NUSG 530 STUDY GUIDE EXAM LATEST VERSION UPDATED QUESTIONS AND COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED 100% alveoli epithelial cells Type = alveolar cells (alveolar structure) Type == alveolar cells (surfactant production) What is TRUE regarding the pulmonary system? A. Each lobe is divided into bronchi. B. The left lobe is divided into three lobes. C. The mediastinum contains the lungs and heart. D. The larynx connects the upper and lower airways. Correct Answer: D The larynx connects the upper and lower airways. The mediastinum is located between the lungs and contains the heart, great vessels, and esophagus. The right lung has three lobes, and the left lung has two. Each lobe is divided into segments and lobules Neurochemical control: Respiratory centerDorsal and ventral respiratory groups Pneumotaxic and apneustic centers Neurochemical control: Lung receptors =rritant receptors Stretch receptors Neurochemical control: Chemoreceptors: Central chemoreceptors Peripheral chemoreceptors Muscles of Breathing: there are 2 Major muscles of inspiration Diaphragm External intercostals Muscles of Breathing: name the Accessory muscles of inspiration Sternocleidomastoid muscle Scalene muscles Mechanics of Breathing: Gas Transport These are the Four steps of gas transport Ventilation of the lungs Diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli into the capillary blood Perfusion of systemic capillaries with
