right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, right pulmonary artery, right pulmonary arterioles
left atrium, tricuspid valve, right atrium, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, right pulmonary artery, right pulmonary arterioles
Select all that apply. In which of the following structures does gas exchange take place?
bronchi
alveolar sacs
respiratory bronchioles
alveolar ducts
trachea
The trachea and much of the bronchial tree is lined with which type of epithelium?
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
simple cuboidal
simple squamous
stratified ciliated columnar
How does the structure of the alveolar lining follow its function?
The pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium is very thin to minimize the distance gases must diffuse.
The pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium secretes mucus to trap inhaled debris in the alveoli.
The simple squamous epithelium is very thin to minimize the distance gases must diffuse.
The simple squamous epithelium secretes mucus to trap inhaled debris in the alveoli.
Gas is exchanged in the alveoli by which process?
diffusion
active transport
osmosis
filtration
Which term refers to the indentation where the pulmonary vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels, and primary bronchi enter and exit the lung?
carina
apex
lobule
hilum
Where is the pleural cavity located?
between the visceral pleura and the lung wall
between the visceral pleura and the thoracic wall
between the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura
between the parietal pleura and the thoracic wall
Select all that apply. Which structure or structures are part of the respiratory membrane?
simple squamous epithelium of pulmonary capillary
simple squamous epithelium of alveoli
respiratory adventitia
fused basal laminae of alveoli and pulmonary capillaries
respiratory submucosa
Which epithelium lines the laryngopharynx and oropharynx?
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
stratified cuboidal epithelium
simple squamous epithelium
stratified squamous epithelium
How does a terminal bronchiole differ from a respiratory bronchiole?
A respiratory bronchiole is larger in diameter than is a terminal bronchiole.
A respiratory bronchiole is lined with respiratory epithelium; a terminal bronchiole's is lined with simple cuboidal epithelium.
A terminal bronchiole contains alveoli in its walls; a respiratory bronchiole's walls contains no alveoli.
A respiratory bronchiole contains alveoli in its walls; a terminal bronchiole's walls contains no alveoli.
What is the function of the epiglottis?
It closes off the larynx during swallowing.
It closes off the nasopharynx and nasal cavity during swallowing.
It acts as a protective shield for the anterior larynx.
all of them
The external nose consists of which tissues?
cartilage and bone
bone only
hyaline cartilage only
elastic cartilage only
Which of the following is NOT part of the conducting zone of the respiratory system?
pharynx
respiratory bronchiole
trachea
bronchiole
Which statement does NOT describe the true vocal cords?
They are the inferior set of folds.
Exhaled air flowing through the glottis vibrates them to produce sound.
They are also called vestibular folds.
none of them
How many lobes are there in the right lung? How many lobes are there in the left lung?
four; two
three; two
five; three
four; three
Which statement best describes the function of the uvula?
It moves the larynx superiorly during swallowing to propel food inferiorly.
IT seals off the epiglottis during swallowing to prevent food and liquid from entering the larynx.
It moves posteriorly during swallowing to prevent food and liquid from entering the nasal cavity.
all of them
