What is the difference between alveolus of the lung and the bronchus of the lung?
The bronchus of a lung is the tubes leading up to the alveolus of the lung. The alveolus of a lung is the small air sacs at the end of the bronchi (bronchus). The alveoli is where the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
What is the route of air from the external nares to alveolus?
Nostrils → Nasal Cavity → Pharynx → Larynx → Trachea → Main Bronchus → Lobar Bronchiole → Segmental Bronchus → Bronchiole → Terminal Bronchiole → Respiratory Bronchiole → Alveolar Duct → Atrium → Alveolus
When you exhale air flows through the respiratory structures in which sequence?
Multiple Choice: A. Alveolus, Bronchiole, Bronchus, Larynx, Trachea, Pharynx, nasal Cavity B. Alveolus, Trachea, Bronchus, Bronchiole, Larynx, Pharynx, Nasal Cavity C. Alveolus, Bronchus, Bronchiole, Trachea, Larynx, Pharynx, Nasal Cavity D. Alveolus, Bronchiole, Bronchus, Trachea, Larynx, Pharynx, Nasal Cavity The correct sequence is Letter D. For all of you who are looking up this question because your anatomy teacher using the Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology assigned the stupid Multiple Choice to you, you are so very welcome.
Trace a molecule of oxygen from the atmosphere through the external respiratory system?
external nares->nasal cavity->nasal conhae->nasopharnx->oropharnx-> laryngopharnx->trachea->primary bronchus->secondary bronchus-> tertiary bonchus->terinal bronchiole->respiratory bronchiles->alveolar duct-> alveolus
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
What is the journey of an oxygen molecule through the respiratory system?
Nose>>>pharynx>>>larynx >>>trachea >>>bronchus >>>bronchiole >>>alveolus
What is the singular to Bronchus?
The noun bronchus is the singular form of bronchi.
What are the small sacs at the end of the bronchi-oles where gas exchanged occurs called?
In the pulmonary system, the Alveoli are the small sacs at the end of the bronchioles which are connected to the bronchus. It is within these sacs that gas exchange occurs.
What part of the respiratory system is responsible for filtering the air as you breathe?
The respiratory system does not contain any structure that filters air. The trachea and bronchus are lined with a mucous membrane that helps trap debris and carry it out of the body, but this is not a filtration system.
Trace the flow of air from nares to alveoli?
1. External Nares 2. Vestibule 3. Internal Nares 4. Nasopharynx 5. Oropharynx 6. Laryngopharynx 7. Larynx 8. Trachea 9. Primary Bronchus 10.Secondary Bronchus 11.Tertiary Bronchus 12.Bronchioles 13.Terminal Bronchiole 14.Respiratory Bronchiole 15.Alveolar Duct 16.Alveolar Sac 17.Alveolus
What is gas exchange in the lungs?
The process in which oxygen enters the bloodstream through the alveolus and carbon dioxide exits the bloodstream also through the same alveolus to be exhaled.
What is the adjective for alveolus?
The adjective for alveolus (singular) or alveoli (plural) is alveolar.
