What else can I help you with?
How do you describe trachea?
The trachea is the formal name of what is commonly called the windpipe. It functions as the pathway through which air is inhaled and exhaled to and from the lungs.
What is the name of the gas you inhaled?
air, which is a mix of several gasses
How is the trachea adapted for gas exchange in lungs?
It isnt. There is no gas exchange in the trachea this takes place at the alveoli.
What is the purpose of the mucous membrane and cilia in the trachea?
Mucous membranes and cilia in the trachea trap and eliminate particulate matter from inhaled air. The membranes also warm and moisten incoming air.
First place air goes after it is inhaled?
After being inhaled, air first passes through the trachea (windpipe) and then into the bronchial tubes, which branch out into smaller airways called bronchioles. Finally, the air reaches the alveoli in the lungs, where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
Describe the path of air as it inhaled into the human respiratory system?
Air is inhaled through the nose (nasopharynx) or mouth (oropharanx) and travels down the pharynx past the epiglotis and into the larynx. Then down into the Trachea where it meets the Carina and goes either right or left into the Broncus. Then down to the Bronchi and finally the alveoli where gas exchange takes place with the pulmonary capilaries.
Why is it said that Co2 gas when inhaled it's dangerous?
because that is the gas we release.
What does soft tissue gas adjacent to the proximal trachea shown on CT mean?
It means that there is an escape of air/gas into the subcutaneous tissue in the part of the trachea that is closest to the head. This is not good because air/gas is not supposed to leak out of the lungs to anywhere but out of the body through the trachea. Was this person on mechanical ventilation?
Push down on trachea of fetal pig?
there is still air in the trachea. when you push down on the trachea, the air moves from the trachea and into the lungs, thus inflating it. the lings should appear to move up. be a truth seeker
Does the trachea move when you swallow?
Yes, the trachea does move when you swallow. During swallowing, the larynx elevates and the epiglottis covers the trachea to prevent food and liquid from entering the airway. This movement helps ensure that the swallowed material goes down the esophagus instead of the trachea. Additionally, the trachea's position can shift slightly due to the surrounding muscles and structures involved in the swallowing process.
Why would move downward to close the trachea during swallowing?
The epiglottis moves downards to block the trachea during swallowing.
Functions of the trachea?
Its a pipe which helps in passing inhaled air inside the lungs and exhaled air oustide the nose to the enviornment. It is also called windpipe
