12.

Bronchoscopy utilizes a fiber optic device called a bronchoscope which allows doctors to see the insides of respiratory tracts. The following is a schematic of a bronchoscopy where the bronchoscope has been inserted through the patient’s nose. Determine the order in which the doctor performing a bronchoscopy will see the following structures:

a)

Nasal cavity, pharynx, epiglottis, vocal cords, trachea, carina, left main bronchus, left lobar bronchus

left lobar bronchus,Vocal Chords,Trachea,Epiglottis,Left main Bronchus,Pharynx,Nasal Cavity

14.

What is the function of the macrophage at the level of the alveoli?

a)

Regulate pH in the alveoli to assist with oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.

b)

Secrete surfactant to decrease surface tension.

c)

Engulf pathogens which were not caught earlier in the respiratory tract.

d)

Prevent CO2 levels from getting too high in the alveoli.

15.

Which of the following are True about the Trachea?

a)

Elastin helps the trachea expand so larger items like food are able to pass through it easily.

b)

The trachea has thick walls to allow for oxygen diffusion.

c)

The trachea is reinforced with cartilaginous rings to prevent airway collapse.

d)

The trachea runs directly behind the Esophagus.

16.

The composition of the air we inhale is not the same as the air we exhale. Which of the following statements is true about the difference in composition of inhaled air versus exhaled air?

a)

The percentage of nitrogen is less in exhaled air than in inhaled air because the body uses nitrogen gas.

b)

The percentage of oxygen is greater in exhaled air than in inhaled air because the body creates oxygen during cellular respiration.

c)

The percentage of carbon dioxide is lower in exhaled air than in inhaled air because the body uses carbon dioxide as a source of energy. (Choice D)D

d)

The percentage of carbon dioxide is greater in exhaled air than in inhaled air because the body creates carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.

17.

A professional skier has been diagnosed with adult onset asthma. Which of the following reasons is most plausible for this?

a)

The air he breathes in is too cold and dry for it to be properly warmed and moistened, thus irritating his lower respiratory airways and causing asthma.

b)

He probably caught a viral pneumonia from being outdoors in cool temperatures which triggered his asthma.

c)

The rapid change in pressure from skiing down the mountain prevents his lungs from filling to capacity and can trigger asthma.

d)

The elevation at which he trains has less oxygen than at sea level, and this can trigger asthma.

The cilia move contaminated mucus away from the lungs and towards the mouth so it can be either expelled or swallowed.

b)

The cilia have a large surface area so they can efficiently absorb nutrients from the air.

c)

The cilia have a large surface area so they can absorb contaminated mucus into the lymph.
