What are the four important conditions of a respiratory surface

Biology
1 answer:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
6 0

The four important characteristics of respiratory surface are:

1. Thin walls

2. Moisture

3. Large surface area

4. Blood supply

Respiratory system or respiratory tract is divided into upper and lower tract. Upper respiratory tract includes nose and its cavities, sinuses, pharynx and the part of the larynx. Lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli.

Alveoli are the ends of the respiratory tract the smallest units in it. Alveoli are small folded air sacs that are branching off from alveolar ducts and providing an extremely large surface area for the gas exchange. Gas exchange occurs thanks to small blood vessels – capillaries that surround alveoli and it occurs via the process of diffusion.

So, respiratory surface is thin membrane also known as the blood–air barrier that consists of the alveolar epithelial cells, their basement membranes and the endothelial cells of the alveolar capillaries.

Which type of movement has the greatest need for thoracic mobility?
Arte-miy333 [17]
Rotational movements need the most thoracic mobility. This is because a rotational movement (such as twisting) because the movements are more three dimensional, and this is where the most can go wrong. For example, if you were holding a 35lb child and simply bent forward to put him/her down, this is less likely to cause injury than if you were to twist your torso to the right and put the child down. There is a lot more spinal stability and mobility needed for the second motion than the first.
