true
42
which structure helps to protect against tracheal obstruction
larynx
## Footnote
The larynx is superior to the trachea in the respiratory tract. The laryngeal opening (glottis) is covered by the epiglottis during swallowing, normally preventing ingested materials from passing into the trachea.
43
which cartilage belonging to the larynx anchors the vocal cords?
arytenoid cartilage
## Footnote
The arytenoid cartilages serve as an anchor for the vocal cords. They can be controlled using muscles to give different tones during speech.

45
which cavity surrounds the lungs alone

46
the indentation on the medial surface of each lung through which pulmonary and systemic blood vessels, bronchi, lymphatic vessels, and nerves enter and leave is called

* parietal and visceral pleura are continuous
* visceral pleura covers the external lung surface and lines the fissures between lobes
48

a cardiac notch
49
# true or false:
the parietal pleura lines the thoracic wall
true
50
the walls of the alveoli are composed of two types of cells, type I and type II alveolar cells. the function of type II alveolar cells is to
secrete surfactant
51
in babies born prematurely, pulmonary surfactant may not be present in adequate amounts due to
inefficient exocytosis in the type II alveolar cells
## Footnote
Type II alveolar cells make surfactant which they release via exocytosis onto the inner wall of alveoli. Without surfactant, the surface tension created by the water vapor within the alveoli would cause them to collapse.
52
steps to gas exchange
1. breathing moves air in and out of the lungs
2. oxygen diffuses from alveoli in the lungs into capillaries
3. oxygen enters red blood cells, where it binds to the protein hemoglobin
4. oxygen diffuses to from the blood to the body's tissues, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues to the blood
5. carbon dioxide leaves the body when exhale
53
pathway of air in the body
1. air enters through the nose or mouth
2. air travels down the trachea and then enters the bronchi
3. air travels down smaller and smaller bronchioles
4. air reaches small sacs called alveoli
54
during pneumia, the lungs become "waterlogged"; this means that within the alveoli there is an abnormal accumulation of
interstitial fluid
## Footnote
Pneumonia is an infection within the lung tissue often accompanied by inflammation. In response to inflammation, the increased permeability of the respiratory membrane results in increased formation of interstitial fluid that enters the alveoli.
55
the symptoms of hyperventilation may be averted by breathing into a paper bag because it
helps retain carbon dioxide in the blood

visceral pleura of the same lung

63
# true or false:

false
## Footnote
Residual volume cannot be measured; it has to be estimated, generally based on the size and sex of an individual. The volume cannot be detected with a spirometer because the volume of residual air left in the lungs at the end of expiration cannot pass through a spirometer to be measured.
64

65
