Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words.
Explain what happens to the epiglottis during swallowing. Why? Your Answer:
When we swallow the epiglottis moves to block the entrance of food particles into our larynx and lungs. The muscles of the larynx pull upward to assist with this movement. They tightly close during swallowing. This prevents food from entering our lungs.
The trachea is closed by the epiglottis. The epiglottis moves inferiorly, covering the trachea. This is to prevent food or liquid from entering the lungs.

Explain at least two differences between Type I and Type II alveolar cells. Your Answer:
The type I cells is a complex branched cell with multiple cytoplasmic plates that are greatly attenuated and realatively devoid of organelles. Type I cells the very thin simple squamous epithelium of the alveoli junction with capillaries. Make up roughly 95 % of aleveolar epithelial cells.
The Type II cells act as the 'caretaker' of the alveolar compartment. Type II produce and secrete pulmonary surfactant which is needed throughout the alveolar surface to keep the alveoli open. In addion, Type II cells can divide to replace damaged Type I cells.
Make up roughly 5% of alveolar epithelial cells.
a. Type I form the very thin simple squamous epithelium of the alveoli in junction with capillaries. Make up roughly 95% of alveolar epithelial cells.
b. Type II produce and secrete pulmonary surfactant which is needed throughout the alveolar surface to keep the alveoli open. In addition, Type II cells can divide to replace damaged Type I cells. Make up roughly 5% of alveolar epithelial cells.
True/False: Positive pressure is used to move air into the lungs. True
False
(Negative pressure)
True/False: During inhalation the diaphragm contracts to pull the lungs open.
True
False
True/False: During inhalation the rib cage lifts in an upward motion to open and expand
the lungs.
False
True/False: As the thoracic cavity expands and lung volume increases, the density of the gases filling the lungs decreases.
True
False
True/False: When the diaphragm rises, thoracic pressure increases and air naturally flows out of the lungs.
True
(air naturally flows out of the lungs because of the pressure difference)
False
Boyle's law states that gas volume is:
A. Directly proportional to temperature
C. Directly proportional to pressure
D. Inversely proportional to pressure
E. Both A and B

Thyroid
Cricoid
Arytenoid
Epiglottal
