Which side of the bronchial tree has a shorter length, causing air to flow more forcefully and increase the likelihood of turbulence and choking?

Both sides are equal in length

Left side

Right side (correct)

The length does not affect air flow

Study Notes

Blood Vessels

Arteries, veins, and capillaries are the three main types of blood vessels
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, except for the pulmonary artery
Veins carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart, except for the pulmonary vein
Capillaries allow for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients with cells

Heart Structure

The heart has four chambers: left and right atria, and left and right ventricles
The atria receive blood, while the ventricles pump blood out of the heart
The septum separates the left and right sides of the heart

Blood Circulation

Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cavae
Blood then flows into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs through the pulmonary artery
In the lungs, oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and carbon dioxide is removed
Oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary vein and enters the left atrium
Blood then flows into the left ventricle, which pumps it out to the body through the aorta

Respiratory System

The trachea divides into the right and left bronchi, which enter the lungs
The bronchi branch into smaller bronchioles, which eventually lead to alveoli
Alveoli are responsible for gas exchange between the lungs and bloodstream
Oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide diffuses out

Gas Exchange

Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out
The exchange of gases occurs through the process of diffusion

Blood Composition

Blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets suspended in plasma
Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets aid in blood clotting
Plasma carries nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body
