Question

Rank the carbon dioxide level in each stage from highest to lowest. Form and function are related. Describe how the "form" of the tracheal wall is related to its four functions. Describe how the "form" of the bronchial wall is related to two functions. The respiratory membrane is made of two thin membranes from the alveolus and capillary walls. What is important about the thinness of the membranes? Draw and label an alveolus surrounded by a capillary network. You smell something delicious, and you want to inhale deeply to enjoy the smell more. Explain how you can increase the chest volume more than usual. What other muscles might be involved?

Explanation / Answer

3ans) The wall of the trachea is composed of four functions:

1) Mucosa. 2) Submucosa. 3) Cartilage. 4) Adventitia mucosa/Submucosa.

The tracheal mucosa is ciliated pseudo-stratified epithelium with goblet cells. Beneath this is a Submucosa of connective tissue and mucosa glands.

4ans) A bronchus, on the other hand, can be defined as either of the two branches of trachea which lead directly to the lungs. The two types of two functions secondary bronchi function and tertiary bronchi function.

5ans) The walls of the alveoli and capillaries in the body are made of simple squamous epithelium, which is a very thin tissue. For instance, the thickness of the respiratory membrane averages only 1/2 of a micron (1micron=1/1000 the thickness of a dime).the alveoli and capillary walls are the points of exchange of gases.
