🗑
The alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries are all made of   simple squamous epithelial  
🗑
Exchange of gases is possible in the lungs because the alveoli are lined with in which gasses can desolve   tissue fluid  
🗑
Normal inflation of alveoli is possible because decreases the surface tension within alveoli   pulmonary surfactant  
🗑
Pulmonary surfactant permits normal inhalation because it decreases the within alveoli   surface tension

🗑
The external intercostal muscles contribute to by pulling the ribs   inhalation, up and out  
🗑
The ribs are pulled up and out by the   external intercostal  
🗑
The internal intercostal muscles contribute to a   forced inhalation  
🗑
A forced exhalation requires muscles   internal intercostal  
🗑
The muscles that bring about inhalation are the muscles   diaphragm  
🗑
The elastic connective tissue of the lungs contributes to   exhalation  
🗑
Normal exhalation is a passive process and depends on the tissue of the lungs   elastic connective  
🗑
The air pressure outside the body is called pressure   atmospheric pressure  
🗑
The air pressure within the bronchial tree is called   intrapulmonic pressure  
🗑
During inhalation, intrapulmonic pressure   decreases  
🗑
During exhalation, intrapulmonic pressure   increases  
🗑
In external respiration oxygen diffuses from the   alveoli  
🗑
In external respiration carbon dioxide diffuses from the   blood  
🗑
During breathing the pleural membranes are kept together by the presence of   serous fluid  
🗑
The partial pressure of a gas in air or a body fluid is a measure of the of the gas   consentration  
🗑
In internal respiration oxygen from the to the   blood, tissue  
🗑
In internal respiration carbon dioxide diffuses form the to the blood   tissue, blood  
🗑
In internal respiration the PO2 in the blood is   high  
🗑
In internal respiration the PO2 in the tissue is   low
