What is branchogram?
Bronchogram = a radiograph of the bronchial tree after injection of a radiopaque substance .
What is the bronchial tube infection called?
Bronchitis
How is breathing affected if smooth muscle of the bronchial contracts?
When the smooth muscle of the bronchial tree contracts it creates a high resistance to the air flow into the lungs. Breathing is affected since the balance of oxygen and carbon monoxide is off, causing a higher respiration rate.
This sound is caused by spasms of the bronchial tubes and is also called wheezing?
rhonchi
Label the parts of bronchial tree?
respiratory zone is from respiratory bronchioles (generation 17-19) to alveolar ducts (generation 20-22) to alveolar sacs (generation 23). It is the site of gas exhange, where velocity of gas is low, and diffusion is the dominant mechanism of gas exchange.
What branches out as it enters the lungs?
It's called the "bronchial tree".
Hat is the smallest branches of the bronchial tree in a cat?
The smallest branches of the bronchial tree in a cat are bronchioles. These bronchioles are responsible for conducting air to and from the alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.
Why are the bronchial tree segments functionally separate in each lung?
Because the bronchial tree needs to divide the oxygen into diffrent parts of the lungs.
What is the medical term meaning cancer originating in the bronchus?
A cancerous tumor originating in the bronchus is known as bronchogenic carcinoma. It is so called because this type of cancer originates in the epithelium of the bronchial tree.
Why do you think the bronchial tree segments are functionally separate regions in each lung?
Because the bronchial tree needs to divide the oxygen into diffrent parts of the lungs.
What makes up the bronchial tree?
The bronchial tree includes the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Pimary Bronchi, Secondary Bronchi, Tertiary Bronchi, and Smaller Bronchi.
Which is the Airway connecting the larynx to the bronchial tree is?
Trachea
What is the bronchial?
The term 'bronchial tree' refers to the inner workings of the lungs. It includes the bronchi, bronchioles, and alvioli, all of which are necessary for breathing.
Where would you look for a bronchial tree?
In the chest. It is the sum of all bronchial tissue from the start of the trachea to the last divisions in the lung before the alveoli.
What is branchogram?
Bronchogram = a radiograph of the bronchial tree after injection of a radiopaque substance .
What is the bronchial tree?
The bronchial tree is the "plumbing" of the lungs, tubes carrying air to and from the alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange actually take place. It looks like tree with many branches of overlie and it help pass the oxygen in and the carbon dioxide out.
What portion of the bronchial tree supplies each lobe of the lungs?
primary bronchi
