Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit):
Pre-Lab Questions
1. Name two functions of the nasal cavity mucosa.
Warms and moistens air
2. Why is the trachea reinforced with cartilaginous rings?
To prevent a collapse and to keep the air passageway open
3. Describe the path a molecule of oxygen takes to get to body tissue, starting with the nares.
Pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, left ventricle, aorta, artery,
arterioles, and capillaries.
4. What is asthma?
Due to the spasms in the bronchi, asthma is a respiratory condition that makes it difficult
for a person with it to breath.
