1. secondary bronchus/bronchi (lobar bronchus) enter the __________ of the lungs.
right - 3 lobs - superior, middle, and inferior

think about it....how many lobes are in the right lung...how many in the left lung??
is it lobes?? that just seems too obvious that was a typo...nothing more, nothing less.
2. can't change atmospheric pressure so change lung pressure. how can you change pressure in lung?
change ____________
is it volume? or breathing ?
what is breathing if not a change in the volume of air contained in the lungs?
3. as ________ decreases, pressure increases (boyle's law)

4. forced exhalation uses ___________________and _____________________________.
chemoreceptors? carbon dioxide? very confused on this one.

dont you think i would of tried to look them up before posting on here? i did and couldnt find them.

well i definitely cannot find how to change pressure in the lungs online anywhere. im still not sure what to put for the answer, breathing or volume. my teacher is very specific so it matters.

my friend gave me a handout from another teacher and it takes about chemoreceptors in it so thats why i got confused on that question.

you dont have to be rude. im just trying to do my best so i can get into nursing school, geez

I wasn't rude, I was honest. And if *I* could find the answers online in a few seconds so could you...assuming you don't have a textbook?!

If you think asking members of a website to do your homework for you is acceptable, then you're in for a rude awakening in nursing school.

It is not "doing my homework for me." I have done BOTH pages, those are the only ones I couldn't find! People get help all time on here, I don't see why you are attacking me for it.

ANYWAY

do you guys think I should put volume for #2? because it does ask what to change
