What is intra-alveolar?
Intra-alveolar means between the alveoli. Focal means within a limited area. There are both adjectives and the phrase is missing a noun. (In other words, focal intra-alveolar...what?)
What is alveolar necrosis?
Alveolar necrosis refers to the death of cells in the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. This condition can result from various factors such as infection, injury, or inadequate blood supply, leading to impaired lung function and potential complications. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and providing supportive care to improve lung function.
What is the structure of alveolar ducts?
it dissolves oxygen in the fluid and from there it can diffuse to the alveolar cells.It goes right back to evolution where single cells have to absorb oxygen from water.All of our cells systems ae aquatic.
The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes?
The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli where gas exchange occurs. This is where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream.
What is alveolar ventilation refers to?
Alveolar volume is lung capacity. Alveoli are the air sacs in the bronchioles. How much air the lungs hold during both inspiration and expiration is lung capacity which is alveolar volume. Hope this helps
What might cause damage to the alveolar sacs?
Damage to the alveolar sacs can be caused by smoking, air pollution, respiratory infections, or long-term exposure to harmful fumes and chemicals. These factors can lead to conditions like emphysema, fibrosis, or bronchiectasis, all of which can impair the function of the alveolar sacs in the lungs.
Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?
No, alveolar ducts do not absorb carbon dioxide. Instead, the main function of alveolar ducts is to deliver oxygen from the air sacs to the bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the air sacs for exhalation.
What is a another name for alveolar sacs?
lion
Does the gas exchange function of the respiratory system occur in the alveoli?
Yes gas is transferred through the alveolar/capillary membrane in the alveolus. Gas moves from the alveolar air sacs to the pulmonary capillaries.
What causes alveolar sacs to fuse together?
Alveolar sacs is the structural unit of lungs.Tiny blood capillaries fuse together to make up an alveolar sac.This structure of the sac is very important for the easy diffusion of respiratory gases across the membrane.
What is the endpoint of bronchioles?
Respiratory bronchioles end in alveolar sacs (alveoli).
What kind of epithelial tissue is in the alveolar sacs of the lungs?
Simple Squamous
What is emphyzema?
Hyper inflation of air sacs with destruction of alveolar walls.
Alveolar ducts alveolar sacs terminal bronchioles respiratory bronchioles bronchi bronchioles What is the order from largest to smallest?
The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple). From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).
What kind of epithelial tissue is found in alveolar sacs of the lungs?
Simple Squamous
Where does Vesicular breathing sounds probably result from?
Air filling the alveolar sacs.
What is air sacs within the lungs?
Alveolar means pertaining the the alveolus (plural alveoli), the small air sacs in the lungs.
