Warms/moistens air. ||\\//||

or mucus cells. Exchanges gas. Simple squamous found.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Bronchioles - correct answer✔✔Air flow regulator. Have smooth muscle in their walls
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Alveoli - correct answer✔✔Little cavity, and the primary site of gas exchange. Lined with
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




pneumocyte cells (simple squamous) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Where does the actual gas exchange take place? - correct answer✔✔Alveoli
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




What part of the tract is involved in regulating airflow of the tract? - correct
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




answer✔✔bronchioles



What is asthma? - correct answer✔✔The bronchiole smooth muscle is contracting when it

shouldn't



What effect does parasympathetic nervous system have on the bronchioles? - correct
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




answer✔✔The stimulate causes bronchoconstriction. Bronchioles contracted less air into the ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




lungs

, What effect does sympathetic nervous system have on the bronchioles? - correct
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




answer✔✔The stimulation causes bronchodilation. Bronchioles dilated allow more air into ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




lungs



What is the function of the type I alveolar cell/pneumocyte? - correct answer✔✔Short

diffusional distance, gas exchange. Has simple squamous epithelium and is 90% of alveolar
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




What is Boyle's Law and what does it have to do with the lungs? - correct answer✔✔If the
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




volume of a container holding gas change, the pressure pf the gas will change in an inverse

diaphragm moves up ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Why do the lungs remain inflated in the pleural cavity? - correct answer✔✔Pressure in the
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




pleural cavity is lower than pressure on the lungs, which keeps the lungs from collapsing
