Paired cartilages of trachea
Arytenoid, Corniculate, Cuneiform
Alveolar cells that allow rapid diffusion of respiratory gases. (consists of simple squamos epithelial cells)
type 1 alveolar cells
Which cells produce surfactant? (consists of cuboidal epithelial cells)
type 2 Alveolar cells
Right lung consist of how many lobes?
3- superior, middle and inferior
Left lung consists of how many lobes?
2 superior and inferior
Soft palate; pendulous, reflect superiorly, closes off the nasopharynx, and prevents food from entering the nasal cavity …..
Uvula
adjacent alveoli interconnect via ______, which allow air pressure to be equalized throughout the lung and provide alternative routes for air to reach the alveoli
Pores of Kohn
main bronchus divides into ______(three on the right and two on the left )
Lobar bronchi
lobar bronchi branch into ….
segmental bronchi
segemental bronchi branch into ….
bronchioles
smallest bronchioles are…
terminal bronchioles
protective coverings of the lungs..
visceral pleura
smooth muscle that decreases the diameter of the trachea/ durng coughing and sneezing this action helps to expel irritants from the trachea
Trachealis
No gas exchange occurs, consists of Trachea, bronchi, bronchioles ;
supportive connective tissue changes(cartilage rings are replaced), epithelium changes, smooth muscle becomes more important
Conducting zone
site of gas exchange consist of respiratory bronchioles, and Alveoli,
Respiratory zone
