Match the following terms to their definitions. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Terms may be used more than once. Alveolar duct: No exchange of gases occurs here. Respiratory bronchioles: Secrete fluid containing surfactant. Type I cells: Form simple squamous epithelium in the alveoli. Type II cells: Where the respiratory zone of the lungs begins. Segmental bronchi: Terminates in alveoli. Are cuboidal cells: The respiratory membrane consists of 3 layers: capillary endothelium; fused basement membrane and alveolar epithelium consisting of.

Match each descriptive phrase to the correct type of cell found in the alveoli: - Secrete surfactant that prevents lungs from collapsing - Ingest and remove tiny inhaled particles - Contribute to the respiratory membrane - Most common (numerous) cell in the alveoli - Move along the inner surface of the alveoli - Migrate into small bronchi where they die and are swept away by cilia

Fill in the blanks with the correct epithelial tissues, location or function terms provided below: Tissue that is most commonly found in the respiratory tract: Simple squamous tissue allows for easy oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion in the lungs. Tissue found in ducts: Transitional tissue found in the bladder. Simple cuboidal tissue. Pseudostratified tissue.
