You are a little molecule of oxygen, floating in the air. Suddenly you feel a whoosh, and you are in a dark tube with little hairs tickling you. Is this that thing called the nose? Trace your journey from there to the alveoli of the lung; you will recognize it when you get there. It looks like a bunch of grapes. Name the structures along the way.
What is the purpose of the nasal passage?
The nasal passage warms or cools air to body temperature and filters air
The nasal passage allows transfer of oxygen to the nose and face
The nasal passage filters air
The nasal passage is largely vestigial in humans

- As a result of an auto accident, a fractured rib completely punctures the right chest wall of a 34-year-old male resulting in a right-sided pneumothorax. The alveoli in the right chest will collapse because of a/an :Decrease in intra-tracheal pressure, becoming more negativeIncrease in trans-chest wall pressure, becoming more negativeDecrease in intrapleural pressure , becoming less negativeIncrease in airway pressure, becoming more positive Increase in alveolar pressure, becoming more negativearrow_forwardWhat is the importance of surfactant in the lungs? it reduces the surface tension of water in the alveoli, making expiration easier it reduces the surface tension of water in the alveoli, making inspiration easier it increases the solubility of O2, making alveolar exchange more efficient it keeps the surface of the alveoli clear of debrisarrow_forwardHow does smoking cigarettes affect the anatomy of the lungs? It disrupts mucociliary and macrophage activity. It increases the body's immune response to pathogens. O It increases the surface area available for gas exchange. It causes increased permeability of the alveolar tissue.arrow_forward
- What helps oxygen to be absorbed rapidly into the blood in the lungs? The concentration of oxygen in the blood is higher than in the alveoli. O Alveoli have thick walls and a large surface area Air breathed in has less oxygen than air breathed out. Alveoli have thin walls and a large surface area.arrow_forwardWhich of the following forms the 'respiratory membrane' for the fetus (mark all that apply) 1. maternal - simple squamous epithelium (placenta) 2. fetus - simple squamous epithelium (lung) 3. fetus - simple squamous epithelium (placenta) 4. fetus - loose irregular connective tissue (placenta) 5. maternal - simple squamous epithelium (lungs) Choose from the following: (A) 1, 3, and 4 (B) 1, 3, 4, and 5 (C) 2, 3 and 4 (D) 3 and 4 (E) 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5arrow_forwardSmall spaces such as bronchioles and alveoli have a tendency to collapse due to surface tension, making it difficult to breathe. Which of the following statements is not true? This tendency is greater in premature newborn babies All of the other choices are true Surfactant is produced by Type 1 (squamous) alveolar cells This tendency to collapse is reduced by surfactant Which of these factors in active tissue does not lead to greater release of O₂ from hemoglobin? elevated temperature O increased acidity O All of the other choices lead to increased release of oxygen elevated carbon dioxidearrow_forward

These membranes serve as the glue between the lungs and the thoracic cavity. Which of the following statements is correct about these structures? The visceral pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together The parietal pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the visceral pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the visceral pleura The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the parietal pleuraarrow_forwardSketch a picture of the right and left lungs in anterior view, showing all the fissures and lung lobes, as well as the cardiac notch.arrow_forward
