A

thyroid cartilage

38
Q

what keeps the thyroid cartilage in place

A

ligaments that attach it to the hyoid bone and epiglottis

39
Q

what is the function of the thyroid cartilage

A

maintain open airway

40
Q

what does cricoid cartilage look like

A

bat symbol

41
Q

where is the cricoid cartilage

A

inferior to thyroid cartilage, superior to thyroid gland

42
Q

what is cricoid cartilage made of

A

hyaline cartilage

43
Q

what is the function of cricoid cartilage

A

maintain open airways

44
Q

what does the epiglottis seperate

A

orpharynx from larangopharynx

45
Q

what is the function of cricoid cartilage

A

maintain open airways

46
Q

what is the epiglottis made of

A

elastic cartilage

47
Q

how does epiglottis close opening to larynx

A

when we swallow, muscles contract to lift larynx to meet epiglottis

48
Q

what is vocal folds

A

mucous membrane lining larynx

49
Q

what are the two types of vocal folds

A

true and false

50
Q

properties of true vocal folds

A

produce sound, membrane covers inferior ligaments

51
Q

properties of false vocal folds

A

do not produce sound, membrane covers superior ligament in larynx

52
Q

the true and false vocal folds are lined with

A

Stratified SE

53
Q

the larynx is lined with

A

PCCE

54
Q

where is the trachea

A

anterior to the esophagus

55
Q

what is located on the trachea

A

c shaped rings of hyaline cartilage

56
Q

where are the rings of carilage

A

anterior and lateral trachea

57
Q

what trachea is lined with

A

PCCE

58
Q

if you smoke, what happens to the trachea

A

the PCCE turns into stratified squamous epithelium

59
Q

where is the cough reflex

A

carina

60
Q

where does the trachea turn into the bronchi

A

at the carina

61
Q

describe the right primary bronchi compared to that of the left

A

the right sits at a vertical angle, and is shorter and wider because of the location of the heart

62
Q

what is the bronchi lined with

A

PCCE

63
Q

describe the transition of the type of bronchi

A

primary to secondary to tertiary to bronchioles to terminal bronchioles to alveoli

64
Q

as cartilage decreases in the bronchi _____ increases

Q

what is the tissue in bronchioles

A

simple CCE

67
Q

what is the tissue in terminal bronchioles

A

simple cuboidal epithelium

68
Q

what happens when someone has asthma

A

the smooth muscle in bronchi and bronchioles contracts to decrease diameter, reducing airflow

69
Q

what are clusters of alveoli

A

alveolar sacs

70
Q

what do alveoli do

A

they are the site of gas exchange between lungs and blood

71
Q

what is the lining of alveoli
