Q

What functions of the Blood?

A
  • Helps with transporting elements throughout body, oxygen for lungs to body tissue and CO2 from body tissues to lungs
  • help with body temp and PH levels
  • immune responses

102
Q

The vocal cords

A

Small ligaments attached to the laryngeal cartilages that vibrate when air is forced out of lungs, sound is produced

103
Q

The trachea

A

Known as the windpipe. Extends from the larynx to the T4/T5 level. Spilts at a junction called the carina. Main function is conduction of air to the lungs

Lies between mucosa and adventitia. Made up of loose connective tissue, containing larger vessels and nerves as well as mucus secreting glands

108
Q

Adventitia of trachea

A

Is the outer layer of connective tissue surrounding the trachea. These rings make the trachea flexible and durable

109
Q
