10 Questions
Lung immune mechanisms and how they protect against ______
pathogens
Intrapulmonary, intrapleural and ______ pressures
transpulmonary
Mechanics of quiet ______ and expiration
inspiration
Lung ______, lung elastic recoil, and radial traction
compliance
Factors affecting mechanics of ventilation including ______ and airways resistance
surfactant
Describe the first line of defense in the immune defenses of the lung.
The first line of defense in the immune defenses of the lung includes non-specific barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes.
What are the second line immune cells involved in the immune defenses of the lung?
The second line immune cells involved in the immune defenses of the lung include patrolling leukocytes, which are phagocytic white blood cells.
What are the main functions of the lung immune mechanisms?
The main functions of the lung immune mechanisms are to protect against pathogens and maintain respiratory tract immunity.
What are the factors that affect the mechanics of ventilation?
The factors that affect the mechanics of ventilation include surfactant and airway resistance.
Define and describe lung compliance, lung elastic recoil, and radial traction.
Lung compliance refers to the ease with which the lungs can be stretched, while lung elastic recoil refers to the ability of the lungs to return to their original shape after being stretched. Radial traction refers to the force that helps keep the airways open during expiration.
Test your knowledge on the immune mechanisms of the respiratory system, as well as the pressures and mechanics involved in ventilation. This quiz is designed to help you understand how the lungs protect against pathogens and the dynamics of quiet inspiration.
