Difference between Liver and Lung

Liver vs. Lung

The liver, an organ only found in vertebrates, detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins, and produces biochemicals necessary for digestion. The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans and many other animals including a few fish and some snails.

Similarities between Liver and Lung

Liver and Lung have 30 things in common (in Unionpedia): Angiotensin, Autoimmune disease, Blood pressure, Blood vessel, CT scan, Disease, Epithelium, Fetus, Fibroblast growth factor, Fibrosis, Foregut, Homology (biology), Human, Human embryogenesis, Infection, Inferior vena cava, Liver, Lobe (anatomy), Organ (anatomy), Oxygen, Parenchyma, Rib cage, Snake, T cell, Thoracic cavity, Thoracic diaphragm, Tissue (biology), Toxicity, Vagus nerve, Vertebrate.

Angiotensin

Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.

Autoimmune disease

An autoimmune disease is a condition arising from an abnormal immune response to a normal body part.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

CT scan

A CT scan, also known as computed tomography scan, makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.

Disease

A disease is any condition which results in the disorder of a structure or function in an organism that is not due to any external injury.

Epithelium

Epithelium is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue.

Fibroblast growth factor

The fibroblast growth factors are a family of cell signalling proteins that are involved in a wide variety of processes, most notably as crucial elements for normal development.

Fibrosis

Fibrosis is the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue in a reparative or reactive process.

Foregut

The foregut is the anterior part of the alimentary canal, from the mouth to the duodenum at the entrance of the bile duct, and is attached to the abdominal walls by mesentery.

Infection

Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.

Inferior vena cava

The inferior vena cava (or IVC) is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart.

Lobe (anatomy)

In anatomy, a lobe is a clear anatomical division or extension of an organ (as seen for example in the brain, the lung, liver or the kidney) that can be determined without the use of a microscope at the gross anatomy level.
