Study Stack Respiratory #2

What do the bronchioles do?

• regulate the air into the alveoli

• regulate inhalation

• fill the intrapleural space

• regulate diffusion

By what process does the alveoli exchange gas with 

the pulmonary capillaries?

• diffusion (movement from high concentration to 

  lower concentration) 

• regulation of the air into the alveoli 

• osmosis movement from a lower concentration to a higher concentration

• Homeostasis to keep the balance of the gas

After air passes through the bronchioles, where does it go next?

• alveoli

• lungs

• diaphragm

• pleural cavity

What us the substance that helps alveoli stay open?

• surfactants

• mucous

• cartilage

• carina

What is the function of the alveoli?

• diffusion or movement from high concentration to lower concentration

• create a passage for Oxygen

What organs takes up most of the thoracic cavity?

• lungs

• upper respiratory organs

• lower respiratory organs

• bronchi

• pulmonary capillaries

• pulmonary arteries

• pulmonary vessels

• visceral pleura vessels

Which lung has three lobes?

• Right

• Left

Why does the left lung have two lobes?

• the heart is located on the left side

• left lung is smaller and only needs two lobes

• left lung is stronger

• diaphragm takes up more space on the left side

Which lung has two lobes?

• left

• right

• neither

• both
