11. Name the subregions or lung lobes that make up the lungs.
12. What is supporting structure that holds the early bronchi such as the primary
bronchus, in place? When does this support disappear?
13. In most CFPD models, the respiratory walls are smooth and rigid. Describe the
surface of a realistic tracheobronchial airway walls. What considerations would
you need to make when reviewing the CFPD flow and particle results?
14. In the physiology of respiration, describe the difference between Tidal Volume
and Total Lung Capacity.
15. Discuss in the terms of pressure difference, how respiration occurs within the
lungs.
16. Referring to the Reynolds number, do you think the bronchiole airways will
increase or decrease the inertial effects of the flow in comparison with the primary
bronchi?
17. What is the transport process that allows the exchange of O 2 and CO 2 gas and
in which anatomy does this occur?
