Parts of the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs.

A flap that prevents food from entering the trachea during swallowing.

The location where oxygen intake occurs in the respiratory system.

Part of the respiratory system responsible for filtering inhalable dust.

The part of the respiratory system that contains receptors for smell.

Cells that produce mucous to trap unwanted particles in the respiratory system.

Epithelial lining of terminal bronchioles in the respiratory system.

Small hair-like structures that sweep mucous towards the throat in the lower respiratory tract.

Tiny sacs in the lungs that facilitate gas exchange.

Structurals in the trachea that prevent its collapse during pressure changes.

A condition characterized by spontaneous narrowing of the airways.

Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing and breathlessness.

Smooth muscle contraction and tissue fibrosis are two causes of airway narrowing in asthma.

Cells that mediate airway inflammation in asthma.

Cells that release inflammatory mediators upon allergen binding to IgE.

Cells that produce IgE antibodies against allergens.

Causes bronchoconstriction when it acts on its receptors.

Contribute to tissue remodeling and increased mucous production in asthma.

Resulting in the release of inflammatory mediators by mast cells.
