronchus by the tumor. So surgical intervention should be take place before radiation threapy. The second long term side-effect od radiation threapy is the problem like Infertility. The body organs like gonads named as ovaries or testicals are highly sensitive to the radiation threapy. Because of the throughout exposure of this gonalds to doses in radiation threapy, this organ can not generate gametes. Various body regions containing radiation threapy are developed to decrease, if not entirely separate the radiation dose to body organ gonald if they are not part of the primary area of raiation treatment. Several types of body tissues which becomes minimal after receiveing the radiation threapy are responsible for long-term side effects of radiation therapy. The irradiated Tissues like Fibrosis have low level of elasticity over the long period only because of a diffusing scarring process. Also by this radiation threapy, sometimes these fibroosis tissues tend to cause Fibrosis-related diseases and disorders like Cystic fibrosis of the pancreas and lungs, Injection fibrosis in children as a result of complication of intramuscular injections. Hair loss is referred as a long-term side effects of radiation therapy. This hair loss in the patients taking radiation therapy is permanent in this hair loss occurs only in the organs which is under the treatment of radiation therapy. The problems like Dry mouth named xerostomia and dry eyes named xerophthalmia are become irritating long-term side effects because of the the radiation threapy treatment and decrease and affect the reguler lifestyle of patient. Because of the highly sensitive radioactive rays in radiation threapy, sweat glands like armpit stop to work properly in the body and the mucosa which is naturally moist vaginal is frequently dry because of the following pelvic irradiation. Dark yellowish and concentrated type of urine, feeling of lightheaded, dizzy, faint, vomiting like coffee grounds or blood are the symptoms of nausea due to radiation therapy. Nausea is one of the side effects of the radiation therapy. A patient gets a feeling of sick to his stomach because of the affect of nausea due to radiation therapy. Also that cause large amount of omitting. This type of side effect occurs highly when a patient receives radioactive rays on his body organs like stomach, abdomen, chest and spines. This side effect nausea and vomiting becomes less when the radiation therapy is given to other parts of body organs. Cumulative side effects of radiation therapy include both acute and persistent effects of radiography therapy. The side effects of radiation therapy may happen due to high energy of radiations. These side effects may occur due to different tolerance of people. These side effects cannot be predicted by physicians and radiographers. Sometimes physician can predict late side effects of radiography techniques These Cumulative side effects of radiation therapy may visible after some weeks of treatment. Usually it will take 5 to 7 week to reveal side effects. These side effects are not limited to particular area of body. The side effects of radiation therapy are separated according to type of radiation treatment. Therefore, the side effects are distinguished as acute radiation therapy side effects, general symptoms of radiation side effects, organ sp

Question: What would cause painful internal organs? I have lymph congestion and have been doing lymph drainage thru a licensed therapist. When she pushes any internal organs, especially right side, they hurt something awful. I have bodywide pain, mostly in lymph. What could cause of this be? Virus? Autoimmune? I am frustrated. Thanks

Answer: Inflamation of the organ, or infection of it deffiently would make you hurt but also is usually assisted by a fever. The only way you would really know is to have a CAT scan I believe or an ultrasound. Hopefully you told the therapist so she can tell your specialist!
