What are the functions of the respiratory part of the respiratory system?
- Higher grades + faster learning

- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the histology of the pharynx, larynx, and alveoli?
Larynx: pseudostratified columnar epithelium (with villi)
Alveoli: simple squamous
What is the general histological structure of the respiratory system?
- Mucosa (epithelium and lamina propria)
- Submucosa (connective tissue and glands) --> to make mucus
- Adventitia (anatomical membrane)
Why does the respiratory system not have a muscle layer to prevent collapsing?
What is important about the mucosa (mucus membrane)?
What is the histology of alveoli?
- Thin, simple squamous epithelium
- Covers the surface of the alveoli
- Alveoli membrane: very thin (<1 μm) for exchange of gasses
- Surface area very large
What is the respiratory defence system? What does it contain?
- Nose hairs
- Slime (mucus membrane)
- Cilia (mucus escalator)
- Alveolar macrophages
What is the histology of the nasopharynx, the oropharynx, and the laryngopharynx?
Oropharynx: stratified squamous
Laryngopharynx: stratified squamous
The trachea contains mucosa, submucosa, and adventitia. What do all these layers consist of?
Submucosa: connective tissue with many glands (serous and mucous)
Adventitia: elastic connective tissue with C-rings (cartilage)
What is the path from trachea to alveoli?
What type of epithelium do terminal bronchioles have?
What does the lamina propria contain in terminal bronchioles?
What is remarkable about the alveolar duct?
What is the interalveolar septum?
What is the difference between type I and type II pneumocytes?
What is the function of surfactant?
What is respiratory stress syndrome?
Where can you find the dust cell?
What are the two routes a dust cell can take?
- By ciliary activity transported back to the pharynx (mucus escalator)
- Back to the septum and exit the lungs via the lymph vessels
What is the blood-gas barrier?
- Cytoplasm of the endothelial cell
- Fused basal lamina of the endothelium and epithelium
- Cytoplasm of epithelium cell
- Surfactant on the epithelium
Are cell membranes a barrier for gas?
How is blood supplied to the respiratory system?
- Pulmonary circuit: pulmonary arteries follow the bronchial tree, branch via the arteriole in continuous capillaries, where blood is reoxygenated (in the alveolar septa). Reoxygenated blood flows via venous system to the left atrium.
- Systemic circuit (bronchial arteries, branch of aorta): supplies oxygen-rich blood to the larger components of the bronchial tree.
The pleura consists of two layers. What are these layers and what is the difference?
- Visceral (against the lungs)
- Parietal (against chest cavity)
What is the pleural cavity? What does it contain?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
