ii. The inferior portion that sits on the diaphragm. iii. The right lung has is the superior tip of the lungs, while the Alveoli: lobes, while the left lung has, lobes. , along with arteries. These arteries branch into microscopic vessels that surround each air is the iv. The right and left bronchi enter each lung at the the known as sac. v. The ability of the lungs to stretch and recoil is due to their connective tissues. vi. The serous membrane that adheres to the surface of each lung is called vii. The serous membrane that lines the cavity that houses the lungs is called viii. The potential space between the two membranes that contains serous fluid that reduces friction when you breathe in and out and creates surface tension is called the i. Alveolar sacs are composed of epithelium. 1. What is the function of this tissue? ii. The air sacs also contain a thin layer of water-based interstitial fluid. What role do the alveoli play in breathing? iii. What prevents the alveoli from collapsing? iv. Premature babies have underdeveloped lungs. What lung cells are missing or inactive? What substance do these cells secrete? What role does this substance play in respiration? v. Name the cells that ward off microbes and debris that may be inhaled. Where are these cells located?
