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.

The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes?
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
The smallest divisions of the bronchial tree are what?
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
The smallest of the air distribution tubes in the respiratory tract are the?
—Bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli - looks like an upside down tree.◦Trachea is the main trunk that divides into◦Right bronchus and left bronchus. As the bronchi enter the lungs they divide into smaller and smaller branches.◦The smallest tubes whose walls are made only of smooth muscle are called bronchioles.◦Bronchioles further divide into microscopic tubes called alveolar ducts which resemble the main stem of a bunch of grapes.◦Alveolar ducts end in several alveolar sacs arranged like a clusters of grapes.◦The walls of the alveolar sacs are made up of numerous alveoli each of which resembles a single grape.
Is Alveolar recoil lead to a decrease in intr-alveolar pressure?
NO
What type of gland has ducts?
Exocrine glands have ducts. Endocrine glands do not have ducts.
What is a conducting structure in the Lungs?
Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli.
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.
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
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 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).
