Letâ€™s go on a â€œFantastic Voyage!â€

Imagine that you are a video reporter piloting a mini-sub that has been put through a miniaturization process making you and the sub only 8 microns long! (Ever see the movie â€œInner Spaceâ€?)
You have been injected into the femoral vein of a healthy female. The alert just came out that a bacterium is invading the lower lobe of the right lung!! You are to pilot your sub to the site of the â€œinvasionâ€ and do a live report on what you see.

Trace your path from the right femoral vein to the lower lobe of the right lung via the right pulmonary artery:
Rules of the Road:
You may never go the wrong way down a â€œone-way streetâ€
You are not allowed to â€œcreateâ€ new roads
You may choose any possible route

Describe all major structures you pass by or through, just like a tour guide would do (but you donâ€™t need to indicate every â€œside roadâ€).
Now that youâ€™ve arrived at the lung, describe the structures you see, and narrate how the body combats the invading bacterium using the knowledge you have gained in the first 4 units. Address both specific and nonspecific immunity and the cells that are involved in each process.
Once you have documented the â€œBattle of the Lung,â€ cross the alveolar membrane, and trace your route out of the body through the nose.
