Which of the following statements about the lungs is not correct? Parietal pleural membrane covers each lung The diaphragm is located below the lungs Each lung is surrounded by its own pleural sac O The left lung has two lobes and right lung has three lobes

Pleural membranes surround the lungs. These membranes serve as the glue between the lungs and the thoracic cavity. Which of the following statements is correct about these structures? The visceral pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together The parietal pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the visceral pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the visceral pleura The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the parietal pleura

In forming the lung-blood barrier, all of the following are involved EXCEPT: O the basal lamina O Type I alveolar cells O capillary endothelial cells Type II alveolar cells

What are "respiratory droplets"? Mucus generated in the nasal cavities that drips down the back of the throat to cause post-nasal drip Droplets of saliva released when someone talks, sneezes, or coughs. Droplets of tissue fluid that accumulate in the lungs Droplets of aerosol from a flush of a toilet

As the diaphragm contracts, the rib cage expands and the lungs fill with air. This is an inhalation true or false

What causes wheeze in a patient suffering from an acute exacerbation of asthma? Question 19 options: Alveolar air trapping due to collapse of distal airways Presence of mucus plugs that occlude proximal bronchioles High velocity air travelling through narrowed airways Inadequate oxygenation of the blood and associated hypoxemia

After inserting an endotracheal tube into a patient's chest during an attempt to intubate (this process forces air into the lungs through the tube), you listen for respiratory sounds and hear them only in the right lung.  What does this tell you about your tube placement? Group of answer choices You likely went past the carina and into the right primary bronchus. You likely went past the carina and into the left primary bronchus. You didn't pass the carina and are still above it in the trachea. The right lung is likely collapsed.

Smoking damages two parts of the respiratory system: the airways known as the [1] and small air sacs called the [2]. [3] in your airway helps capture debris (dust, smoke, pathogens) in the air you breathe, then structures called [4] sweep the [5] and debris out of your lungs. Cigarette smoke irritates the lining of your airway, causing it to [6]; this makes the diameter of your airway [7] and slows the movement of air. Smoke also slows the movement of [8]. Is a "smoker's cough" due to damage of alveoli or bronchial tubes? [9] Is a long-term smoker's difficulty breathing due to damage of alveoli or bronchial tubes? [10] [11] is a lung disease caused by damage to the alveoli.

Which of the following would you expect to find in the pulmonary system? An overall higher concentration of oxygen in the pulmonary arteries A similar concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide as in the rest of the body An overall higher concentration of oxygen in the pulmonary veins An overall higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the veins
