Scenario: A patient arrives in the emergency room after struggling to breathe and is subsequently diagnosed with asthma. In this disease state the patient's airways can significantly decrease in radius. They noted that they were exercising when the episode occurred. Question stem: Based on your knowledge of lung anatomy, which of the following regions contains smooth muscle that could contract and decrease airway radius? Answers A -D A Bronchioles The Alveoli C The pleura Type I cells

The anatomy of bird lungs is very different to that of mammals. Birds have unidirectional flow of air through the bronchi. Similar to humans, birds have a two-step breathing (in through the beak and then out through the beak). 3 marks Unsorted B Trachea Human alveoli A D B For each position in the diagram, sort them into the appropriate group.

Tuberculosis is a disease that has become endemic in the developing world. It is a bacterial infection of end-conductive passages and respiratory passages of the lung. One of the complications of tuberculosis, even if treated, is pneumothorax. Why would pneumothorax result from an infection of the respiratory passages? How would the infection complicate the treatment of pneumothorax?

For each of the following statements, please apply your knowledge regarding anatomy of the upper respiratory tract by indicating which of the following are TRUE: 42. Some people have a quiet voice because their vocal cords are thin and short compared to others (with a loud voice), and therefore less able to vibrate and create loud sounds. F 43. Children typically have higher pitched voices than adults because their vocal cords are physically shorter and thinner, and they have smaller sinuses within in the skull. T 44. Vocal and vestibular folds can adduct during an effort closure, facilitating an increase in thoracic pressure (i.e. during Valsalva maneuver) T
