Trachea has 16-20 __ shaped rings | C |
C rings gap ___ to permit ___ | Posteriorly, swallowing |
Trachea has ___ epithelium (with goblet cells) | Ciliated |
Paired, first division of the trachea that enters the right and left lunch | Primary bronchi |
Primary bronchi also has ___ rings (unknown why) | C |
Primary bronchi has ___ epithelium (with goblet cells) | Ciliated |
___ ____ end at each lung | Primary bronchi |
Further branches of primary bronchi | Secondary bronchi |
Secondary has # lobes on right | 3 |
Secondary has # lobes on left | 2 |
Why are the number of lobes in the lung different | The heart take up more space on the left side, thus only room for 2 lobes |
