Q

Bronchoconstriction

A
  • Constricts bronchi
  • Caused by:
  • Parasympathetic ANS activation
  • Histamine release (allergic reactions

Q

Alveolar Epithelium
* Consists of simple squamous epithelium
* Consists of thin, delicate———–controlld by——

A

type I pneumocytes
patrolled by alveolar macrophages (dust cells)
* Contains type II pneumocytes (septal cells) that produce sufectant

18
Q

Surfactant

A

Is an oily secretion
* Contains phospholipids and proteins
* Coats alveolar surfaces and reduces surface
tensio

19
Q

Gas Pressure and Volume
* Boyle’s Law
* Defines the relationship between gas pressure and
volume

20
Q
  • In a contained gas:
A
  • External pressure forces molecules closer together
  • Movement of gas molecules exerts pressure on
    containe
