What else can I help you with?
Are the lungs composed of smooth muscle?
No, the lungs are not composed of smooth muscle. They are made up of a spongy tissue called lung parenchyma, which includes air sacs and blood vessels. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of the airways leading to the lungs, called bronchioles.
What are the structures in the conducting zone of the respiratory system?
Conducting is made up of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. The physical structure that "conducts" air and allows it to pass in and out of the lungs. Respiratory is made up of alveoli, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles. This is where the real respiration and gas exchange takes place.
Both plants and fungi have cell walls made up of cellulose True or False?
False, there are some fungi-like organisms with cellulose, but true fungi do not have cellulose in the cell walls.
What are cell walls made up of?
If you are referring to plant cell walls, then they are made up of primarily cellulose and carbohydrates. Even though carbohydrates do make up cell walls in plants, cellulose (a polymer of glucose {consists of many glucose molecules}) is the primary structural component of a plant cell wall.
How do the cell walls of fungi differ from the cell walls of plants?
Fungal cell walls are primarily made of chitin, while plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose. Fungal cell walls do not contain lignin, which is found in plant cell walls and provides rigidity. Additionally, fungal cell walls do not have chloroplasts like plant cell walls do.
Which type of bronchioles don't have cartilage?
Bronchioles don't have cartilage because they need to be able to constrict and dilate
How does aging affect the bronchioles?
walls become narrower
What is bronchioles filled with?
Bronchioles are approximately 1mm or less in diameter and their walls consist of ciliated cuboidal epithelium and a layer of smooth muscle.
The diameter of bronchioles can change because their walls contain?
Smooth Muscle tissue relaxation and contraction is responsible for dilation and constrictions of the bronchioles, respectively.
What is an example of a smooth involuntary muscle?
ones that line the walls of the trachea and bronchioles
What is the medical term meaning contraction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the bronchi and bronchioles that tighten and squeeze the airway shut?
Bronchoconstriction or bronchospasm is the medical term that refers to the contraction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the bronchi and bronchioles that tighten and squeeze the airway shut.
Which source provides moisture to the terminal bronchioles?
The moisture in the terminal bronchioles is provided by the mucous glands and goblet cells present in the bronchial walls. These cells secrete mucus, which helps to keep the airways moist and trap inhaled particles for removal by the cilia lining the bronchioles.
Are the lungs composed of smooth muscle?
No, the lungs are not composed of smooth muscle. They are made up of a spongy tissue called lung parenchyma, which includes air sacs and blood vessels. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of the airways leading to the lungs, called bronchioles.
Fungi cell walls are made up of what?
They are made up of mostly Chitin.
What are the structures in the conducting zone of the respiratory system?
Conducting is made up of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. The physical structure that "conducts" air and allows it to pass in and out of the lungs. Respiratory is made up of alveoli, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles. This is where the real respiration and gas exchange takes place.
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.
Both plants and fungi have cell walls made up of cellulose True or False?
False, there are some fungi-like organisms with cellulose, but true fungi do not have cellulose in the cell walls.
