Gil Hedley: Exquisite lungs breathing
February 22nd, 2012 | by admin |
A demonstration of breath filling human lungs. The demonstration is performed with the deeply appreciated gift of a human body from a donor program, with no fixatives added. Integral anatomy is an approach to learning anatomy by studying whole textural layers, and noticing our relationships with them. Inspiration is a key to wholesome healthy living. Enjoy the pleasure of breathing: every inhalation is a gift! To learn more, visit www.gilhedley.com Thank you for viewing this clip! (in answer to the question, “How is this done?” An instrument has been introduced into the airway of the form through which air is being delivered to inflate the lungs at the pace of human breath. The rib-basket has been reflected and removed to enable viewing of the process of the lungs filling with air. Breath while you watch, it is an expansive experience.

@XSVterror18 is something that the fat girls have in huge amounts and try to disimulate. . . or eliminate with a lipo surgery. . . . do you got it?

They had big lungs. I bet they could kill your chorus. (Semi Precious Weapons reference. . . =-P)

@jvboy88 We are introducing air into the air pathways through a tube in the trachea off camera, in order to demonstrate the filling of the lungs, their innate elasticity, and the manner in which simple lung volume changes effect motion in other organs.

@drumaboy200 The diaphragm in normally related to the costal margin, which has been removed, so the free edge of the diaphragmic tissues have been tucked out of view, since their “action” was not part of the experiment, but rather the manual inflation of the lungs via a tube.

Amazing, an ability most of us never get the chance to experience. The reality of how the lungs and respiratory system works is first class.

@D0000242 PS: We weren’t a bunch of “goofy students,” but several adult researchers, in awe of the beauty of the human form. I have a Ph. D. , we worked with full consent of the institution with a body donated for research, and I take satisfaction in knowing that I fulfilled the donor and donor family’s wishes that their gift be both appreciated, used, and learned from, and that so many continue to learn from this gift that keeps on giving with every viewing of this clip.

@D000242 You’d be loathe to donate your body then, which is, of course, your prerogative
The clip shows the manner in which lung inflation affects related organ mobility as a function not merely of diaphragmatic action, but from the changes in lung volume alone. I have more footage of the motion of the liver as induced by this lung inflation, import to visceral manipulators. We also learned something about the fixation of the lungs relative to pathological adhesions. Every breath is a gift!

If I was the dead owner of that body, I’d be pissed to see that a bunch of students are doing pointless, goofy experiments with it.

I wonder if the lung’s tissue are still alive?
