muscles and elastic filters to allow them to easily contract and relax during respiration
2 of 15
adaptations of alveoli?
numerous for large SA, thin and permeable walls for diffusion, surrounded by collagen and elastic filters to allow stretching
3 of 15
adaptations of trachea?
rings of cartilage to keep it open, muscles and elastic tissue keep it flexible, ciliated epithelial cells to waft mucus awards to be digested and goblet cells to produce mucus
4 of 15
where do you find cartilage?
bronchus and trachea

where do you find smooth muscle?
bronchus, trachea and bronchiole

in the alveoli why is there squamous epithelium cells?
for a short diffusion pathway
