Components of Airway Resistance
Across
- 1. What kind of airflow is more abundant when you breath through your nose?
- 5. As the pressure gradient increases, the ___ rate increases (in laminar flow)
- 6. This respiratory condition is a result of narrowing of the airways that ends up increasing resistance
- 7. This has smaller radii when there's resistance on airflow
- 10. This zone allows gas exchange
- 12. One of the main components of the respiratory zone
- 15. When resistance is lower, the airflow is more ____
- 16. In the ____ zone air moves by bulk flow
- 17. Which molecule moves towards the alveolar walls during diffusion in the respiratory zone?
- 18. Resistance can result from friction between the gas and the tube ___
- 19. What does the parallel arrangement of the respiratory bronchioles affect that helps reduce resistance to airflow?
- 20. The ___ of the gas affects how the gas particles are interacting
- 21. Resistance is ___ in the upper respiratory tract
Down
- 2. this is the measure of the difficulty of flow
- 3. Bronchioles have a thinner layer of ____
- 4. Carbon dioxide moves ___ from the alveolar walls during gas exchange
- 5. Resistance results from this between the particles that are moving
- 8. bronchi have more of what type of tissue than bronchioles?
- 9. these bronchioles are thin walled and transition into respiratory bronchioles
- 11. Respiratory bronchioles have ___ radii
- 13. When branching of the bronchioles increase, resistance ___
- 14. This has a lower proportion of smooth muscle than the bronchioles
