What are the two zones of the respiratory system?

The respiratory system is divided into conducting and respiratory zones. The two zones are divided by the respiratory bronchioles.

What is the conducting zone of the respiratory system?

The conducting zone of the respiratory system is responsible for air travel but not gas exchange. It also assists in filtration and humidification.

What is the respiratory zone of the respiratory system?

The respiratory zone of the respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas.

What is the root of your nose?

The root of your nose is the region between your eyebrows.

What is the bridge of your nose?

The bridge of your nose connects the nose root to the rest of the nose.

What is the apex of your nose?

The apex of your nose is the tip of your nose.

What are the alae of your nose?

Alae are the lateral cartilaginous structures of your nose.

What is the philtrum?

The philtrum is the concave surface that connects your nose to your upper lip.

What is the septal cartilage of your nose?

Septal cartilage separates your nostrils and nose into left and right.

What is septal cartilage made of?

Septal cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage.

What is alar cartilage?

Alar cartilage makes up the end of your nostrils.

What is alar cartilage made of?

Alar cartilage is made of elastic cartilage.

What is the role of paranasal sinuses?

Paranasal sinuses warm and humidify incoming air and are lined with mucosa to filter our pathogens and debris.

What is the main type of epithelium found in the respiratory system?

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium is the most prevalent type in the respiratory system.

What is the role of goblet cells?

Goblet cells in the epithelial lining of the respiratory system produce mucus to trap debris.

What is the epiglottis made of?

The epiglottis is made of elastic cartilage and covers the opening of your trachea when you ingest food.

What is the glottis?

The glottis refers to the combination of both your true vocal cords and false vestibular folds.

What is the trachea made of?

The trachea consists for c-shaped hyaline cartilage rings connected by dense connective tissue.

How many lobes make up the right lung?

The right lung consists of three lobes.

How many lobes make up the left lung?

The left lung consists of two lobes.

What constitutes the upper respiratory system?

The upper respiratory system is anything above the trachea.

What constitutes the lower respiratory system?

The lower respiratory system includes the trachea and anything below it.

What is cleft palate/cleft lip?

Cleft palate is caused by the failure of facial arches of the hard palate to fuse during embryonic development and may include the exterior upper lip.

What distinguishes bronchi from bronchioles?

Bronchi has hyaline cartilage whereas bronchioles do not.
