Q

What is the function of the Simple Squamous Epithelium in the alveolus?

A

Allows for easy diffusion O2 molecule out of the alveolus and into the bloodstream, where it will be delivered to a body cell.

A
  1. Trachea
  2. Primary bronchus
  3. Secondary bronchus
  4. Tertiary bronchus
  5. Bronchiole
25
What is the tissue of the conducting zone?
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium | Except for bronchiole that is Simple cuboidal epithelium
26
What is the tissue of the terminal bronchiole ?
Simple cuboidal epithelium
27
What are the parts of the respiratory zone?
Respiratory bronchiole | Alveoli
28
What is the respiratory zone tissue?
Simple squamous epithelium
29
What does the conducting zone?
Transports air
30
What does the respiratory zone?
Delivers O2 to the blood
31
From the bronchiole to the Terminal bronchiole, how many times it splits?
20 times
32
What are the membranes of the lungs?
Parietal Pleura Visceral Pleural Pleural cavity
33
Hoe many lobes has the left lung?
Two lobes
34
How many lobes has the right lung?
Three lobes
35
What is the parietal fluid?
Serous fluid between parietal and visceral pleura | Helps to reduce friction between two membranes so they can slide smoothly
36
Where is the trachea?
Anterior to the epiglottis | It connects larynx to bronchi
37
What is the trachea composed of ?
Cartilaginous rings
38
What are the parts inside the trachea?

39
What is the GENERAL structure of the O2 pathway?
``` Right side of the heart Pulmonary arteries Pulmonary capillaries Pulmonary veins Left side of the heart ```
40
The structure that drains the middle ear and opens into the lateral wall of the nasopharynx is the
pharyngotympanic tube
41
The nasal mucosa is composed of
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
42
The flap of elastic cartilage that covers either the trachea or the esophagus and prevents food from going to the "wrong tube" is the
epiglottis
43
The respiratory zone of the respiratory tract is made up of the passageways that carry air to the sites of gas exchange.
False
44
The region of the pharynx that is posterior to the nasal cavity and superior to the soft palate is the
nasopharynx
45
The structures that filter incoming air are the
nasal hairs
46
The structure that hangs down in the back of the throat seal off the nasopharynx is the:
uvula
47
The structures that warm and moisten incoming air are the
nasal turbinates
48
The nasopharynx is a passageway for air.
True
49
The respiratory zone of the respiratory tract is composed of the regions where gas exchange actually takes place.
True
50
The nasopharynx is lined with simple squamous epithelium.
False
51
The conducting zone of the respiratory tract is made up of the passageways that carry air to the sites of gas exchange.
True
52
The region of the pharynx that is directly behind the mouth is the
oropharynx
53
The region of the pharynx that connects to the esophagus and the larynx is the
laryngopharynx
54
The mucociliary escalator is a region lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium that captures particles in mucus and then pushes the particles up and out via the movement of cilia.
True
