Q

How many generations does the human airway have?

A

23

20
Q

What generations of the human airway is the respiratory zone?

A

20-23

21
Q

The primary respiratory cell that the walls of an alveolus are primarily composed of:

A

Type 1 cells (simple squamous epithelium)

22
Q

Functional unit of the respiratory system

A

Alveoli

23
Q

What does a surfactant do?

A

Decrease surface tension and increase lung compliance

24
Q

Enumerate the components of surfactants

A
  1. Ca++
  2. Surfactant apoproteins
  3. DPPC (Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine)
25
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: The respiratory system brings the
needed oxygen into the body and eliminates carbon dioxide from the body. The blood transports these gases, carrying carbon dioxide to the tissues and oxygen to the lungs.

A

False.

O2 to the tissues, CO2 to the lungs

26
Q

The nose is an area of high infection due to high ___

A

Sebum

27
Q

Enumerate the 2 layers of fluid on top of the cilia

A
  1. Gel layer
  2. Sol layer
28
Q

When an individual has coughs / colds, the (1)___ layer is lessened and the (2)___ layer becomes more viscous

A
  1. Sol
  2. Gel
29
Q

Entrance of esophagus and airway

A

Epiglottis

30
Q

Structure found at the level of C6 that stabilizes the trachea at C6 area because the airways are so strong (strong suctioning) especially during labored breathing. Prevents the trachea from going in during inhalation and going out during exhalation.

A

Cricoid cartilage

31
Q

If any debris goes in the respiratory system, it will be more dislodged in which primary bronchus?

A

Right primary bronchus

32
Q

Assists in breathing movements by acting as a
lubricant

A

Pleural fluid

33
Q

Extremely thin, slit-like space between the
pleurae, separating them by a thin layer of pleural
fluid

A

Pleural cavity

34
Q

Prevents friction when the lungs expand and recoil because it rubs in the thoracic wall

A

Pericardial fluid

35
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: There is no cartilage in bronchioles

A

True

36

40
Q

Region containing alveoli, tiny thin-walled sacs where gas exchange occurs

A

respiratory zone of the lungs

41
Q

Sternum moves anteriorly and this increases the anterior-posterior diameter of lungs/chest cavity

A

Pump-handle effect

42
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: A decrease of 1mmhg intrapulmonary pressure is enough to take in 500ml of air.

A

True

43
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: With lower pressure and more airway resistance (e.g. acetylcholine constricts bronchioles), airflow to the lungs decreases

A

True

Airflow is directly related to pressure and inversely related to resistance.
