Where are goblet cells and cilia located?

A

Along trachea and bronchi

19
Q

What happens to air after it enters from mouth/nose?

A

Goes into trachea

20
Q

What does trachea have? What’s their purpose?

A

Rings of cartilage around it, prevent trachea from collapsing

21
Q

Where does trachea go next?

A

Into thorax

22
Q

What happens to trachea after it reaches lungs?

A

Divides into two bronchi

23
Q

What happens to bronchi?

A

Become smaller and become bronchioles

24
Q

What’s ventilation?

A

The movement of air into and out of the lungs

25
Q

What are the breathing movements of inspiration?

A
  1. Muscle of diaphragm contract
  2. Pulls diaphragm down
  3. Increases volume of thorax
  4. Intercostal muscles contract
26
Q

What are the movements of expiration?

A
  1. Diaphragm relaxes
  2. Diaphragm raises
  3. Volume of thorax decreases
  4. Intercostal muscles relax
27

What happens when you do vigorous exercise?

A

Muscles do anaerobic respiration

28
Q

What happens when you do anaerobic respiration?
