Q

Trachea function

A

Transports air from the outside to the lungs

24
Q

C shaped rings function

A

Allows for a long muscle to extend down the back of the trachea

25
Long muscle that extends from C-shaped rings
Trachealis muscle
26
Verticals bands of connective tissue that joins the C rings together
Annular ligaments
27
Where is the tube stays a tube until it divides into the right and left primary bronchi
Trachea
28
Area where the trachea divides
Carina/tracheal bifurcation
29
Trachea is lined with what type of cells
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
30
Mucus function in the trachea
Moisten and protect airways
31
The left primary bronchus will divide into how many
2 secondary bronchi
32
The right primary bronchus will divide into how many
3 secondary bronchi
33
Which lung does not have a lot of lobes due to the location of the heart
The left lung
34
Which species of animals will have an accessory bronchus on their right lung
Ruminants and pigs
35
The bronchi contains rings of what cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
36
Left Long contains how many lobes and an additional anatomy
2 lobes, cardiac notch
37
Right lung contains how many lobes except for ruminants and pigs
3 lobes
38
Where is the area where the primary bronchi and blood vessels enter each lung
Pulmonary hilum
39
Delicate membrane that covers the surface of each lung
Visceral pleura
40
Outer membrane that covers the lung and constitutes the inner lining of the thoracic cavity
Parietal pleura
41
What fluid filled space is between two pleura
Pleural cavity
42
Bronchioles function
Delivers air into the alveoli
43
Bronchioles anatomy that helps them constrict and relax
Thin lining and mostly smooth muscle
44
How thick are bronchioles
1 mm
45
Bronchioles will branch into a ___ or a ___
Terminal bronchiole or a respiratory bronchiole
46
Terminal bronchiole has no what
Gas exchange
47
Terminal bronchiole nickname
Dead space
48
Respiratory bronchiole function
Terminates in alveoli where gas exchange happens
49
Where are alveoli located
In alveolar sacs
50
Alveoli is the site of
Gas exchange
51
Alveoli are lined with what tissue
Simple squamous epithelium
52
Why does alveoli need to be thin
For oxygen and carbon dioxide to move across the membrane
53
Two types of dead space
Anatomic dead space, physiological dead space
54
Anatomic dead space definition
Refers to any areas of the respiratory system where gas exchange does not take place
55
Physiological dead space definition
Refers to any areas of the respiratory system that should be involved in gas exchange but no longer are (dead alveoli)
