FAQs
What are the main functions of the nose in respiration? The nose warms, moistens, and filters air, and contains olfactory receptors for smell.
Why is the right bronchus more prone to aspiration? Because it is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left.
What is the role of surfactant in the alveoli? Surfactant reduces surface tension, preventing alveolar collapse and aiding gas exchange.
