What would a glandular structure that has three ducts and flasklike sacs be termed?
This is a multicellular exocrine gland. It is also a compound alveolar (or ascinar) type.
The bronchi go directly into the alveoli.?
The passage way is Bronchi to Bronchioles then alveoli to alveolar ducts and exchange of gasses occurs in alveoli. So Answer is No..bronchi not goes directly to alveoli.
Can you absorb cocaine through the eye ducts?
I'm not exactly sure but I do know that cocaine in rare cases is still used in eye surgery today as a topical anesthetic so I don't see why not.
What is the srtucture between an alveoli and bronchiole?
Air enters the body through the nostrils or the mouth, passing down the throat to the larynx, and then to the trachea. The trachea divides into two branches in the chest cavity, the right and left bronchi that enter the lungs. The branches of the bronchi narrow down to tubes called bronchioles of less than 1 mm diameter, and these sub-divide into even narrower tubes called alveolar ducts. Each alveolar duct ends in a grapelike cluster of thin-walled sacs, called alveoli. From 300 million to 400 million alveoli are contained in each lung.
The lacrimal ducts are located in the?
where are the lacrimal ducts are located in
What is the structure of alveolar ducts?
it dissolves oxygen in the fluid and from there it can diffuse to the alveolar cells.It goes right back to evolution where single cells have to absorb oxygen from water.All of our cells systems ae aquatic.
What part of the lower respirtory tract is made up of tiny air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
Alveolar ducts and tracts are the site of gas exchange in the lungs.
Which part of the respiratory system consists of air sacs with capillaries?
That sounds like a general description of the LUNGS.The lungs are loaded with pulmonary alveoli: small outpouchings along the walls of the alveolar sacs and alveolar ducts; through them, gas exchange takes place between alveolar gas and pulmonary capillary blood.
What is a conducting structure in the Lungs?
Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli.
Alveolar ducts alveolar sacs terminal bronchioles respiratory bronchioles bronchi bronchioles What is the order from largest to smallest?
The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple). From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).
What are the trachea bronchi bronchioles and alveolar ducts related to each other?
they are relate
What is the name of the tiny airways inside the lungs that connect to the alveoli?
alveolar ducts
What Respiratory tubes are smaller connect the bronchi to the alveolar ducts and contain no cartilage?
bronchioles
What respiratory tubes are smaller connect the bronchi to the alveolar ducts and contains no cartilage?
bronchioles
Does the diffusion of respiratory gases take place at the membranes between the alveolar ducts and lymphatic capillaries?
no
The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes?
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
Function of alveolar ducts?
Trap air in lungs (act as air pockets 4 gaseous exchange).
