I think the fact the airways being attached to the esophagus is a pretty big problem too I haven’t gotten tuberculosis but I damn have choked on my own saliva
It happens but if esophagus don't intersect with pharynx then humans won't be able to speak and suck
Because when we speak we push air out through our mouths and when we take a sip we pull air in through our mouths
Happens way too often with me. One second I'm breathing the other choking 😂
Our lungs have many, many flaws
😅 God, I hate it when that happens!
I wish our lungs were located more towards our back with our trachea connecting directly to our nose and our esophagus being a completely separate tube that runs infront of the new lung setup, so that way we could eat and breathe at the same time with a special flap that opens only when we're speaking or coughing.
There's also other protective measures like sneezing , coughing and macrophages that eat particles
There's also other protective measures like sneezing , coughing and macrophages that eat particles. You can think of those as ways to clean the traps. I mean, you don't want dust hanging out in your lung muck forever! - Cameron
@@MinuteEarth Too bad the mask keeps those particles inside.
That's why we had never worn them before- at least before the establishment went mad in March of 2020 with that Bill Gates money.
In this video traps: lvl 200
Sneezing: lvl 200+
Viruses: *OOF*
“Get out humans”
Also short Term effective is holding One'x Breath, because if One is not breathing in the Particles, they also can not reach the Lungs, till the Moment passes or One can find better Air :)
@@MinuteEarth I've got a question for you guys. Why do you guys change the thumbnail of your video after its uploaded ? For example this video the original thumbnail on release had a picture of the lungs with a crosshead overlaying it but now it's just a picture of our lungs.
Bullets? Is it bullets? In my experience lungs don’t do too well with bullets. So, if you’re going to say they have one weakness. I’m gonna say that weakness is bullets.
Yeah, the really big particles just bust through any trap,... or walls,... in your system, especially if they are moving fast. We shouldn't want these pollutants flying through our air, either. :p
Aw, they changed the title and now this joke makes no sense.
@@zero11010 What was the title?
@@Raiwrldacamedic something like: “what’s the one weakness of lungs?”
@@zero11010 I see.
Fact: Longterm exposure to your own lungs is terminal.
The correlation is concerning, but can you prove causation?
If you factor in the effect of having less than two lungs, the correlation becomes negative with that of survival
Not everyone who has ever died had lungs, but most of them did.
Fun Fact: anything longterm is terminal.
100 procent of people that drink water die
For some reason I now want a game to be made relating to how particles get to the lungs

The way you think, nice
You already playing it.
it'll basically be a 3 part game with first part as an RPG in the forest, or horror in the forest. Second part will be need4speed. Last part will be the arcade games that you drop a ball and win prizes.
This strongly reminded me of that ruff ruff man game of a virus or something.
The filtration particle size problems are similar to what happens to HEPA air filtration systems.
Did the engineering of the HEPA filters was inspired from biology i wonder 🤔?
@@manooxi327it obviously was? Many things we have are inspired by biology
@@Taha_A It could have been inspired by biology or that they just discovered that whatever material works good at filtering air; many times inventors just happen to stumble upon a mechanism that is also used biologically
@@FeoreoX16 that's fair
I argue that this is not a flaw.
Our lungs likely did not evolve to filter out particles of this size because they did not exist until very recently relative to our species’ entire history. Therefore, this is not our body’s fault, only a shortcoming. The true blame goes to the producers of said particles.
Next evolutionary adaptation will be being able to breath in *this* and survive
"The true blame goes to the producers of said particles" in other words humanity ......... and before you say "big business" ther would be no big business if you wouldn.t buy ther stuff
@@baronbrummbar8691 You're making the same mistake the Wren sponsor makes. That someone produces useful stuff and puts it where we can benefit from it does not in any way make us responsible for harmful things that someone does at the same time, i.e. producing particles.
We should make _them_ stop producing harmful particles; and maybe they will respond by no longer producing useful stuff for us to buy, but I'm sure it will be quite easy to endure not having that stuff available.
@@Tzizenorec you mean you want to Llive without basicly EVERYTHING
-
you clearly don.t know how complex everthink is .......
lets just start with somthing simple as food
1. much less food and it is much more exspensive as the Fertilisation is either by artifical Fertilisers or by animal remains ...... (both are terrible for the envionment)
2. the variety for food would be drasticly less ..... transporation of fruits and vegtables is dirty ... next time when you go shopping look at all you food and look what is regional (basicly nothing)
3. Quality ..... without industrial cooling or transport during non harvest months you will have to preserve everything you want to eat .... that means (depending on where you live) ~3-6 months of only eating pickled,salted & dried food
--------------
i don.t know anybody that lives like that and we are just talking about a tiny tiny part of all the goods you use
you can also forget everything made out of metal and plastics ........... and good luck with that
-----
and how about electricity ...... ther is no form of elecricity that is truly clean either
i don.t even want to talk about coal and nuclear even if you are 100%
the baterys you have to use a terrible the material the solar panels are out are dug out by a combination of slave labour and pooring accid into the wild
and after ther live expactincy is over we don.t know what to do with them either
-
the only way to live truly lean is by living exactly like the humans 300 years ago ..... and i can tell you live sucked back then (even if you don.t count all the wars and slavery and monarchy .-....)
@@baronbrummbar8691 Shh... shh. It'll be fine. You underestimate our ability to adapt.
A lot of our need for those things you mention is itself a consequence of our destruction of the environment, and there is new technology coming down the pipe to help with un-destroying the environment.

Unbelievable, yes it definitely is.
@@dhans9662I don’t think humans have even existed for more than 50,000 years.
At work, we are required to grind down the corrosion on the back of the wheel hub, every time we take a wheel off.
This is how you’re supposed to do it, but most places don’t. Since they go so long without being cleaned, we usually get a large dust cloud of corrosion to breath in.
I don’t know how, but for some reason they do not provide us with respirators to avoid breathing that in.
So I guess I’ll just buy my own.
please buy your own even if its expensive because the medical bills will be even more if youre in america
@@Thepopcornisconsumingme the only other issue is the light particles float in the air and wearing a mask 24/7 isn’t practical; especially during the summer.
But if I’m cleaning a wheel and there’s a lot of corrosion, I have a mask

@@TheRandomEmerald I would… but I’m in my mid 20s, I work full time, and I’m going to school nearly full time. I don’t have the funds or power to actually challenge a corporation. If I were to do anything it’d just be a waste of time and money. I know it’s annoying, but my voice will go unheard, I’d lose my job, and I’d be screwed.
I hate certain things with the company, but I just don’t have the power to do anything.
The thing that hurts most is the only way I’d get enough power and equity is if I were to be diagnosed with lung cancer or something.
I love that Celeste reference at the start 0:01
Great video. Although I had hoped you'd also talk about other ways particles can enter, specifically through the mouth. I have this issue where I sometimes breathe in rice or bread crumbs and then try to cough them out. Since those particles are rather large and don't get captured before entering the lungs, I'd really like to know what happens with the large particles in the lung.
Sometimes??
@@denisg1208 happens maybe once or twice per month
@@bjarnes.4423 I'm not sure that's normal. It happened to me maybe once or twice _ever._ Maybe you ought to see your doctor about what you can do to prevent this.
@@bjarnes.4423 Yeah that’s not normal, should get that checked out.
We all know the casual noodle or rice coming out of our nose. Sometimes they even got launched on one hole like it's a bullet.
Honestly this is a pretty short and sweet summary of why we should avoid poluting the air. Good job!
3:36 people only care about carbon dioxide but not the other greenhouse gases, carbon only affects more cause its in a MUCH larger amount than other greenhouse gases
The oesophagus should be completely separate from the breathing pathway. We could then eat/drink and breathe at the same time, minimizing the risk of choking. The body should also have a backup method of assimilating oxygen in case the lungs become overly clogged up or compromised. Many of our bodily systems are far too vulnerable and in need of an upgrade. Of course cyborg bodies may one day be the better choice.
Get to work then champ. Let us know how it goes.
Cyberborg bodies are pointless long term and overall costly, simple genetic modification is far better and can achieve similar or even greater results when pared with external machinery.
@@tfan2222 "simple" genetic modification? Simple?! u wot mate? Since when was genetic modification ever simple? We've made more progress with artificial limbs than we have with genetic engineering. It's a lot less risky too, as the one danger is immune rejection.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn ask a farmer or animal keeper how easy it is.

@@anaykekre3343 I am a Patreon supporter!
I thought the fatal flaw would be that although we have two lungs, so we can survive if one fails, they both still take in air from the same passage.
That is small issue
One crucial correction: those nasty sub-mkm particles (with aerodynamic diameter of several hundred nm) have a great chance to make all the way out due to the same reasons they can reach alveoli. A large portion of them are exhaled back. Guess, what is a particle size of a tobacco smoke, that is partially exhaled?
the human body itself is something that produces carbon
@@daffa_fm4583 No, it doesn't produce carbon, it exhales carbon that it consumed in food.
@@JimBalter Carbon dioxide is produced in the body as a result of cellular respiration.
Hmm
750nm?
I m just guessing
@@herisuryadi6885 Depends on many factors: age, sex, body position, inhale and exhale rates, etc. So, generally speaking, it’s several hundred nanometers.
Great video once again! I love these videos talking about the anatomy of places in the torso or head. I guess it's because those places are closest to most of our sensory organs, so we are the most intimately familiar with them. As a result, anything which gives a new perspective on these regions can completely alter one's worldview.

perfect video for those who just started playing D&D and loved science for a long time.
I feel like this video could have delved a bit more into those defensive systems, & also not continue to spread the idea that individuals like you & me mitigating our "carbon footprint" can make a difference. The carbon that people produce driving everyday is nothing compared to the amount of private jet flights that billionaires take. The natural gas heating in our homes doesn't compare to the wasted office space that uses far more energy & fossil fuels to heat & cool throughout the year. The "carbon footprint" is a marketing term that was invented by companies like BP, Chevron, & other large oil companies to draw attention away from industrial & systemic practices that were causing the majority of pollution, & instead make it a matter of individual responsibility.
I guess we'll just leave it to the big oil companies and our politicians to save our planet. Afterall, there is nothing we can do to help the planet because we don't matter
“You can’t save the world with all the help you can give, but the world will need all the help it can take”
(Paraphrasing a comment I saw from a Kurzgesagt video)
True that we’re being used as a way to divert blame from corporations and companies, but if people started actually caring about making a difference they’d have to start with themselves where they’d eventually realize and understand the situation.
@@goldbuttertheminecra during the peek of Covid 19 in 2020 when everyone was inside and individuals were producing an all time low of carbon emissions it only dropped emissions by 5.4% and even then the actual amount of CO2 in the air rose at roughly the same rate as previous years.
I see no point in even trying to make a difference when 50 years of work by one person can be negated by 1 person in 1 day

Based on where the arrow was pointing in that thumbnail I figured you were gonna tell me that the fatal flaw of the respiratory system was the windpipe and how easily it can be crushed, and that the evolution necessary to fix it is that we must grow multiple windpipes.

Just wait until you fine out what causes depression. Which is the pursit of fun and happiness resulting in 300 million depressed people, 240 million with anxiety and one of the top 20 causes for suicide.
In other words, stop getting lost in fun and happiness and DO something to address the more serious matters before it's too late. Why destroy yourself losing yourself in drink and cigs to forget when pain improves people when it's face/confronted/accepted? I can understand it can be hard. It doesn't change the fact it's what works. If it's proven to work (it is) then avoiding pain, which results in drinking/smoking/being lazy, etc, is counter pdroductive. Ergo, do the productive thing. Face/confront even if afraid/in pain.
I said "accept pain and fear". I didn't say "Chug down a bottle of booze". There's a difference. The complication is that even if facing/confronting evreything none physical (eg: always push for communication/honesty no matter how much you don't like it), it can get confused with "Take those drugs" or "Keep drinking". Accepting everything doesn't mean "chase" everything. Focus. Organize. Consider the long term affects of burgers and sausages. etc. The only thiing to always be chased for is "answers". Knowledge. Learning. Let the rest write itself. Question everything. Always stand your ground. Don't live in the middle of a city where there's a lot of fumes from cars (seriously, that's a big factor). Cities are death traps really. I do the smart thing and live on the side near a large park next to many trees with low rent (yea, you an do that). Imagine how clean the air is here.
Control the mind. Control the body. We are what we repeatedly do. It's a matter of habits. Control the habits. Control your life. Plan. Organize. Act. Communicate. Plan. Organize. Act. Communicate. Remain consistent. Be persistent. Pushed. Struggle. Learn. Push. Adapt. Learn. Treat it like Dark Souls. It's a boss push you down until you keep trying enough to overcome (and please do that with close range instead of range spam if you play the game).
Do it with something you can work with first. Push yourself. Do it with something else. Push yourself. What you learned from games you can transfer to other real events. Push yourself. I think I made my point here. Struggling and breaking is part of the process. Those that keep going learn to get through it.

Anyone gonna talk about the fact that the particles are all dnd classes? A Barbarian, a Bard, a Rogue, and a Wizard
People who live in Rural areas: I have no such weaknesses
I like how the particles are each a different class from D&D. The big particle is a rogue, the medium's a wizard, the small one is a rogue, and the tine one is a bard.
I like how a grain of sand already gives up in the first part
well grain of sand has litrally no incetive to get into you ....... and our body definitley doesn.t want them in us
So what happens to all the trapped particles that get stuck in our nose? Do they sit there for all eternity or does the body slowly digest it?
they get out through your sinuses.
in your snot.
either you blow them out or they slowly drip down your throat through sinuses.
Achooo 👃
They come out in mucus.
Boogers
The slime is transported to our throat and there we swallow it. The amount of material is very small compared to all the (junk) food we eat, so our stomachs have no problem dealing with it.
I love how all the invading particles look like DnD PCs Barbarian, monk, bard and wizard. Brilliant. 😆

I have bronchitis now so I think lungs should be easy to swap out for new perfect lungs at any time.

Why was frying an egg in the emissions graphic and not something like a coal factory? As well as regular face masks in the protective graphic don't block the small particles themselves, they block water particles with the danger on them. That would be more of the job for a reusable respirator. I think as well the video focuses on too much of the small impact by an average individual and not the large companies doing most of the harm and refusing to change.
While reducing your personal emissions is an important step in reaching net zero, it is very important to put this into the broader context. The term 'carbon footprint' was originally coined by BP to distract from the fact that it is corporations, not individuals that account for the overwhelming majority of carbon emissions. I am disappointed that a clearly well researched and put together video failed to include the necessary context when talking about the videos sponsor. Organisations like wren can often do more harm than good by emphasising individual change over systemic change and promoting poorly evidenced carbon offsetting initiatives. I think it is essential when talking about individual climate action that it comes alongside promoting collective and government action as we cannot solve climate change individually
was i the only one who thought the particles looked cute and kind of wanted them to succeed
Funny how I got this in my recommended after my dad aspirated last night (happens kinda often after his esophageal cancer surgery)
It's not lung's flaw
It's our fault, we're making Earth polluted
true. but our lungs and everything would still be far from perfect even if the air we breathe was as clean as possible. nature doesnt care about being perfect. its about being good enough
It is impossible to make our lungs perfect
Im just thinking about pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocpniosis
The most fatal flaw is the inability of our lungs to fully heal once the microarchitecture is disrupted. Inflammation can easily lead to ARDS which lowers the surface area to such an extent that sufficient gas exchange is impossible.
I hope they have enough time to study animal regeneration so it could potentially be attributed to humans to replace scaring.
@@SweatierAcorn if other animals closely related to us cant do it we can like not do it as well. sadly we are not salamanders that can regenerate entire body parts. maybe reverse time and have the first tetropods never leave the oceans so we dont need lungs😂😂

I'm confused about the sizes. I googled average air molecules sizes and found "The molecular sizes of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon are 0.299, 0.305, and 0.363 nanometers (nm)". If the smallest particles on your chart at 2:30 is 0.1μm (100nm), how would they richochet off molecules 1/300th their size?
The answer is simple: air itself is not still. Respiration and the fact that the air is close to body temperature means that air is constantly moving, and its has mass, so particulates lighter than air are most affected by air's own momentum.
The only way air to stay still is to be extremely cold.
It’s part of something called Brownian motion, where large particles move somewhat randomly by bouncing off of a massive crowd of much smaller particles.
Those molecules are moving really damn fast. Imagine getting hit by a constant barrage of tennis balls going 800 MPH. That's roughly the kind of forces we're dealing with.
the motion is b r o w n
This is such a nice way to inform smoking , use petrol/diesel car , cook with traditional method , and factory/coal power plant were a bad thing .
I would like to see a D&D style game where you have to cross these paths...
Is this why Joseph did hamon training?
Yes
The particles look cute lol
Got my nose broke at 10. Deviated septum makes it so I can only breathe out 1 nostril. Not enough air. Against my will I am mouth breather.
I was hoping there was going to be some cyberpunk-esqe body modification one can do to filter out those particles but no, litterally just stay clear of pollution and use air filters in your ventilation system .w.
"But if they get in your lungs they can wreak havoc" I know that all too well my nose is running like a leaky faucet rn
What are those problematic particles? More info is needed!
The video doesnt know like who made the video. Base off internet google wannabe doctor.
I like how you do the particles at the Start
so basically, it's not the lungs that have a flaw, but we're screwing ourselves over
Are you implying that it is the fault of industrialisation, for modifying the environment, and not the human body's fault for not being designed to exist in the modified environment?
I think you might be right.
Por que no los dos?
the problem is that nothing is perfect. nature caused us to be alive but it also causes us to die. wich isnt a bad thing
Smokers be like. Woo smoke can do that to you?
This is the single most compelling video about cleaning up air emissions.
Climate change constitutes a 1 degree increase in average global temperatures over the last 50 years. Not a crisis level of increase. Temperatures change more than that from one day to next. Most environmental problems we face are misattributed to climate when they are actually caused by something else:
• Polar bears (Hunting. Now that hunting has stopped polar bear populations are better than ever.)
• Great Barrier Reef (explosive fishing, dumping wastes. Combined with a low in the natural cycles of coral. The cycle natural cycle has come around and the reef is now at an all time high.)
• Wildfires in California (they are drinking the Colorado river dry, without evaporation from the river it is creating a drought. To fix the over consumption they are implementing anti-evaporation tech, making the problem even worse.)
• icebergs melting (this isn't a problem. Icebergs melt and refreeze every year, arctic life is literally dependent on this cycle. The overall max and min sizes aren't decreasing. The problem is people see dramtic pictures of icebergs breaking off and think that something that big breaking must be a significant event, when it actually happens constantly throughout each year.)
But this video shows how the increase in polution particles adversely effects our health.
lol this must be the dumbest comment i've read today

Yeah. Nice try with wren. I am not paying €360 per month to have my carbon cleaned. Have the multi billion dollar companies do that and make the gass a bit more expensive.
That 360 is going towards food and rent now with a bit of savings and a bit of leasure spending.
Were it 10 or 20, that would be different.
But 360 a month is proposterous
Speaking of air quality I remember in Moscow you could virtually eat air how badly polluted it was. Sill the air quality stations were showing green. Curious what it could be - corruption?

Do any of the natural defenses you talk about happen when you breathe through your mouth? If not would that mean particles entering though your mouth have unrestricted access to your lungs? Thanks :)
they only have the last one as a defence since the other 2 are on the way to your nose
The only one that doesn't actually happen when you breathe through your mouth is the nose hair, the air goes through the same tube after that.
quick doubt. It was mentioned that 0.5-micron particles are the problem. Then, why are PM 2.5 particles talked about a lot these days?
the first used to cause alot of problems till the 90s .... then governments decides that everybody has to use special burners that would brake them apart

those now smaller particals don.t cause as much problems .......... but ther is just much much more of them ......
I do live very frugally and mindfully but according to this calculator I already produce only 25% of CO2 of my country's average and the average American produces a whopping 8.8 times as much as I do. I lack nothing except for what others may perceive as status symbols (luckily I don't care for status).
Making explaination of how lungs filter out dirt into an Animee-Like adventure tale was epic! I hope no dirt can cross my forests and caverns.
How many of us was betting on which particle was gonna get into the lungs?
CO² ain.t really the problem ........ ther are much much worse materials like all the NO´s
I feel like this title is pretty clickbait. Especially for a channel that is supposed to be respectable and putting out honest informative work
normal people: taking public transit is better for the planet
deranged wren: nah bro you gotta drive an electric car
Yeah. Wren is not actually helpful for the environment. Other than them planting tress trees everything else is just politics and lobbying. Powerful politicians have invested in elecreic cars with the plan that they can convince people that driving them saves the environment. But electric cars use electricity and that that power means pollution (unless yours is being supplied by a nuclear power plant) even wind and solar need supplementary coal plants.
Wren is more about getting peoppe to buy into a world order where you can monetize "good for the planet." Many such credit systems already swap in supporting certain polics as granting credit, so you can be horrible for the environment but tell people you're good for the environment by support the credit organizer's political party.
How did you manage to turn breathing into an RPG?
Seriously you’re making the journey from the nose /mouth to the lungs sound like a Pokémon world
I hope devs patch this soon
maybe in the next update
Anti-oxidants such as lycopene can help remove the junk entering the blood stream, as well as eating better.
fun fact: fatal lungs are very rare because when sand gets into lungs you get fatal lungs
thats horrible
You have entered _Nose Hair Forest._

@@shehanchanuka15 which is exactly what they're doing
@@shehanchanuka15 I take the bus, don't buy new clothes often, and have rewilded my garden. Oh and I also am not the one emitting billions of tonnes of CO2 emissions. So maybe they can take a step forward too, lead the way.
I really like your art:∆
I want to be skilled like you too someday, keep it up.😄
Title’s kind of misleading. The message is about a man-made problem.
I agree, but tbf I probably would've put off watching this video if it were titled "pollution endangers our lungs" or something to that effect, because I (and likely many viewers of the channel) already know a good bit about how bad air pollution is, so I never would've thought about the actual physiological side of it, and I never would've gotten the education about the circulatory system through the lens of the lungs if I skipped it
Well, yes. It is also about a man-made problem. But I also genuinely learned something about my airways and about what kind of particles it can and cannot trap. I'd say that was the first subject of the video, and then the second was the man-made problem.
*oh wait you said message not subject. Good point!
@@lyrablack8621 One word. Honesty. I want the truth. Not propaganda.
I like how the rogue ends up being the problamatic partical
Is there any evidence that the small particles emitted by cars and coal fired power plants can pass into the bloodstream? Because I haven't heard of that until now.
Silence! No questioning the holy agenda
We have detected microplastics in people's alveoli showing that particles this size can get all the way to the base of your lungs. Also look up small particle air pollution, it is a growing field of reaserch currently, many things are still debated, as in how harmful are they, but some think this is one of the correlations with rising asthma rates in certain communities as well as heightened respiratory dieseases.
Where have you lived ? It's tens of years since we know that micro particulate expecially from diesel engine are albe to reach blood vessels
Good question: facts deserve scrutiny.
Be curious and go investigate!
@@nielskorpel8860 As a rule of thumb, if we want to know something, we should look it up ourselves.
However, if we want other people to know things, we should look it up for them, because if they feel neutral or negative about a topic, they're probably not gonna bother looking it up themselves.
Thank you for the video.
the easy way out is to get rid of your lungs
All these safety measures... and I proceed to accidentally inhale my water giving it an express ticket to the lungs.
The amount of smoke in common human air hasn't changed much in the last 200 years.
😮😮😮 new news to me with the last part of what you said this would explain why seemingly healthy young people die out of the blue the times when something random gets thru to the rest of the liver and causes stroke this is a real eye opening video i thought everything was based off the immune system and overall health but now i see
damn, I'm at 42 views
Same
I like how you drew the particles as RPG classes
