Where in the respiratory system does gas change occur?
in the alveoli
Where in the respiratory tract does gas exchange occur?
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
What is the function of the goblet cells and which type of membrane do they occur?
Function: To secrete mucus to coat and protect the epithelia.Membrane: Mucous Membrane
Where does gas exchange occur in the human respiratory system?
Gas exchange does not occur in the respiratory tract, it occurs in the alveoli.
Is pseudostratified epithelia commonly keratinized?
Pseudostratified epithelia are typically not keratinized; they are primarily found in the respiratory tract, where they are ciliated and contain mucus-secreting goblet cells. This type of epithelium functions to trap and move particulate matter out of the airways. However, there are some variations, such as in certain areas of the male reproductive system, where keratinization may occur, but it is not the norm for pseudostratified epithelium overall.
Where in the respiratory system does gas exhcange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
19 In what part of the respiratory system does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur?
Lungs
What is glandular mucous?
The cells that secrete mucus are the goblet cells. They are not considered glands and there are no glands that are mucous.
What are disease that occur in the respiratory system?
Asthma Bronchitis Lungs cancer! Emphysema , Cough etc.
What respiratory system changes occur when someone quits smoking?
