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
Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?
No they absorb large amounts of oxygen into the blood.
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
What is the function of the gingiva?
Cover of alveolar bone
What is the function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs?
function of alveolar macrophagesThe function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs is to remove dust particles and other debris from alveolar spaces. -SheshiAveolar macrophages work to break up surfactanct in the aveoli which exists to decrease surface tension in the lungs. If there is a disorder where the macrophage does not function correctly, such as in PAP, the surfactant will not be broken up and decreased ventilation will occur resulting in less oxygen delivery.
What are the smallest divisions of the bronchial trees?
bronchiolesBronchiolesThese are called bronchioles.bronchiolesbronchiolesthis is the wrong answer, The bronchioles divide into smaller and smaller tubes, ending in microscopic branches that divide into Alveolar ducts, which end in several alveolar sacs.Think of it like a bunch of grapes, the aveolar ducts are the stem, the grape clusters represent an alveolar sac, and each grape represent an alveolus.Alveoli is where the oxygen has to reach to begin gas exchanges between air and blood.Bronchioles
