What lacks the support of cartilage in the respiratory system?
THE BRONCHIOLES
Which organ of respiratory system do not contain cartilage?
the bronchioles
Function of cartilage in the respiratory system?
Cartilage in the respiratory system (usually found in the trachea and some small amounts in the bronchi), is to act as a way to keep the passageways open.
What are the properties of hyaline cartilage?
low amount of collagenmatrix gives shiny and translucent appearancefound in support rings of the respiratory system and covering the ends of bonds that articulate at the joints

What is the laryngeal cartilage that keeps swallowed materials out of the lower respiratory system?
epiglottis
What is a bone-like substance in the respiratory system?
Cartilage is a tough, flexible connective tissue that is present in the walls of the respiratory system, such as the trachea and bronchi. It provides structural support and helps to keep the airways open during breathing.
Which tissue maintains open airways in the lower respiratory system?
hyaline cartilagehyaline cartilage
Does the alveolar duct have cartilage?
No, the alveolar duct does not have cartilage. It is a structure within the lungs that connects the respiratory bronchioles to the alveolar sacs where gas exchange occurs. Cartilage is primarily found in the larger airways of the respiratory system to provide structural support and maintain airway patency.
What is the role of cartilage in the respiratory system?
keeps the trachea open when the head is bent or turned
What body system is the bronchi part of?
The lungs. The bronchioles are the first airway branches that no longer contain cartilage. They are branches of the bronchi, and are smaller than one millimeter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchiole The lungs are in the respiratory system. They are used in the processing of oxygen in the body. The bronchioles are the first airway branches that no longer contain cartilage. They are branches of the bronchi, and are smaller than one millimeter.
What parts of the respiratory system function as the main sites of gas exchange?
In the respiratory system, it is the alveoli.In the circulatory system, it's the capillaries.They are similar in that both have walls that are only one cell thick, they are both the thinnest parts of their systems, and they are right next to each other. (They diffuse through to each other.)In the respiratory system it's the Alveoli and in the circulatory system it's the capillaries :D
