Learning objectivesStudent should understand the following:
The gross structure and function of the human gas exchange system limited to the alveoli, bronchioles, bronchi, trachea and lungs.

Mammalian lungsThe lungs are the site of gas exchange in
mammals.
Why are they located inside the body?The air is not dense enough to support themThey would dry out
The lungs are supported by the ribcage which can be moved by the use of the intercostal muscles.

TracheaThe trachea is a flexible airway supported by
rings of cartilage which prevent the trachea collapsing when the air pressure inside falls.
The walls are made up of muscle, lined with ciliated epithelium and goblet cells.The goblet cells produce mucus which
traps dirt and bacteria.The cilia move the mucus up to the
throat where it is swallowed.

Bronchi – 2 divisions of the trachea. Larger bronchi are supported by cartilage.
Bronchioles – branching subdivisions of the bronchi. The walls are made of muscle lined with epithelial cells. The muscle enables them to control the flow of air in and out of the alveoli.

AlveoliMinute air-sacs at the end of the
bronchioles.
Contain collagen and elastic fibres.

With air entering and leaving the lungs, they increase and decrease in size on a regular basis.
When organs in the body increase in size, they will touch other organs because of the lack of space.
Problems with lung expansion
This is a danger because living tissue is very delicate and when tissues rub against each other, friction could be generated.
This friction could damage the tissue and kill cells.
Therefore, a protective bag called the pleural membrane surrounds the lungs, which are likely to rub against other organs during the breathing process.
