Two short tubes that carry air into the lungs

• Trachea
• Bronchioles
• Lungs
• Bronchi

Smaller tubes within the lungs

• Bronchioles
• Bronchi
• Lungs
• Alveoli

Alveoli have a...

• ...large surface area to allow diffusion to take place over a greater space.

• ...small surface area to allow diffusion to take place over a greater space.

• ...large surface area to allow osmosis to take place over a greater space.

• ...small surface area to allow osmosis to take place over a greater space.

Clusters of tiny air sacs that allow the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

• Pharynx
• Diaphragm
• Alveoli
• Lungs

pleurisy

• malignant tumor of the pleura

• accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity

• air in the pleural space

• inflammation of the pleura. also called pleuritis

Mucous membrane:

• forms the pleurae.
• forms the peritoneal membranes.
• lines the respiratory tract.
• is a type of connective tissue membrane.

The membrane that lines the thoracic cavity and surrounds each lung

• cutaneous
• peritoneum
• pleural
• visceral
