Question
Chapter 22, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The part of the respiratory mucosa that warms the inhaled air.
Introduction:
The respiratory mucosa lines the respiratory passageways. Different types of epithelial cells warm as well as moisten the air helping the passageway stay clear from an infection. Finally, the filtered air reaches the end of the lungs. The gaseous exchange between the blood capillaries and air takes place within the lungs.
