Reinforcement of the trachea with cartilaginous rings prevent its collapse during?
...pressure changes that occur during breathing.
What is the function of the cartilage rings of the trachea?
protect trachea from external shock and also prevent it of collapsing The open portion of the C-shaped rings is posterior (toward the back). The back of the trachea has a tough but flexible membrane covering the spaces. This permits food boluses (big wads of food) to pass through the esophagus, which is behind the trachea. Even a large chunk of food in the expandable esophagus will not completely press the trachea closed.
Why are the cartilages forming the trachea c-shaped?
The cartilage rings in the trachea need to be C shaped so large masses of food can pass through the esophagus during swallowing and large masses of air can pass through the trachea.To allow the oesophagus to expand so that large pieces of food are able to move down into the stomach without getting stuck and tearing the walls of the oesophagus.
What does an organism take from the environment during aerobic respiration?
An organism takes in oxygen during aerobic respiration.
What two substances are given off during respiration and used again during photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen are used up during respiration.
Reinforcement of the trachea with cartilaginous rings prevent its collapse during?
...pressure changes that occur during breathing.
The surface tension exerted by water in the alveoli prevent collapse of the alveoli during exhalation?
False
What is the function of surfactant?
prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration
Why is the windpipe in the lungs surrounded by a tough cartilage?
The trachea and major bronchi contain cartilaginous rings. These rings function to prevent collapse of the structure during respiration. During inspiration, a negative pressure force is created within the thoracic cavity by the flattening of the diaphragm and action of the intercostal muscles to raise the ribs. If the trachea were not internally supported, the negative pressure would result in its collapse, preventing air movement and gas exchange. Tracheomalacia or laryngomalacia is a congenital disorder seen in young children in which the tracheal rings are incomplete or weak and this exact scenario occurs - during inspiration, the trachea collapses and the child cannot breathe and develops respiratory distress.
Why is it that the dominant hand is on top of the non dominant hand during CPR?
To spread the force and attempt to prevent damage to ribs or cartilage.
What is the function of the cartilage in the trachea and bronchi?
The cartilage rings in the trachea prevent the trachea from collapsing during absence of air and also protect it.These cartilagenous ring are C shaped and are meant for particular purposes such as:they give support and strength to the tracheathey prevent from collapsing and breakingalso cartilage contain much collagen fibres which are stress resistantthey don't allow the trachea to shrink
Why are the walls of the windpipe made of stiff material?
So it doesn't collapse when you breathe. =]

What gas is created during respiration?
Carbon dioxide is created during respiration.
How can modern building codes help prevent death during an earthquake?
Structure built to poor standards or no standards are likely to collapse during an earthquake, often killing or injuring people inside. Buildings constructed to modern codes, especially codes that consider earthquakes, are far less likely to collapse.
What other energy is produced during respiration?
What other energy made during respiration
