The alveoli are the site of gas exchange in the lungs. Describe at least 1 structural component of the alveoli that helps in their function. Be sure to explain how/why it helps.

The trachea is one of the final defenses against invaders before getting deep into the lower respiratory tract. List two types of cells that are found in the tissue of the trachea. For each describe its role in defense. For ease of grading purposes please set up your answer as follows:
1. Cell type 1- role
2. Cell type 2- role

When an asthma attack occurs, mucus production is increased, muscles of the tubes that connect the trachea to the alveoli, become tight, and the lining of the air passages swell, reducing airflow and producing the characteristic wheezing sound. What organ of the respiratory system is most directly affected by asthma?
Nose

Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds including irritants, carcinogens, mutagens and toxins. In the respiratory system of a smoker, mucus is produced in excess. “Smoker’s” cough results when certain structure can’t remove such thick mucus so it must be coughed up. Which of the following structures is unable to do its job of mucus removal in a smoker ?
Cilia
Trachea
Goblet Cells
Nasal Cavity
Olfactory Receptor Cells
Nasal Conchae
Match the structure of the nasal cavity with its function:
Capillaries
Push mucus filled with unwanted particles, toward pharynx
Epethelial cells with cilia
Secrete mucus to trap particles
Goblet cells
Warm air
Cartilaginous rings...
Are C-shaped
Help move mucus and foreign particles towards pharynx
Provide support for the trachea
All of the above
Option #1 and 3
Without the respiratory system the circulatory system would.....
not have any oxygen to deliver to cells
be overloaded with carbon dioxide
be able to continue functioning just fine
pump blood faster since it is not regulated by breathing
The order through which oxygen flows through the lower respiratory organs is....
