extend as unmyelinated axons

bundle w/ other olfactory neurons thru ethmoid plate to the olfactory bulb

pharyngeal surface of epiglottis

Answer 13

faces mouth opening
resp. epi
seromucous glands

Question 14

the core of the epiglottis consists of ?

Answer 14

elastic cartilage

Question 15

describe the false vocal chords

Answer 15

vestibular folds
resp. epi
seromucous glands
tips have dif. cells

Question 16

tip of false vocal chords

Answer 16

covered by stratified squame because this area experiences more abrasions

Question 17

describe true vocal chords

Answer 17

stratified squame

lack seromucous glands

Question 18

the remaining portions of the larynx is covered w/

Answer 18

resp. epi

Question 19

what are the two types of epithelium found in the larynx

Answer 19

resp. epi

stratified squame

Question 20

Answer 22

resp. epi w/ thick BM

lymphatic tissue present in lamina propria

Question 23

submucosa of trachea

Answer 23

many sero-mucous glands

adventitia of trachea

Answer 24

16-20 C shaped cartilages
openings of the C is covered by muscle

mixed glands and capillaries present

Question 25

the extrapulmonary bronchi are also called

Answer 25

primary bronchi resemble the trachea but smaller cartilage rings are complete circles

Question 26

primary bronchi divide into secondary bronchi or ____ bronchi. with __ on the right and __ on the left.

Answer 28

decrease | increase

Question 29

characteristics of bronchioles

Answer 29
