Document Summary
Flat articular surfers of tubercles of the 7th 10th ribs and vertebral transverse processes allow gliding. Elevation or depression of the lateral portions of the those ribs in the transverse plane! Outline the general organisation of the wall of the lower respiratory tract. Describe the histology of trachea and bronchi and bronchioles. Describe structure, location and functions of the cells of the respiratory mucosa. Compare and contrast histological features between different types of bronchioles. Describe the histology of alveoli and alveolar ducts. Describe the location and structure of blood-air barrier. Describe the structure, location and functions of different alveolar cells. Responsible for passage of air and conditioning of the inspired air. Includes nasal cavities, nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchial tree (bronchi and terminal bronchioles). Involved with gas exchange between blood and inspired air. Three principal functions of the respiratory system: The trachea is a fibrocartilaginous tube about 2. 5 cm in diameter and 12. 5 cm in length.
