What else can I help you with?
Are these parts of the lower respiratory tract?
To determine if specific parts are part of the lower respiratory tract, you would typically consider structures such as the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. In contrast, the upper respiratory tract includes the nose, nasal cavity, and pharynx. If you provide specific parts, I can clarify if they belong to the lower respiratory tract.
What is the difference between an upper respiratory tract infection and a lower respiratory tract infection?
Sinuses are apart of your upper respitory tract, but the upper respitory tract also includes the nasal cavity, the pharynx and the larynx. A sinus infection is just an infection in your paranasal sinuses.
What would would a group of ciliated cells be called?
ciliated epithelial tissue
What are the organs of the upper respiratory tract?
The upper respiratory tract consists of all the parts above the larynx. This would include the throat, nasal cavity, sinus cavities, and the nose.
What if your epiglottis does not open?
Food would get into your trachea (air pipe).
Ciliated columnar epithelium destroyed by disease would cause a malfunction in which of the systems?
The respiratory system would be affected if ciliated columnar epithelium were destroyed by disease. This type of epithelium lines the respiratory tract and is responsible for moving mucus and foreign particles out of the airways. Damage to this tissue can impair the clearance of debris and increase the risk of respiratory infections.
Where in the human body would you find pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium can be found in the respiratory tract, specifically in the lining of the trachea and bronchi.
Why is the inside of the female reproductive tract moist?
All openings of the body that led to the outside are moist with mucus. This includes the mouth and the rest of the digestive tract, the respiratory tract (including the nasal passages), the urinary tract and the reproductive tract. This mucus keeps the tracts from drying out. If they would dry out, microbes could get into the body and cause an infection. The mucus also produces easy passage of products into and out of them.

Name three places on your body where you would find epithelial tissues?
The three places to find epithelial tissue in your body would be in your skin, spinalcord, and your brain.
What difficulty would probably arise if a person were born without an epiglottis?
The new born baby will get choked of the first feeding only. The milk will go the respiratory tract!
Why do cilia exist in the lining of the respiratory tract?
To catch debris that would otherwise settle in your lungs, the cillia catch debris on inhale, and allow it to exit via exhale.
