Respiratory Anatomy

2. Caused by pleural seal weakened or broken
6. The hollow space in the chest where the lungs sit
8. The physical relationship ventilation of the lungs depends on
9. The type of epithelium lining the conducting zone
12. Located at the end of air passages, where gas is exchanged
13. Premature babies do not yet produce this, increasing surface tension in alveoli and causing respiratory distress
15. Cover the outer surface of alveoli and allow for gas exchange with blood
16. A condition of chronic, increased bronchoconstriction
17. Zone of the lungs that begins after the terminal bronchiole

1. The largest air passages in the bronchial tree
3. A condition that increases lung compliance out of "goldilocks zone"
4. Cell type that produces mucus
5. An important system of the lungs that allow us to move debris clogged mucus out
7. It's most important function is to create an airtight seal between lungs and outer wall of chest
10. Layer of the pleura attached to lung itsself
11. the ability of a body structure to stretch in response to the presence of a force and recoil when that force goes away
14. Areas in this zone carry air but cannot exchange gases
