A

cartilage

25
Q

terminal bronchiole vs respiratory bronchioles

A

no alveoli vs some alveoli

26
Q

alveoli has highly associated with _____

A

capillaries

27
Q

label terminal airways

A

blue: terminal bronchiole (last conducting airway)
orange: respiratory bronchioles
purple: alveolar ducts
green: alveolar sac

28
Q

conducting airways do what while respiratory do what?

A

-warms, moistens, and conducts air
-both conduct air & respire

29
Q

structure and function of airway wall

A

Cartilage -Found in larger airways , Helps keep airways open

Smooth muscle- mostly in smaller airways, controls diameter of airway

Elastic Fibers- predominate in smaller airways and respiratory portion

30
Q

Constriction of smooth muscle in smaller airways reduces _____; Elastic recoil provides _____

A

airflow
force for expiration

31
Q

Smooth muscle contraction in bronchioles caused by:

A

Parasympathetic nerve stimulation
Mediators of allergic reactions (histamine)

32
Q

asthmatic airway during attack has ___

A

tightened smooth muscle with inflamed and thickened wall

33
Q

Emphysema is the ___ which lowers ___ and reduces____. It is caused by ___

A

breakdown of alveolar walls
SA for gas exchange; reduced efficiency
elastic recoil due to loss of elastic fibers
smoking, other irritants, (pollution, dust)

34
Q

respiratory epithelium in nasal cavity, nasopharynx, large airways

A

-pseudostratified columnar epithelium (cilated)
-mucus layer floats on serous layer

35
Q

respiratory epithelium in oropharynx

A

Stratified squamous non-keratinized

36
Q

respiratory epithelium as you move into smaller tubes (general)

A

-Simple columnar
-Simple cuboidal
-Simple squamous

37
Q

alveolar wall is (epithelial type) ____ so ___

A

simple squamous epithelial (thin) so air and blood are very close together

38
Q

How many plasma membranes does an oxygen molecule cross to pass from air space to bind a hemoglobin molecule in a red blood cell?

A

5

39
Q

label path of oxygen molecule

A

1) alveolar epithelial cell
2) basement membrane
3+4) capillary endothelial cell
5) RBC PM

40
Q

types of alveolar cells are ___

A

-lined by continuous monolayer type I alveolar cells (most of surface)
-type II alveolar cells (7%)

41
Q

Type II alveolar cells function

A

-produce surfactant (detergent: contains lipoproteins)- reduce surface tension of alveolar fluid
-progenitor cells in injury to type I cells, multiply + differentiate into type I cells

42
Q

surfactant prevents _____

A

alveolar walls from sticking together and collapsing

43
Q

Alveolar Macrophages function

A

They Ingest debris in alveoli which enter airways and become trapped in mucus sheets and carried toward pharynx by ciliary action

44
