Microscopic Flashcards
(12 cards)
Conducting Zone
provides conduit for air to reach gas exchange sites
warms air
Respiratory Zone
actual site for gas exchange
Respirary bronchioles, avleolar ducts, alveoi
Features of the Conducting Zone
- Supports Cartilage
- Epitehlium changes
- Smoth mm increases
Do bronchioles have cartilage?
no-contain elastic fibres
Trachea- what kind of epitehlium
P.C.C
Terminla Bronchioles- twhat kind of epithelium
Cubodial
Sympathetic Control of the Bronchioles
b2 adrengic-Bronchodialtion
Parasympthatic Control-
M3 Muscraninc Receptors-Bronchoconstrction
Why is the Respiratory membrane thin?
rapid diffusion exchange of gases
Type 1 Alveolar Cells-
Squamous
Type 2-Alveolar
Cuboidal Epithelim
Scetes sufracttant which reduces the surface tsnion of alveor fluid
* antimicrbioal proteins
Define Respiration and 4 aspects of it
procress involved supplying the body with o2 and DISPOSE of carbon dixoide
* Pulomary Ventilation
* External Respiration
* Gas Transport
* Cellular Respiration
