Will both lungs collapse if one is collapsed? why or why not?

Will both lungs collapse if one is collapsed? why or why not?
absolutely not.
because it is separated from respectively other by a membrane called pleural sac. this pleural sac are supposed to carry on the resting state of the lung after expiration.
puncture of this sac will make lung to collapse, pneumothorax.
sometimes it is better to puncture one of your lung if in that is mild pneumothorax affecting it.
no only one will because they a re 2 separate lungs
no silly u still enjoy one working but be careful that collaspe u drown
No. I believe you would need to puncture both lungs to construct them both collapse.
No. I know someone with 1 collapsed lund and a ordinary 2nd lung. Lungs can collapse from serious injuries, like vehicle accidents, respiratory disorders similar to pneumonia, cancer & COPD and of course smoking can front to those and much more. For best answer check webmd.com
No, but if one collaspe and the other doesn't the one that didn't collaspe will have to work harder to formulate up for the one that did collaspe.
No. What affects one will not necessarily affect the other. for example, a punctured lung is just that a lung not lungs. The operate independently.
One lung or a slice of one lung can collapse. There are 3 sections within the right and 2 (to make room for the heart) on the right. Only the section, which are called lobes, that are injured will deflate.
