Is the alveoli the smallest structure of the respiratory system?
no
What is the name of the structure identified by the letter a?
Alveoli
What structure in the lungs contains the thinnest epithelium?
The structure in the lungs that contains the thinnest epithelium is the alveoli. Alveoli are air sacs where the exchange of gases takes place.
Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in what structure?
alveoli
Which structure in the respiratory zone has the thinnest wall?
ALVEOLI
What structure is at the end of the smallest tubes in lungs?
alveoli
Which structure in the human body is similar in function to leaves?
the alveoli
How does the structure of the alveoli help do it jobs?
one feature is that an alveoli has a wide surface area. If you know any other features then add them!
Which respiratory network reroutes and slows incoming airflow so it can mingle with the lungs residual gases?
The respiratory network responsible for rerouting and slowing incoming airflow is primarily located in the lungs and involves the action of the bronchi and bronchioles. This network helps to redistribute airflow, allowing it to mix more thoroughly with the residual gases in the alveoli. This process enhances gas exchange efficiency by maximizing contact between the fresh air and the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli. Additionally, the smooth muscle in the airways can constrict or dilate to regulate airflow as needed.
What is the purpose of the lever on the side of the fireplace?
The lever on the side of the fireplace controls the damper, which regulates the airflow and heat output of the fire.
Which structure branches further into alveoli?
the bronchiole
Sequence of airflow into the lower respiratory system?
pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
