Anatomy in Clay Respiratory Test

Front

What are the primary bronchi?

Back

The primary bronchi are the two main air passages that branch from the trachea and lead into each lung.

Front

What are the secondary bronchi?

Back

The secondary bronchi are the branches of the primary bronchi that lead into the lobes of the lungs.

Front

What are the tertiary bronchi?

Back

The tertiary bronchi are the smaller branches of the secondary bronchi that further divide into bronchioles.

Front

What is the function of the bronchi?

Back

The bronchi conduct air into the lungs and help in the distribution of air to the alveoli.

Front

What is the function of the bronchioles?

Back

Bronchioles are the smallest air passages in the lungs that lead to the alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.

Front

What is the role of the alveoli?

Back

Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.

Front

What is the trachea?

Back

The trachea, or windpipe, is the tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, allowing air to pass to and from the lungs.

Front

What is the diaphragm?

Back

The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity and plays a crucial role in breathing.

Front

What is gas exchange?

Back

Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is expelled, occurring in the alveoli.

Front

What is the function of the larynx?

Back

The larynx, or voice box, is responsible for sound production and protects the trachea against food aspiration.
