Lesson 873 of 1524
Gas Exchange, Airway Management, and Respiratory System Disorders
During inhalation, air passes through the conducting zone and travels to the respiratory bronchiole and the alveolar sac.
Practice this chapterDuring inhalation, air passes through the conducting zone and travels to the respiratory bronchiole and the alveolar sac. It is made up of the conducting zone and the respiratory zone
The lungs are protected by the ribs and sternum and are covered in protective membranes called pleurae Ventilation refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs.
lungs — protected by the ribs and sternum and are covered in protective membranes called pleurae. conducting zone — all parts of the respiratory system that do not participate in gas exchange, the passageways for air to flow into and out of the lungs. ronchi — coarse, loud sounds that occur due to constriction in the larger airways due to mucus or fluid. respiratory zone — parts of the respiratory system that perform gas exchange.
Worked example
What does “lungs” mean in Gas Exchange, Airway Management, and Respiratory System Disorders?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for lungs.
- 2The book says: protected by the ribs and sternum and are covered in protective membranes called pleurae.
- 3Do not use the meaning of conducting zone. That term means all parts of the respiratory system that do not participate in gas exchange, the passageways for air to flow into and out of the lungs.
Result: protected by the ribs and sternum and are covered in protective membranes called pleurae
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for lungs.
Do not swap lungs and conducting zone. lungs means protected by the ribs and sternum and are covered in protective membranes called pleurae. conducting zone means all parts of the respiratory system that do not participate in gas exchange, the passageways for air to flow into and out of the lungs.
