AB Learning  ObjectivesThe  student  will  be  able  to  define  the  general  contributions  of  airway  design,  receptors,  reflexes,  and  secretions  in  lung  defense  against  microbes  and  other  respiratory  particulates.The  student  will  be  able  to  explain  how  impaction,  sedimentation,  Brownian  motion,  and  mucociliary  transport  act  to  clear  inhaled  particles  of  various  sizes.The  student  will  be  able  to  identify  key  leukocytes  of  airways  and  parenchyma,  their  roles  in  recognizing  pathogens  in  proximal  and  distal  airspaces,  and  their  secretions  of  cytokines,  chemokines,  and  other  host  defense  molecules.
