Chapter 22.1, Problem 6BYGO
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The human respiratory system has a group of organs that are involved in exchanges of the gases. The lungs are the principal organs of respiration. It is a pair of conical shaped organs that are present in the thorax. There is a right and a left lung present in humans. The lungs form a part of the lower respiratory tract and branches from the trachea. The main functions of the lungs are exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood and protects against any infection produced through air.

Pleural membranes surround the lungs. 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 pleura
The superficial layer of the pleura is calledthe pleura.
The flow rule states that (substances) gases or liquids flow from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. This can be applied to any section of the respiratory tract. Use this information to explain why the Heimlich maneuver (a sharp compression of the abdominal cavity just below the diaphragm) can dislodge food or other objects lodged in the trachea of a choking person.
