Question 7

What are the two main types of epithelia that lines the respiratory tract?

Answer 7

respiratory epithelium and stratified squamous epithelium

Question 8

What are the vestibules

Answer 8

contains hair follicles called vibrissae which help to filter incoming air (clean)

Question 9

What does the upper respiratory tract consist of

Answer 9

Nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, Pharynx

Question 10

What are the turbinates and how many are there

Answer 10

• Turbinates swirl the incoming air and small airborne particles are trapped in mucosa, therefore more effective for cleaning, warming, humidify air
• three- inferior (lower), middle, superior (higher)

• both food and air pass
  Oral cavity

Question 16

Langopharynx

Answer 16

• Stratified squamous

both food and air

Question 17

the lower respiratory tract includes

Answer 17
