What is the thinnest wall of the heart?
the thinnest wall of the heart is the one supplying heart to the lungs ie : the left side. the thinnest wall of the heart is the one supplying heart to the lungs ie : the left side.
What cavity contains the lungs and what structure divides it from the abdominal cavity?
The lungs and heart are found in the thoracic cavity and that cavity is superior to the diaphragm.
What epithelial type forms the walls of the air sacs of the lungs?
simple squamous epithelium
Where is simple epithelium found in the body?
Simple epithelium is found in the lining of the lungs, in capillary walls, and in blood vessels.
Which structure protects the lungs?
the rib cage
Thinnest portion of wall between to atria?
The fossa ovalis is the thinnest part which used to be open in a fetus to bypass blood traveling to the lungs as they weren't breathing yet.
Where is ciliated columnar epithelium found?
Ciliated epithelium is located in the lining of most body cavities. Some of the cavities that have ciliated epithelium are the lungs, trachea, and nose. Ciliated epithelium serves to keep dust and debris out of the lungs and control the flow of mucus.
What Type of epithelial in lungs?
The ciliated columnar epithelium lines the trachea(windpipe) and bronchi(lungs). The squamous epithelium forms the delicate lining of cavities(nose and alveoli etc.)
What are facts about epithelium?
It has cilia (hairs) that trap dust and woft it away from your lungs.
What type of tissue ensures that the oxygen exchange in the lungs?
simple squamous epithelium
What are facts about Ciliated epithelium?
It is Epithelium composed of cells bearing cilia on their free surfaces.
What tissue become lungs?
The lungs tissues are made up mainly of squamous epithelial tissue (called alveolar epithelium in the lungs). This type of tissue serves a critical function within the lungs because it allows the transfer and exchange of gases with little or no resistance. The advantages are a short distance between the Oxygen in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.The lungs also contain ciliated epithelium. A function of ciliated epithelium is stimulation of goblet cells to produce a mucous-like substance that not only lubricates but also traps pathogens and particles in the bronchi.
