Question (^4) 0 / 0 pts
What cells are in the alveolar
epithelium? Your Answer:
type I alveolar cells: cells make up 95% of the
surface area and are composed of thin squamous
cells, cannot be divided.
type II alveolar cells: cells are cuboid cells cover
about 5% of the alveolar surface area. though
they are just as numerous.
when lung injury occur type II cells are capable of
proliferating into both type I and type II cells.
Type 1 and II alveolar cells, macrophages
What occurs with the diaphragm during inspiration and expiration?
Your Answer:
diaphragm is the main muscle of inspiration. diaphragm contracts inspiration, chest expands.

upon expiration the diaphragm relax and (stop contracting)the chest cavity decreasesand the pre
increases which will forced the air out of the lungs
Question 6
inspiration: respiratory when the diaphragm contacts the thoracic
cavity ex expiration: respiratory muscle relax and the thoracic cavity
retracts greater
During inspiration, air is drawn into the lungs as the respiratory muscles expa
relax and the chest cavity becomes smaller.

What is ventilation? Perfusion? Diffusion?
Your Answer:
ventilation is the movement of gases into and out of the lungs
perfussion is the movement of blood into the necessary organ and
tissue so t diffusion os the movement of gases across the alveolar
capillary membrane.

chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease is
characterized by chronic and recurrent airflow
abstraction
leading cause of morbidity and mortality
worldwide smoking is by far the leading
risk factor
less common risk factor is heredity alpha-
1antitrypsin ATT protein Deficiency
addition factor include asthma and airway hyperresposivenness
The pathogenesis of COPD includes inflammation and
fibrosis of the bronchial wall, hypertrophy of the
submucosal glands and hypersecretion of mucus, and loss
of elastic lung fibers and alveolar tissue. This airflow
obstruction causes a mismatch in ventilation and perfusion.
Alveolar tissue destruction leads to a decreased surface
area for gas exchange.
What is the leading risk factor for COPD?

smoking

Answer:
the characteristics of asthma are obstructed airways,
bronchia' hyper responsiveness , airways inflammation , and
in some cases airways remodeling.
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by
airway obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, airway
inflammation, and in some cases, airway remodeling.

Question 19
What type of substance causes a pulmonary
embolism? Your Answer:
pulmonary embolism occurs when a substance lodges
in branch of the pulmonary artery and obstructs blood
flow. the embolism maybe a thrombus air accidentally
injected into an intravenous infusion, fat from the bone
marrow after a fracture or trauma or amniotic fluid that
enters the maternal circulation after rupture of
membrane.
