in the trachea the OPEN ends of the incomplete cartilaginous rings are directed ______, and the gap between the 2 ends of each ring is bridged by _____ tissue and _____ muscle.   Posteriorly, Connective , Smooth  
🗑
in the trachea The connective tissue bridge between the 2 ends of each ring is adjacent to the posteriorly related ______   esophagus  
🗑
The Tracheal ______ marks the end of the trachea and the beginning of 2 primary _____   Bifurcation , Bronchi  
🗑
it is the _____ bronchi that that will enter the substance of the lungs   primary  
🗑
The trachea lies _____ to the esophagus   anterior  
🗑
The trachea terminates by bifurcating on to 2 primary bronchi called the ?   Right Primary Bronchus, Left Primary Bronchus  
🗑
Which bronchus is wider, shorter , and straighter ( forms less acute angle with the trachea) ?   RPB  
🗑
The RPB is approx ___ cm in length   2.5 cm  
🗑
The RPB enters the right lung at the _____ of the right lung and divides into 3 _______ Bronchi , 1 for each of the lobes of the right lung   Hilus, Secondary  
🗑
Each of the 3 secondary bronchi will branch again into ______ bronchi what will supply a _____________ segment   tertiary . BRONCHOPULMONARY  
🗑
The Term BRONCHOPULMONARY segment is applied to the _______ segment within a lobe of the lung.   Largest  
🗑
BRONCHOPULMONARY segments are separated from each other by ______- tissue septa that prevent ______ of air from 1 segment to another   connective, diffusion  
🗑
The Left Primary Bronchus is ______ in caliber but about ___ as long as the right (__cm)   Smaller, twice , 5 cm  
🗑
The LPB makes ___ of an acute angle then the RPB   more  
🗑
so if u are choking because something falls from the though the trachea most likely something is lodged in the _____ since its more inline with the trachea.   RPB  
🗑
The LPB enters the left lung through the _____ and divides into 2 secondary bronchi , 1 for the upper lobe and 1 for the lower lobe   Hilus  
🗑
In the LPB the tertiary bronchi subdivide_____ times and eventually into many _______.   numerous, Bronchiols  
🗑
Bronchioles are much ______ and more ______ then bronchi.   smaller, numerous  
🗑
Bronchioles do not contain _____ in their walls to prevent them from ______ on inspiratory movements because they are _____ the substance of the ____ which itself is expanded during inspiratory movements. Compared to bronchi   cartilage, collapsing, inside, lungs  
🗑
The terminal bronchioles in turn divide into ________ bronchioles   Respiratory  
🗑
Respiratory bronchioles are very ____ tubes composed of ______ tissue and ______ muscle.   small,connective, smooth  
🗑
A few ____ bud off the respiratory bronchioles and are the reason why these bronchioles are termed respiratory bronchioles   alveoli  
🗑
The respiratory bronchioles ___ and ___ conelike into _ to _ alveolar ducts.   Branch, Radiate, 2,11  
🗑
The ____ ducts are long thin-walled tubes of _____ tissue and ___ muscle   Alveolar, connective, smooth  
🗑

At the level of alveoli there is NO longer any _____ or _____ ____ .   cartilage, smooth muscle  
🗑
All that remains of alveolar walls is a ___ layer of ____ and _____ tissue   thin, epithelium, connective tissue  
🗑
the most conspicuous feature of the alveoli is the presence of numerous _____ adjacent to them   Capillaries  
🗑
The capillaries are situated so that a great portion of their surface is directed towards the ___ . since it is the alveolar wall plus the capillary wall that make up the respiratory membrane, which is the membrane which ___ exchange will occur.   alveolus(small cavity) , gas
