- Trachea, larynx, bronchi, alveoli
- Question 14
- Pump blood to the lungs
- Exchange oxygen with blood
- Filter, warm, and humidify air
- Produce pulmonary surfactant
- Question 15
- It contains both alveoli and capillaries
- It produces both mucus and surfactant
- It connects both lungs to the heart
- It carries both air and food
- Question 16
- Larynx
- Trachea
- Primary bronchus
- Pharynx
- Question 17
- It produces mucus in the bronchioles
- It prevents food from entering the larynx during swallowing
- It keeps the pleural cavity open
- It increases oxygen diffusion across alveoli
- Question 18
- Bundles of alveolar muscle
- Complete rings of bone
- Layers of pleural fluid
- Incomplete rings of cartilage
- Question 19
- They merge to form the trachea
- They arise when the trachea divides
- They are extensions of the pharynx
- They arise directly from the alveoli
- Question 20
- The right lung has two lobes and the left has three
- Both lungs have three lobes
- The right lung has three lobes and the left has two
- Both lungs have two lobes
- Question 21
- Both layers directly line the alveoli
- Both layers are located inside the trachea
- Visceral pleura around the thoracic wall; parietal pleura on the lung
- Visceral pleura on the lung; parietal pleura lining the thoracic wall
- Question 22
- A thin alveolar-capillary barrier
- A shared passageway for food
- Large vocal cords
- Thick cartilage rings
- Question 23
- Transport of oxygen by red blood cells
- Production of surfactant by alveolar cells
- Movement of air into and out of the lungs
- Diffusion of gases between tissues and systemic blood
- Question 24
- Thoracic volume decreases
- The diaphragm relaxes and ascends
- Alveolar pressure rises above atmospheric pressure
- The diaphragm contracts and descends
- Question 25
- Alveolar pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure
- The diaphragm is fully relaxed
- Thoracic volume is at its minimum
- Alveolar pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure
- Question 26

- Expansion of the pleural cavity
- Diaphragm contraction and increased thoracic volume
- Diaphragm relaxation and elastic recoil
- Question 27
- Exchange between systemic blood and tissue cells
- Exchange between alveoli and pulmonary capillary blood
- Movement of blood from the heart to the body
- Movement of air through the trachea
- Question 28

- Air remaining after maximum expiration
- Question 29
- Vital capacity
- Residual volume
- Inspiratory reserve volume
- Tidal volume
- Question 30
- The maximum air exhaled after maximum inspiration
- The air moved during one quiet breath
- The air remaining after forced expiration
- The air in the conducting airways only
