Q

Smaller elastic Cartilages in the Larynx

A

epiglottis, cuneiform, corniculate, and the superior arytenoid cartilages

24
Q

a flattened structure projecting from the
upper rim of the larynx, serves to prevent swallowed food or
fluid from entering that passage

25
Below the epiglottis and vestibule of the larynx, the mucosa projects bilaterally into the lumen with two pairs of folds separated by a narrow space or ventricle, these are the _______________________
The upper pair, the immovable vestibular folds The lower pair of folds, the vocal folds
26
The vestibular folds is also known as the ____________________
false vocal cords
27
Deep to the mucosa are large bundles of striated fibers comprising the _____________________ that allow each vocal fold to be moved.
vocalis muscle
28
A series with about a dozen C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage between the submucosa and adventitia reinforces the wall and keeps the tracheal lumen open
TRACHEA
29
The open ends of the cartilage rings are on the posterior surface, against the esophagus, and are bridged by a bundle of smooth muscle called the ______________________ and a sheet of fibroelastic tissue attached to the perichondrium
trachealis muscle
30
The left lung contains ____ number of secondary bronchi while the right lung have _____
2, 3
31
REGION of Vibrissae (stiff hairs) and moisture both filter and humidify air
Vestibules of nasal cavities
32
REGION of Rich vasculature and glands warm, humidify, and clean air
Most areas of nasal cavities
33
REGION where the function is to Solubilize and detect odorant molecules in air
Superior areas of nasal cavities
34
REGION to Conduct air to larynx; pharyngeal and palatine tonsils
Nasopharynx and posterior oropharynx
35
Site for phonation; epiglottis closes while swallowing
Larynx
36
REGION to Conduct air to primary bronchi entering lungs; some MALT
Trachea
37
Function is the Repeated branching; conduct air deeper into lungs
Bronchi
38
Function is to Conduct air; important in bronchoconstriction and bronchodilation
Bronchioles
39
Function is to Conduct air to respiratory portions of lungs; exocrine club cells with several protective and surfactant functions
Terminal bronchioles
40
Function is to Conduct air deeper, with some gas exchange, and protective and surfactant functions of club cells
Respiratory bronchioles
41
function is to Conduct air, with much gas exchange
Alveolar ducts and sacs
42
Function is to Sites of all gas exchange; surfactant from type II pneumocytes; dust cells
Alveoli
43
are the intralobular airways with diameters of 1 mm or less, formed after about the tenth generation of branching; they lack both mucosal glands and cartilage, although dense connective tissue is associated with the smooth muscle
Bronchioles
44
_______________ last parts of the air conducting system.
terminal bronchioles
45
The cuboidal epithelium of terminal bronchioles consists largely of ________________________, with nonciliated, dome-shaped apical ends containing secretory granules
club cells or bronchiolar exocrine cells
46
Distal ends of respiratory bronchioles branch into tubes called ________________________
alveolar ducts
47
are saclike evaginations, each about 200 μm in diameter, from the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar sacs
Alveoli
48
Between neighboring alveoli lie _________________ consisting of scattered fibroblasts and sparse extracellular matrix (ECM), notably elastic and reticular fibers, of connective tissue
thin interalveolar septa
49
Air in the alveoli is separated from capillary blood by three components collectively referred to as the _______________________________-
respiratory membrane or blood air barrier
50
are also extremely attenuated cells lining the alveolar surfaces.
Type I alveolar cells
51
cells that constitute the alveolar side of the blood-air barrier and make up about 95% of the alveolar lining;
Type II alveolar cells
52
are cuboidal cells bulging into the air space, interspersed among the type I alveolar cells, and bound to them with tight junctions and desmosomes
Type II alveolar cells
53
also called dust cells, are found in alveoli and in the interalveolar septum
Alveolar macrophages
54
is a bacteriostatic fluid, containing lysozyme and other protective agents produced by club cells, type II alveolar cells, and alveolar macrophages
