Question
Chapter 22, Problem 12RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The functional reason behind the opposite orientation of cilia below and above the larynx.
Introduction:
The upper and lower respiratory passages have cilia that help in clearing the passages of dust, pollen, and other particles after they are trapped in a viscous layer of mucus. The location of the structure in the respiratory passage determines whether the cilia will move in an upward or downward direction.

- John, a healthy twenty-eight year old electrical engineer, was driving home from work one evening when he experienced sudden stabbing pain in his right pectoral and right lateral axillary regions. He began to feel out of breath and both his respiratory rate and heart rate increased dramatically. As luck would have it, John passed a hospital each day on his way home and was able to get himself to the hospital’s emergency room. The emergency room physician listened to John’s breathing with a stethoscope and requested blood gas analysis and a chest x-ray. John answered a few of the doctor’s questions. The doctor noted that John had no history of respiratory problems but was a heavy smoker. After viewing the chest radiograph, the doctor informed John that he had experienced a spontaneous pneumothorax, or what is commonly called a collapsed lung. The doctor explained that a hole had opened in John’s right lung and that this hole had allowed air to leak into the cavity surrounding the lung.…arrow_forwardJim is working at a construction site where he inhales dust and smoke daily.

The rescuer takes a deep breath, blows air into the patient’smouth, and then lets air flow out. The process is repeated. Explain thefollowing: (1) Why do the patient’s lungs expand?
