Enter a tick in the appropriate column to indicate whether the following structures are important in air conduction or gas exchange.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to categorize different respiratory structures based on their roles in air conduction and gas exchange. The task involves marking each structure in a table to indicate whether they contribute to one or both of these functions.
Answer
Air conduction: Trachea, primary, secondary, tertiary bronchus. Gas exchange: Alveolus, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct.
The structures marked for air conduction are trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus. The structures marked for gas exchange are alveolus, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct.
Answer for screen readers
The structures marked for air conduction are trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus. The structures marked for gas exchange are alveolus, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct.
More Information
The trachea and bronchi are part of the conducting zone, transferring air to the lungs. Alveoli and respiratory bronchioles participate in gas exchange, supporting oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing structures based on location; remember that conduction areas transfer air, while exchange areas involve alveoli.
