Figure 39.7 Which of the following statements about the mammalian respiratory system is false? When we breathe in, air travels from the pharynx to the trachea. The bronchioles branch into bronchi. Alveolar ducts connect to alveolar sacs. Gas exchange between the lung and blood takes place in the alveolus.
Breathing _______. a. ventilates the lungs b. draws air into airways c. expels air from airways d. causes reversals in pressure gradients e. all of the above
Put the following in order by numbering from 1 to 5 - Diaphragm contracts and flattens and ribs elevate - The diaphragm returns to its dome shape resting position - The thoracic cavity increases in volume - Air inters the lungs due to a lower pressure gradient than atmospheric pressure - A subatmospheric pressure is created in the lungs
Pharyngeal sinus; lighten the bones of the skull and serve as resonating chambers for speech Adenoid tonsil; trap bacteria and viruses which you breathe in through your nose Inferior nasal concha; swirl the air around to allow the air time to humidify, warm, and be cleaned before it enters the lungs Eustachian tube; controls the pressure within the middle ear, making it equal with the air pressure outside the body
Which of the following is NOT part of the respiratory membrane or respiratory epithelium ? Diaphragm Cuboidal epithelium with cilia Stratified squamous epithelium Capillary endothelium Red blood cell Fused basement membranes between the alveolar and endothelial cells
Which of the following is NOT a function of the respiratory system? Pathogen defense Synthesis of hormones Gas Exchange pH homeostasis Vocalization
If a respiratory pigment such as hemoglobin or hemocyanin is not present in blood the blood would not carry carbon dioxide the blood would have decreased oxygen carrying capacity the blood would not carry oxygen
Pleural membranes surround the lungs. These membranes serve as the glue between the lungs and the thoracic cavity. Which of the following statements is correct about these structures? The visceral pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together The parietal pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the visceral pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the visceral pleura The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the parietal pleura
In response to an allergic reaction your body releases histamine into the blood stream. One of the consequences of this is that it leads to difficulty in breathing. This is likely because O Your trachea becomes clogged Macrophages around the alveoli are activated Your bronchioles dilate The mucociliary elevator ceases to function Your bronchioles constrict OOO
What type of epithelium lines the alveoli? simple columnar simple squamous 0 0 0 0 pseudostratified stratified squamous
What is the structure that protects the lungs? heart pleural membrane chest cavity diapragm Which of the following blood vessels do NOT force blood
All cilia of the upper respiratory tract move mucus to the: trachea O esophagus vestibule of the nose The last complete ring of cartilage in the respiratory tract as you move from the nose toward the lungs is in the: trachea bronchi O larynx O bronchioles
