3.What organ functions as a passageway for both air and food? | pharynx |
4. What structure shields the opening to the larynx during swallowing? | epiglottis |
5.Describe the structure and function of the trachea. | |
trachea or windpipe | is a tube located anterior to the esophagus fxn: passing air |
trachea or windpipe | and extends from the larynx down to the superior border of the fifth thoracic vertebra where it divides into right and left primary bronchi. |
trachea or windpipe | The wall has an inner lining that is a ciliated mucosa which moves dust-laden mucus up toward the pharynx. |
trachea or windpipe | The wall contains a stack of 16 to 20 C-shaped pieces of hyaline cartilage whose open sides face the esophagus |
trachea or windpipe | these incomplete rings of cartilage permit slight expansion of the esophagus into the trachea during swallowing and also provide a semirigid support to prevent inward collapse of the tracheal wall |

Study the changes of the wall of the airways in the bronchial tree from bronchi to alveoli. | |
Several changes are observed as branching progresses in the bronchial tree: | the epithelium changes from ciliated to nonciliated in the terminal bronchioles |
Several changes are observed as branching progresses in the bronchial tree: | C-shaped pieces of cartilage in the primary bronchi are gradually replaced by plates of cartilage that finally disappear in the distal bronchioles |
Several changes are observed as branching progresses in the bronchial tree: | as the cartilage decreases, the amount of smooth muscle tissue increases - smooth muscle encircles the lumen in spiral bands and its contraction is affected by the ANS and by various chemicals |
Does the cartilage decreases or increase in quantity? | decreases |
Dose the amount of smooth muscle increases or decrease? | increases |
7. Compare between the right and left primary bronchus. Which one is more vertical, shorter, and wider? | (BRON-kus= windpipe |
Which one is more vertical, shorter, and wider? | Right primary bronchus/ in right lung |
7. Compare between the right and left primary bronchus. | |
right primary bronchus. | the right primary bronchus is more vertical, shorter, and wider than the left one the primary bronchi contain C-shaped pieces of cartilage and are lined by a ciliated mucosa which enters the right lung |
left primary bronchus | which enters the left lung |
At the superior border of the fifth thoracic vertebra, the trachea divides into | the right primary bronchus, which enters the right lung, and the left primary bronchus, which enters the left lung; |
right primary bronchus. | As a result, an aspirated object is more likely to enter and lodge in the right primary bronchus than the left. |
Like the trachea, the primary bronchi (BRON-kı-) contain | incomplete rings of cartilage and are lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. |
left vs right lung | The left lung has two lobes and two secondary bronchi; the right lung has three of each. |
left vs right lung | Because two-thirds of the heart lies to the left of the midline, the left lung contains a cardiac notch to accommodate the position of the heart. |
left vs right lung | The right lung is shorter than the left because the diaphragm is higher on the right side to accommodate the liver. |
