Respiratory Flashcards
Respiratory:
conducting zone
Large airway and short airway
Respiratory:
conducting zone: large airway
Nose, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi
Respiratory:
conducting zone: small airway
bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles
Respiratory:
conducting zone: function
warm, humidifies and filters air
but does not participate in gas exchange
(anatomic dead space)
Respiratory:
conducting zone:
extending to end of bronchi
Cartilage and goblet cells
Respiratory:
conducting zone:
extending to end of terminal bronchioles
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells (beats mucus up)
Smooth muscle of the airway (sparse beyond this point)
Respiratory:
respiratory zone consists of
Lung parenchyma: gas exchange via
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
Respiratory:
respiratory zone:
respiratory bronchioles consists of
Mostly cuboidal cells then simple squamous up to alveoli.
No cilia
