A respiratory membrane should be?
A respiratory membrane should be healthy.
What is the thickness of the respiratory membrane?
The average thickness of respiratory membrane is 0.2 Mm
What is the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
What respiratory membrane consists primarily of what?
thickeness of the membrane of respitory does it have a basement
What membrane is the extremely thin barrier between the alveoli and the capillaries?
respiratory membrane
What happens at the respiratory membrane?
gas exchange
Respiratory in a newborn?
hyaline membrane disease
What is the Respiratory passages membrane is lined with?
cilia
What happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
What path does air take from the glottis to the respiratory membrane?
larynx, trachea, pimary bronchus, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolar sac, alveolus and respiratory membrane
Gases diffuse most efficiently across a respiratory membrane if the membrane is?
Thick and moist
Are respiratory enzyme located in mitocondrial membrane?
Yes
