spiral muscle fibers
Bronchioles are lined with ________ epithelium.
cuboidal epithelium

______ _______ affects intraalveolar and intrapleural pressure changes

airway patency

____ __ _______ also plays a role in respiratory disease. (bronchioles)
Lack of support
________ ___________ are the 16th–19th generation of airways
terminal bronchioles
Terminal bronchioles are about _._mm in diameter
0.5mm
________ ___________ are the end of the conducting zone.
Terminal bronchioles
Terminal bronchioles contain _____ cells which are secreting cells with unknown purpose.
Clara
As the walls thin, small channels called ______ __ _______ appear between terminal bronchioles and adjacent alveoli
Canals of Lambert
_____________ ______ ________ occurs due to elastic properties of lung parenchyma (gas exchange region)
parabronchial radial traction

Airway patency is maintained in noncartilaginous airways by the __________ ______ of elastic tissue fibers

retractile forces

___________ ___________ are characterized by alveoli "budding" from their walls
respiratory bronchioles
________ _____ are composed of alveoli seperated by septal walls containing smooth muscle
alveolar ducts
________ _____ are grape–like clusters consisting of 15–20 _______
alveolar sacs, alveoli
Respiratory bronchioles + alveolar ducts + alveolar sacs =
primary lobule, acinus, lung parenchyma
In an adult male there are approximently ___ _______ alveoli
300 million
Alveolar surface area is approximently __ m2 or roughly the size of a ______ _____
70 m2, tennis court
Type I pneumocytes compose about __% of the alveolar surface
95%
Type I pneumocytes are _____, ____ cells that are the _____ site of alvolar gas exchange.
broad, thin, major
Type II pneumocytes form the remaining _% of the total alveolar surface
5%
Type II pneumocytes are the primary source of _________ __________
pulmonary surfactant
Type III cells are also known as
alveolar macrophages
Alveolar macrophages are
large, migrating phagocytes
Alveolar macrophages can do three different things after removing bacteria or other foreign particles deposited within the acini
migrate to terminal bronchioles (moved by cilia)
migrate to interstitial space and remain there or enter lymph system
remain in alveolus and die
Pores of Kohn are
small holes in the walls of the intra–alveolar septa
Pores of Kohn permit
gas movement between adjacent alveoli
Pores of Kohn are formed by these three things
desquamation of epithelial cells due to disease
normal degeneration of tissue cells due to aging
movement of macrophages
