What is the function of the mucociliary escalator in the respiratory system?
What is the function of the mucociliary escalator in the respiratory system?
The mucociliary escalator is a defense mechanism in the respiratory system that helps to trap and remove inhaled particles, pathogens, and irritants.
Which blood vessels carry oxygenated blood?
Which blood vessels carry oxygenated blood?
The pulmonary veins are the only blood vessels in the body that carry oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs.
Where is the filtration part of the nephron located?
Where is the filtration part of the nephron located?
The renal corpuscle is the filtering unit of the nephron, responsible for removing waste products and excess fluids from the blood.

Study Notes
Respiratory System
- Lungs are not located in the middle mediastinum with the heart.
- Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.
- Heart valves prevent blood from flowing backward.
- The third intercostal space is an anatomical landmark that locates the heart's base.
- Germinal centers are parts of lymph nodes that show heightened activity during high antibody production.
- Lymph fluid does not move through lymphatic vessels via contraction of cardiac muscles.
Digestive System
- Sphincter muscles regulate food flow through the digestive tract.
Urinary System
- Renal corpuscle is where the nephron's filtration portion is housed.
- Trachea is not a structure of the upper respiratory system.
Oral Cavity
- Hard palate separates the oral and nasal cavities.
Lymphatic System
- Palatine tonsils are not correctly matched to adenoids.
- Peyer's patches capture and destroy harmful bacteria within the intestinal wall.
- Lymph nodes show increased activity during high antibody production.
Respiratory Structures
- Structures followed during exhaling: Alveolus, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, pharynx, and nasal cavity.
- Asthma is a condition that involves inflammation of the bronchi.
Other
- Mucociliary escalator defends respiratory system against pathogens.
