Area where the trachea divides

A

Carina/tracheal bifurcation

29
Q

Trachea is lined with what type of cells

A

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

30
Q

Mucus function in the trachea

A

Moisten and protect airways

31
Q

The left primary bronchus will divide into how many

A

2 secondary bronchi

32
Q

The right primary bronchus will divide into how many

A

3 secondary bronchi

33
Q

Which lung does not have a lot of lobes due to the location of the heart

A

The left lung

34
Q

Which species of animals will have an accessory bronchus on their right lung

A

Ruminants and pigs

35
Q

The bronchi contains rings of what cartilage

A

Hyaline cartilage

36
Q

Left Long contains how many lobes and an additional anatomy

A

2 lobes, cardiac notch

37
Q

Right lung contains how many lobes except for ruminants and pigs

A

3 lobes

38
Q

Where is the area where the primary bronchi and blood vessels enter each lung

A

Pulmonary hilum

39
Q

Delicate membrane that covers the surface of each lung

A

Visceral pleura

40
Q

Outer membrane that covers the lung and constitutes the inner lining of the thoracic cavity

A

Parietal pleura

41
Q

What fluid filled space is between two pleura

A

Pleural cavity

42
Q

Bronchioles function

A

Delivers air into the alveoli

43
Q

Bronchioles anatomy that helps them constrict and relax

A

Thin lining and mostly smooth muscle

44
Q

How thick are bronchioles

A

1 mm

45
Q

Bronchioles will branch into a ___ or a ___

A

Terminal bronchiole or a respiratory bronchiole

46
Q

Terminal bronchiole has no what

A

Gas exchange

47
Q

Terminal bronchiole nickname

A

Dead space

48
Q

Respiratory bronchiole function

A

Terminates in alveoli where gas exchange happens

49
Q

Where are alveoli located

A

In alveolar sacs

50
Q

Alveoli is the site of

A

Gas exchange

51
Q

Alveoli are lined with what tissue

A

Simple squamous epithelium

52
Q

Why does alveoli need to be thin

A

For oxygen and carbon dioxide to move across the membrane

53
Q

Two types of dead space

A

Anatomic dead space, physiological dead space

54
Q

Anatomic dead space definition

A

Refers to any areas of the respiratory system where gas exchange does not take place

55
Q

Physiological dead space definition

A

Refers to any areas of the respiratory system that should be involved in gas exchange but no longer are (dead alveoli)
