RESPIRATORY Flashcards
Increases as a proportion of
the respiratory tract wall from trachea to alveoli
elastic
Air moving rapidly across the vocal cords and causing them to
vibrate and produce sound is contacting what type of epithelium
stratified squamous
distinguishes between terminal and respiratory bronchioles
alveoli
Distinguishes a bronchus within a
lung from the primary bronchi
Irregular plates of cartilage
involved in protection of the respiratory tract is
absent from the digestive tract
cilia
The pulmonary (functional) and bronchial (nutritive) arterial systems enter the lungs separately at the hilus but anastomose into a single system at which level
respiratory bronchioles
Characteristics of olfactory epithelium
It has modified cilia, which act as receptors for odor.
They are part of the conducting portion of
the respiratory system
terminal bronchioles
A thick basement membrane underlying
its epithelium
trachea
Ciliated cells comprise a portion of their
lining epithelium
respiratory bronchioles
It is associated with difficulty expiring air
from the lung
asthma or hay fever ?
asthma
They secrete elastase
alveolar macrophage
May be treated with anti-elastase (a i-antitrypsin
Emphysema
Is caused by inadequate amounts of pulmonary surfactant
Hyaline membrane disease
Is associated with a “barrel chest”
emphysema
