connective tissue
cartilage
smooth muscle, which contains bronchial glands
lamina propria
basement membrane
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
goblet and serous cells

Pores of Kohn
Definition
openings in the alveolar septa that allow air to move between the alveoli
Term
Canals of Lambert
Definition
openings to a secondary respiratory bronchiole
Term
What makes up the majority of the lungs resistance
Definition
the first 6 branches of the airway
Term
what part of the airway comprises dead space in the airway
Definition
the conducting zone
Term
What happens to the velocity of air as it travels to the alveoli
Definition
velocity of air decreases
Term
From the pharynx to the terminal bronchioles gas moves by...
Definition
bulk flow
Term
Beyond the terminal bronchioles gas moves by...
Definition
diffusion
Term
Compliance Equation
Definition
change in velocity/change in pressure
Term
Pulmonary circulation path
Definition
lungs receive all output from right side of heart
pulmonary trunk--> right and left pulm. arteries--> main arteries--> lobar arteries--> segmental arteries--> arterioles--> capillaries--> venules--> veins--> pulmonary vein--> left atrium
Term
What is bronchial circulation?
Definition
nutritive blood flow to the lung that is not involved in gas exchange

Definition
10 micrometers
Term
How long does a RBC spend in the capillary network?
Definition
0.3-1.5 seconds
Term
How are the capillaries in the lung arranged?
Definition
In parallel so resistance is low
Term
Pathway for gas exchange
Definition
Surfactant--> type 1 cell wall--> basement membrane--> interstitial space--> capillary wall endothelium--> plasma--> erythrocyte
Term
Efferent innervation of the lung
Definition
comprised of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic & parasympathetic)
Term
Afferent innervation of the lungs
Definition
stretch and irritant receptors
via vagus nerve
Term
Some defenses of the airway
Definition
mucus
brownian motion
turbinates act as filters
sneezing
