    L9; Airflow and airway resistance

    Q1. Which of the following is the site of highest airway resistance?


    A. Trachea
    B. Largest bronchi
    C. Medium sized bronchi
    D. Smallest bronchi
    E. Alveoli

    Q2. Which of the following is TRUE concerning the airflow in the lungs?
    A. During inspiration and expiration, the flow in the trachea and larger
    bronchi is laminar.
    B. Towards the middle of the bronchial tree, the flow is laminar at the
    branches and turbulant in between.
    C. Near the end of the bronchial tree, the flow is laminar.
    D. The acini have very small radii which significantly increases the total air
    flow resistance of the bronchial tree.

    Q3. In the tracheobronchial tree shown,


    Which generation offers the highest
    resistance?
    A. G0
    B. G1
    C. G2
    D. G3

    Q4. Which of the following factors can NOT greatly influence airway
    resistance?

    a. radius
    b. length
    c. viscosity
    d. Pressure gradient
