Mucous membranes (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelia) line most upper respiratory tract structures. Although these membranes filter the air by trapping pathogens in mucus, they are very delicate. Pieces of food passing through the oropharynx and laryngopharynx could damage this type of epithelium. Predict which type of epithelium protects the lining of the oropharynx and laryngopharynx.
What type of epithelium lines the alveoli? simple columnar simple squamous 0 0 0 0 pseudostratified stratified squamous
What causes air to enter human lungs? The contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the lungs, decreasing the pressure relative to the air outside the body. Smooth muscle in the trachea guides the flow of air into the lungs. Air diffuses into the lungs due to the decreased O2 content relative to the air outside our body. The cilia in the trachea guide the flow of air into the lungs. The decreased concentration of O2 in the lungs decreases the density of that air and denser air outside the body "sinks" into the lungs.
Where are exchange epithelial cells found? What did the alveoli look like on the slide, and why is their structure important? Do these cells have tight junctions? Explain why.
Which one of the following is NOT a function of the respiratory system? O A. Speech and sound generation O B. Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood O C. Protection against inhaled microorganisms O D. Filters inhaled particulate matter E. Changes blood pH by changing oxygen levels
The concentration of O2 in the medium when it first reaches the respiratory surface is ______. higher in a respiratory system using unidirectional flow than one using bidirectional flow higher in a respiratory system using bidirectional flow than one using unidirectional flow equal to that of the air or water surrounding the animal in both unidirectional flow and bidirectional flow
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 В The Alveoli The pleura D Type I cells
Work in a mine is known to cause inhalation of large amounts of coal dust. Inhaled coal dust can be detected in the following pulmonary cells: Capillary endothelial cells Alveolar Macrophages Respiratory epithelial cells Secretory epithelial cells O Pericapillary cells
