Document Summary
Module #10 respiratory system (sections 10. 1 to 10. 82) By the end of this section, you should be able to: explain the basic anatomy of the respiratory system. The lungs are located in the thoracic cavity and are surround by. Cavity and the mouth, which join together at the pharynx. Pharynx leads into the larynx (voice box), which becomes the. The trachea divides into woman bronchi which divide. Into smaller bronchioles, which end in the alveoli, whichever. The walls of the alveoli are one cell thick and are composed of. Alveoli, region bw the alveolar space and capillary lame is the. Cells of the immune system protect the body from. Airborne particles that make their way into the alveoli. Of elastin and collagen are present in the walls of the alveoli, Around blood vessel and bronchi: describe the anatomical relationship of the lungs to the chest wall, pleural membrane, and diaphragm.
